Autocompletetextview Dropdownselector

I have an AutoCompleteTextView component and I want to change its default drop down selector to another color. First I tried: android:dropDownSelector='#FF400000', but it caused no

Solution 1:

Theme's and styles are different by intent. And use different attributes. Theme define style for different widgets. Style define the widgets itself. Theme's are applied to application or activities.

1) If you want it to be for just one widget.

You need to go to /platforms//res/values/values.xml, find out how styles is defined for your widget (AutoCompleteTextView). Pick up required attribute. Define the same selector like in system but with your modifications. And you can even find out the selector in /res/drawable

2) If you want to be it all over the application:

a)You need to go to /platforms//res/values/themes.xml

b) There you can find out which style are in the theme you chose for AutoCompleteTextViewb

<itemname="autoCompleteTextViewStyle">
             @android:style/Widget.AutoCompleteTextView
        </item>

c) Then got to res/values/styles.xml

d) There you can find out the style for widget.

e) Then you need to extend theme. And override autoCompleteTextViewStyle attribute by your new created style like in 1 option.

Solution 2:

Try remove background from your views, which generated by adapter. That has helped me.
