Xamarin Forms - Change cursor colour and bottom border using XAML

Question

I want to change the colour of the cursor and the bottom border of an Entry field using XAML. (It is pink in colour at the moment). Changing the font colour didn't help and I can't see anything informative in the IntelliSense either. Can someone please tell me how to do this in XAML? Thank you.

<Entry
    x:Name="editorEmailAddress"
    TextColor="Purple" />

In Android, it shows in pink.

@Alex Do you mean the styles.xml file in Xamarin.Android project? Can you please tell me how to do it, if it's not possible to do using XAML? — Curiosity, Jul 07 '17 at 14:59

Changing the colorAccent value in styles.xml (in Xamarin.Android project) will change the colour of the cursor and the bottom border of an Entry field.

<item name="colorAccent">#BA55D3</item>

I used #800080 in Xamarin Forms 4.7 to accomplish this. – chri3g91 Jul 31 '20 at 13:20
