How to display Edittext in Android

Question

I have an EditText that looks like this:

When doing an action in the EditText the background is changed with the following code:

edtCampo.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);

Then another action is made and the EditText background is changed again with the following code:

edtCampo.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);

The problem is that in the EditText I do not see the line below, what property should I give to make it look like the first image ?

Try to use

int backgroundResource = 0;
if(redBackgroundNeeded){
    backgroundResource = R.color.red;
}
view.setBackgroundResource(backgroundResource);

No, the line below does not appear – Sergio Andres Moreno Herrera Dec 07 '17 at 23:19
I bet the problem is not in setting background or resource... – Andrey Busik Dec 07 '17 at 23:22
Don't you use some king of "holoeverywere" and initially set some 9patch image to textview to get the bottom line? – Andrey Busik Dec 07 '17 at 23:26
Also try to set some other color as a background. Yellow for example. Will the bottom line disappear when background will be set to Yellow or Transparent? – Andrey Busik Dec 07 '17 at 23:43

Try to use,

android:backgroundTint="@color/red"

To achieve pro-grammatically,

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {
    edt1.setBackgroundTintList(getResources().getColorStateList(R.color.red));
}

Result,
