The cursor color is based on the primary color of the app. You will need to create a style sheet and add it to your TextInputLayout view.
You can override the app's primary color in this way -
[a] If you want to change only cursor color-
Use -

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout                
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppTheme.TextInputEditText.Outlined"
....>

with the style.xml file -

<style name="ThemeOverlay.AppTheme.TextInputEditText.Outlined" parent="">
<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/...</item>

[b] If you want to change the color of your EditText and Cursor both -

with this style.xml file -

<style name="ThemeOverlay.AppTheme.TextInputEditText.Outlined" parent="">
    <item name="colorPrimary">@color/red</item>
</style>

  • It's not working. If I give theme as you given in Layout it's outline property is gone. – Gokul May 28 '21 at 02:51

  • @Gokul You can update your style.xml file with this `` Check out the updated answer. – paul035 May 28 '21 at 08:35
  • I think you didn't get me. Cursor colour problem is solved. Refer second image. In that i need to change the Yes and No button's colour into black. – Gokul May 28 '21 at 08:44
  • I guess they depend on app's primaryColor try changing the primary color in your colors.xml file. – paul035 May 28 '21 at 08:46
  • No dude it's not working. I tried with Primary colour and PrimaryDark also. But got same result – Gokul May 28 '21 at 08:49

    Found a solution of it. Button positive = alertDialog.getButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_POSITIVE); positive.setTextColor(Color.BLACK); Button negative = alertDialog.getButton(DialogInterface.BUTTON_NEGATIVE); negative.setTextColor(Color.BLACK); – Gokul May 28 '21 at 08:55
