Use below code to change background color of edit-text's border.

Create new XML file under drawable.

abc.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <solid android:color="#00000000" />
    <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>

and add it as background of your edit-text

android:background="@drawable/abc"

This works fine for old and new version of Android  works fine even on API 10     Define this style in your styles xml    lt style name  EditText Login  parent  Widget AppCompat EditText  gt       lt item name  android textColor  gt  android color white lt  item gt       lt item name  android textColorHint  gt  android color darker gray lt  item gt       lt item name  colorAccent  gt  color blue lt  item gt       lt item name  colorControlNormal  gt  color blue lt  item gt       lt item name  colorControlActivated  gt  color blue lt  item gt   lt  style gt    And now in your XML  set this as theme and style  style to set textColor  and theme to set all other things     lt EditText     android layout width  match parent      android layout height  wrap content      android inputType  text      style   style EditText Login      android theme   style EditText Login   gt      Edit  This solution causes a tiny UI glitch on newer Android versions  Lollipop or Marshmallow onwards  that the selection handles are underlined   This issue is discussed in this thread   I haven t tried this solution personally

you can change Underline of EditText color specifying it in styles xml  In your app theme styles xml add the following    lt item name  android textColorSecondary  gt  color primary text color lt  item gt     As pointed out by ana in comment section     lt item name  android colorControlActivated  gt  color black lt  item gt    setting this in theme style works well for changing color of an edittext underline

You can do it with AppCompatEditText and color selector               lt androidx appcompat widget AppCompatEditText                 android layout width  quot match parent quot                  android layout height  quot wrap content quot                  app backgroundTint  quot  color selector edittext underline quot    gt   selector edittext underline xml   lt selector xmlns android  quot http   schemas android com apk res android quot  gt       lt item android color  quot  color focused color quot             android state focused  quot true quot    gt       lt item android color  quot  color hint color quot    gt   lt  selector gt   NOTE  Put this selector file in res color folder  not res drawable  ususually res color does not exist and we may have to create it

If you don t have to support devices with API  lt  21  use backgroundHint in xml  for example     lt EditText             android layout width  match parent              android layout height  wrap content              android inputType  textPersonName              android hint  Task Name              android ems  10              android id    id task name              android layout marginBottom  15dp              android textAlignment  center              android textColor   android color white               android textColorLink   color blue              android textColorHint   color blue              android backgroundTint   color lighter blue    gt    For better support and fallbacks use  Akariuz solution  backgroundHint is the most painless solution  but not backward compatible  based on your requirements make a call
