Override the attribute pointing to the EditText
style(named editTextStyle
🙂 ) in your custom theme:
<style name="App_Theme" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo">
<item name="android:editTextStyle">@style/App_EditTextStyle</item>
</style>
and make your custom style to extend Widget.EditText
:
<style name="App_EditTextStyle" parent="@android:style/Widget.EditText">
<item name="android:background">@drawable/filled_roundededges_box_dark</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#808080</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">45dip</item>
</style>
Edit:
If you’re using the much newer AppCompat related themes use the editTextStyle attribute without the android prefix:
<style name="App_Theme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.DarkActionBar">
<item name="editTextStyle">@style/App_EditTextStyle</item>
</style>
