'how to change color of TextinputLayout's label and edittext underline android

I am using android design library's TextinputLayout. But couldn't customize the hint color, label color and the underline color of EditText inside TextinputLayout. Please help.

Solution 1:^[1]

Change bottom line color:

<item name="colorControlNormal">#c5c5c5</item>
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/accent</item>
<item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/accent</item>

For more info check this thread.

Change hint color when it is floating

<style name="MyHintStyle" parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/main_color</item>
</style>

and use it like this:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    ...
    app:hintTextAppearance="@style/MyHintStyle">

Change hint color when it is not a floating label:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    ...
    app:hintTextAppearance="@style/MyHintStyle"
    android:textColorHint="#c1c2c4">

With the Material Components Library you can use the com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout.

You can apply a custom style to change the colors.

To change the hint color you have to use these attributes:
hintTextColor and android:textColorHint.

<style name="Custom_textinputlayout_filledbox" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox">
    <!-- The color of the label when it is collapsed and the text field is active -->
    <item name="hintTextColor">?attr/colorPrimary</item>

    <!-- The color of the label in all other text field states (such as resting and disabled) -->
    <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/selector_hint_text_color</item>
</style>

You should use a selector for the android:textColorHint. Something like:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:alpha="0.38" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface" android:state_enabled="false"/>
  <item android:alpha="0.6" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface"/>
</selector>

To change the bottom line color you have to use the attribute: boxStrokeColor.

<style name="Custom_textinputlayout_filledbox" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox">
    ....
    <item name="boxStrokeColor">@color/selector_stroke_color</item>
</style>

Also in this case you should use a selector. Something like:

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:color="?attr/colorPrimary" android:state_focused="true"/>
  <item android:alpha="0.87" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface" android:state_hovered="true"/>
  <item android:alpha="0.12" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface" android:state_enabled="false"/>
  <item android:alpha="0.38" android:color="?attr/colorOnSurface"/>
</selector>

You can also apply these attributes in your layout:

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox"
    app:boxStrokeColor="@color/selector_stroke_color"
    app:hintTextColor="?attr/colorPrimary"
    android:textColorHint="@color/selector_hint_text_color"
    ...>

Based on Fedor Kazakov and others answers, I created a default config.

styles.xml

<resources>

    <!-- Base application theme. -->
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light">
        <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
        <item name="colorPrimary">@color/colorPrimary</item>
        <item name="colorPrimaryDark">@color/colorPrimaryDark</item>
        <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>
    </style>

    <style name="Widget.Design.TextInputLayout" parent="AppTheme">
        <item name="hintTextAppearance">@style/AppTheme.TextFloatLabelAppearance</item>
        <item name="errorTextAppearance">@style/AppTheme.TextErrorAppearance</item>
        <item name="counterTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Design.Counter</item>
        <item name="counterOverflowTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Design.Counter.Overflow</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.TextFloatLabelAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Hint">
        <!-- Floating label appearance here -->
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorAccent</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
    </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.TextErrorAppearance" parent="TextAppearance.Design.Error">
        <!-- Error message appearance here -->
        <item name="android:textColor">#ff0000</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
    </style>

</resources>

activity_layout.xml

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content">

    <android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatEditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Text hint here"
        android:text="5,2" />

</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Add this attribute in Edittext tag and enjoy:

 android:backgroundTint="@color/colorWhite"

Solution 5:^[5]

This Blog Post describes various styling aspects of EditText and AutoCompleteTextView wrapped by TextInputLayout.

For EditText and AppCompat lib 22.1.0+ you can set theme attribute with some theme related settings:

<style name="StyledTilEditTextTheme">
   <item name="android:imeOptions">actionNext</item>
   <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
   <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/greyLight</item>
   <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/blue</item>
   <item name="android:textColorPrimary">@color/blue</item>
   <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/styledtil_edit_text_size</item>
</style>

<style name="StyledTilEditText">
    <item name="android:theme">@style/StyledTilEditTextTheme</item>
    <item name="android:paddingTop">4dp</item>
</style>

and apply them on EditText:

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/etEditText"
    style="@style/StyledTilEditText"

For AutoCompleteTextView things are more complicated because wrapping it in TextInputLayout and applying this theme breaks floating label behaviour. You need to fix this in code:

private void setStyleForTextForAutoComplete(int color) {
    Drawable wrappedDrawable =     DrawableCompat.wrap(autoCompleteTextView.getBackground());
    DrawableCompat.setTint(wrappedDrawable, color);
    autoCompleteTextView.setBackgroundDrawable(wrappedDrawable);
}

and in Activity.onCreate:

setStyleForTextForAutoComplete(getResources().getColor(R.color.greyLight));
autoCompleteTextView.setOnFocusChangeListener((v, hasFocus) -> {
    if(hasFocus) {
        setStyleForTextForAutoComplete(getResources().getColor(R.color.blue));
    } else {
        if(autoCompleteTextView.getText().length() == 0) {  
              setStyleForTextForAutoComplete(getResources().getColor(R.color.greyLight));
        }
    }
});

Solution 6:^[6]

If you want to change the bar/line color and the hint text color of the TextInputLayout (what the accent color normally is), then just create this style:

<style name="MyStyle">
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/your_color</item>
</style>

Then apply it to your TextInputLayout as a theme:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    ...
    app:theme="@style/MyStyle" />

This basically sets a theme (not style) to one view (as opposed to the whole activity).

Solution 7:^[7]

A TextinputLayout is not a view, but a Layout, as very nicely described by Dimitrios Tsigouris in his blog post here. Therefore, you don't need a Style, which is for Views only, but use a Theme. Following the blog post, I ended up with the following solution:

Start in your styles.xml with

<style name="TextInputLayoutAppearance" parent="Widget.Design.TextInputLayout">
        <!-- reference our hint & error styles -->
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/your_colour_here</item>
        <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/your_colour_here</item>
        <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/your_colour_here</item>
        <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/your_colour_here</item>
        <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/your_colour_here</item>
</style>

And in your layout add

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
                android:theme="@style/TextInputLayoutAppearance"
...

Solution 8:^[8]

<style name="Widget.Design.TextInputLayout" parent="android:Widget">
    <item name="hintTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Design.Hint</item>
    <item name="errorTextAppearance">@style/TextAppearance.Design.Error</item>
</style>

You can override this style for layout

And also you can change inner EditText-item style too.

Solution 9:^[9]

<style name="EditScreenTextInputLayoutStyle" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/actionBar_background</item>
    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/actionBar_background</item>
    <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/actionBar_background</item>
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/actionBar_background</item>
    <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/actionBar_background</item>
</style>

apply this style to TextInputLayout

Solution 10:^[10]

I used all of the above answers and none worked. This answer works for API 21+. Use app:hintTextColor attribute when text field is focused and app:textColorHint attribute when in other states. To change the bottmline color use this attribute app:boxStrokeColor as demonstrated below:

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
            app:boxStrokeColor="@color/colorAccent"
            app:hintTextColor="@color/colorAccent"
            android:textColorHint="@android:color/darker_gray"
    
       <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

It works for AutoCompleteTextView as well. Hope it works for you:)

Solution 11:^[11]

Works for me. If you trying EditText with Label and trying change to underline color use this. Change to TextInputEditText instead EditText.

           <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
                android:id="@+id/editTextTextPersonName3"
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_marginStart="@dimen/_16sdp"
                android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/_16sdp"
                android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/_16sdp"
                android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/_8sdp"
                android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/_8sdp"
                android:textColorHint="@color/white"
                app:layout_constraintEnd_toStartOf="@+id/guideline3"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

                <EditText
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="match_parent"
                    android:backgroundTint="@color/white"
                    android:hint="Lastname"
                    android:textSize="@dimen/_14sdp"
                    android:inputType="textPersonName"
                    android:textColor="@color/white"
                    android:textColorHint="@color/white" />
            </com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

Change line color of TextInputLayout + TextInputEditText

colors.xml

<color name="mtrl_textinput_default_box_stroke_color" tools:override="true">@color/lineColor</color>

styles.xml

<style name="TextInputLayout" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.FilledBox.Dense">
    <item name="boxStrokeColor">@color/lineColor</item>
    <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/hintColor</item>
    <item name="boxStrokeWidth">1dp</item>
    <item name="boxBackgroundColor">@color/backgroundColor</item>
</style>

<style name="TextInputEditText" parent="ThemeOverlay.MaterialComponents.TextInputEditText.FilledBox.Dense">
    <item name="android:textColor">@color/black</item>
</style>

layout.xml

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
            style="@style/TextInputLayout"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_width="match_parent">

            <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
                style="@style/TextInputEditText"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:inputType="text" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>

Solution 13:^[13]

You can change the label color of TextInputLayout by using app:hintTextAppearance attribute in TextInputLayout.

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
    android:id="@+id/inputlayout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:hintTextAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.App.TextInputLayout">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/mail"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
        android:hint="@string/email"
        android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
        android:maxLines="1"
        android:paddingStart="5dp"
        android:singleLine="true"/>

</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Style:

 <style name="TextAppearance.App.TextInputLayout" 
 parent="@android:style/TextAppearance">
        <item name="android:textColor">@android:color/black</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">20sp</item>
    </style>

To change edittext underline color, you can use android:backgroundTint

<EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:hint="Underline color change"
        android:backgroundTint="@android:color/holo_red_light" />

Solution 14:^[14]

I needed to change the bottom line color of a TextInputEditText inside a TextInputLayout and then the other answers didn't work out. I finally solved it by setting the colorOnSurface for the TextInputLayouts theme. I'll leave my code here in case it helps someone else.

XML:

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:theme=""@style/TextInputLayoutStyle"">

    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</com.google.android.material.te`tfield.TextInputLayout>

Style:

<style name="TextInputLayoutStyle">
    <item name="colorOnSurface">#0ff</item>
</style>

Solution 15:^[15]

Create style as mentioned below

<style name="text_input_layout_style">
        <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/primary</item>
        <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/primary</item>
        <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/primary</item>
</style>

and apply it to your TextInputLayout as android:theme="@style/text_input_layout_style"

And definitely will work for you all.
