AutoCompleteTextView weird behavior in LolliPop device

Question

I am using AutoCompleteTextView in my layout. But it colorControlNormal and Activate does not work as I expected.

My color value is #0072BA .

The figure below is for different devices.

1.) Android Kitkat

2.) Android LolliPop

3.) Android Marshmallow

The xml code I used is below

  <TextView android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textColor="@color/md_black_1000" android:layout_marginTop="5dp" android:textSize="15sp" android:text="Medical Store Name" android:textColorHint="#999999" android:layout_below="@+id/search_drug_store" android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView_storename" android:layout_marginLeft="15dp" android:layout_marginRight="10dp"/> <AutoCompleteTextView android:id="@+id/autoCompleteTextView1" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:ems="10" android:textSize="12sp" android:textColor="#999999" android:layout_below="@+id/autoCompleteTextView_storename" android:layout_marginLeft="25dp" android:inputType="textNoSuggestions" android:layout_marginRight="10dp"/> 

I don't give any AutoCompleteTextView style, and then why is this happening?

What I tried:

If I give this style

Reference to the reference material:

http://www.materialdoc.com/autocomplete-view/

and enter this style

  <style name="Autocomplete" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Light.AutoCompleteTextView"> <item name="android:background">@color/green500</item> <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/amber500</item> <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/cyan500</item> </style> 

But nothing has changed in Lollipop.

Is this a bug in the lollipop version or am I something wrong?

Answer 1

this is actually not a solution to this problem, but you can use it for a unique design throughout the device. I implemented for edittext like this in xml, set the background value to null for edittext and add a horizontal line below edittext.

  <EditText android:id="@+id/newPasswordEditText" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:background="@null" android:textColor="@color/color_black" android:inputType="textPassword" android:layout_marginBottom="10dp" android:hint="Enter New Password" android:layout_marginTop="10dp" android:textSize="14sp" android:layout_below="@+id/titleTextView" /> <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/linearLayout2" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="2dp" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_marginBottom="7dp" android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin" android:layout_below="@+id/newPasswordEditText" android:background="@color/color_standard_green" />

There is no error in the lollipop version, you simply do not redefine the theme style with your own style, use fooobar.com/questions/26491 / ... in this way
