Answer 2

I had more or less the same problem. Here is my solution. =)

<style name="AppTheme" parent="android:Theme.Holo.Light">

            <item name="android:editTextStyle">@style/AppTheme.EditTextStyle</item>
            <item name="android:editTextBackground">@drawable/apptheme_edit_text_holo_dark</item>
        </style>

    <style name="AppTheme.EditTextStyle"  parent="@android:style/Widget.Holo.EditText">
        <item name="android:textSize">@dimen/etforlogin</item>
        <item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
        <item name="android:ellipsize">end</item>
        <item name="android:typeface">monospace</item>
    </style>

Answer 3

Add the style attribute in your EditText in your XML

<EditText
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    style="@android:style/Widget.Holo.EditText"/>

Answer 4

According to the Android developer site we are supposed to use the following theme for Activities that are displayed as a dialog if the Holo theme is desired:

<activity android:theme="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Dialog" >
