I declare style res / values ​​/ styles.xml

<style name="EditTextTheme" > <item name="android:textCursorDrawable">@null</item> <item name="android:textColor">@color/yellow</item> <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/greyBack</item> <item name="android:background">@color/green</item> <item name="android:textSize">18sp</item> </style>

I specify this style in EditText:

 <com.group.improve.improvegrouptestproject.ImpGroupEditText android:hint="@string/si_username_edit_text" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:maxLength="20" android:theme="@style/EditTextTheme" android:id="@+id/si_et_username" android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/top_margin" android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/rigth_margin" android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/left_margin" />

This code works on new versions of Android, on older (for example 4.2.2 Moto X) styles do not work. How to make it work on older versions?

To work on older versions, you must also prescribe the style as the value of the style attribute:

 style="@style/EditTextTheme"
