    Hello,

    This blog will help you to change the cursor color of Android EditText View by creating custom XML file under app's drawable folder.

    By using following steps you can do it.

    Step-1 Create a custom xml file custom_edit_text.xml under res/drawable folder

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:shape="rectangle" >
      <size 
        android:width="2dip" />
      <solid
        android:color="@color/green" />
    </shape>

     

    Step-2 Add  attribute android:textCursorDrawable to your EditText view .

    <EditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="top"
    
        android:textCursorDrawable="@drawable/custom_edit_text"
    </EditText>

    Note:- This used attribute work only for Android API level 12 and higher
