Xamarin.Forms – change cursor’s color – Android

By bence960206

This code (https://github.com/officialdoniald/Xamarin.Forms.CustomControls/blob/master/XamarinForms.CustomControls/XamarinForms.CustomControls.Android/CustomRenderer/CustomEntryRenderer.cs ) :

IntPtr IntPtrtextViewClass = JNIEnv.FindClass(typeof(TextView));

IntPtr mCursorDrawableResProperty = JNIEnv.GetFieldID(IntPtrtextViewClass, “mCursorDrawableRes”, “I”);

will change the cursor’s color. If you want to really change the color of the cursor, you have to create in the Resources/Drawable folder a my_cursor.xml file: https://github.com/officialdoniald/Xamarin.Forms.CustomControls/blob/master/XamarinForms.CustomControls/XamarinForms.CustomControls.Android/Resources/drawable/my_cursor.xml

<shape xmlns:android=”http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android” android:shape=”rectangle”>
<solid android:color=”@color/colorCursors”></solid>

<size android:width=”2dp” />

</shape>

@color/colorCursors is a color from the Resources/values/color.xml. If you don’t have this file, just create it: https://github.com/officialdoniald/Xamarin.Forms.CustomControls/blob/master/XamarinForms.CustomControls/XamarinForms.CustomControls.Android/Resources/values/colors.xml

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<resources>

<color name=”launcher_background”>#FFFFFF</color>

<color name=”colorPrimary”>#3F51B5</color>

<color name=”colorPrimaryDark”>#303F9F</color>

<color name=”colorAccent”>#FF4081</color>

<color name=”colorCursors”>#000000</color>

</resources>

<color name=”colorCursors”>#000000</color> here can you gain the color of the cursor.
