EditText custom style does not display

Question

I'm trying to apply my custom style to EditText, but it's not working.

@drawable/edit_text_background:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle"/>
    <solid android:color="@color/background"/>
</shape>

styles.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar" />

    <style name="editText" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText">
        <item name="colorControlNormal">@color/black</item>
        <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/yellow_button</item>
        <item name="colorControlHighlight">@color/purple_button</item>
        <item name="background">@drawable/edit_text_background</item>
    </style>
</resources>

themes.xml:

<resources xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools">
<style name="CrossyTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat">
    <item name="editTextStyle">@style/editText</item>
</style>
</resources>

and my EditText in sign_up_activity.xml:

<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText
    android:id="@+id/emailEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:layout_marginLeft="45dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="45dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
    android:textColor="@color/black"
    android:hint="@string/email"
    android:textColorHint="@color/hints"
    android:fontFamily="@font/regular"
    android:textColorHighlight="@color/purple_button"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
    style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.EditText"
    />

And no matter what, this EditText widget still has default style! What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

Yes, you are actually applying the default style here:

<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText
    android:id="@+id/emailEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:layout_marginLeft="45dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="45dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
    android:textColor="@color/black"
    android:hint="@string/email"
    android:textColorHint="@color/hints"
    android:fontFamily="@font/regular"
    android:textColorHighlight="@color/purple_button"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
    style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.EditText"
    />

The right thing to do is:

<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText
    android:id="@+id/emailEditText"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:gravity="left"
    android:layout_marginLeft="45dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="45dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="50dp"
    android:textColor="@color/black"
    android:hint="@string/email"
    android:textColorHint="@color/hints"
    android:fontFamily="@font/regular"
    android:textColorHighlight="@color/purple_button"
    android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
    style="@style/editText"
    />

Well, I found out that problem was in themes (I didn't make it right). Check your theme in manifest if you have the same problem!
