Question

I have an EditText control in my application and when it is focused (i.e. I’m ready to enter something) I want to apply shadow color to it. How can I do this?

Thanks,

You can use the Selector tag like Follows:
Create a New xml file and place it in your drawable folder and name it as shadow_color.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="@drawable/ask_footer"/>
    <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/askfooter_hover" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ask_footer" />
</selector> 

And then go to that xml in which your EditText is declared:
And write one attribute in editText

android:background=”@drawable/shadow_color”
and you are done.
