I need to change the color of this pink stuff. I'm not sure if that's a cursor or not. My theory is that it's based on the device preferences. When I tried showing that stuff in other app in my simulator, they are in different colors.

enter image description here

What I did:

  1. Searching on SO, but to no avail.

  2. Changed this attribute. - the blinking cursor was the only thing affected by this property.

Its not an cursor it an cursor pointer color so you can change that pointer color by means of changing the theme

ColorAccent :

<style name="EditTextColorCustom" parent="@style/AppBaseTheme">
    <!-- Customize your theme here. -->
    <item name="colorAccent">@color/colorAccent</item>//your color here
</style>

Step2:

In your styles.xml put like this:

<item name="colorAccent">@color/reddish</item>
