Since I was using 

EditText et=new EditText(this);
locationEditText.setBackgroundDrawable(et.getBackground());

but setBackgroundDrawable(Drwable) is deprecated in Api 16 as can't use setBackground(Drwable) since it was added in api 16 and I'm using earlier versions than that

So the only two functions left to me

are: setBackgroundColor(int color) and setBackgroundResource(int resid)

So how to set it to the default EditText in Holo Light Theme?

Use setBackground(Drawable drawable) that do the same job of setBackgroundDrawable(Drwable).

edit: thx to Warpzit for this code (source):

EditText et=new EditText(this);

int sdk = android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT;
if(sdk < android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN) {
    setBackgroundDrawable(et.getBackground());
} else {
    setBackground(et.getBackground());
}

  • i'm sorry but i don't understand: _Still the issue of how to set the background of the EditText in latest versions 16+ Apis to Holo Default EditText Theme_. My code should work with just a warning advice. – Roberto Lombardini Aug 07 '13 at 10:53

This may help you

<EditText
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    style="@android:style/Widget.Holo.EditText"/>

My suggestion is to create a template layout xml file for edittext with the style you need assigned and inflate it when you need it in code. in XML

Use this in code:

EditText et = (EditText )getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.edtemplate, null);
