        try {
            EditTextStyleHelper.applyChanges(this.searchEdit, this.textCursorColor, this.leftTextSelectorTint, this.rightTextSelectorTint, this.middleTextSelectorTint,
                    this.leftTextSelectorRes, this.rightTextSelectorRes, this.middleTextSelectorRes, this.textSelectorTintEnabled);
        } catch (EditTextStyleHelper.EditTextStyleChangeError e) {
            Log.e(TAG, "init: ", e);
        }
......

I guess the problem is here.

I have the same problem, too. mt_textCursorTint does not change the color, and it's alway white.

I managed to change via code

private var editText: EditText? = null

editText = etSearch.findViewById(R.id.mt_editText)

try { val f = TextView::class.java.getDeclaredField("mCursorDrawableRes") f.isAccessible = true f.set(editText, R.drawable.home_search_cursor); } catch (e: Exception) { }

home_search_cursor.xml

Fix for the issue! Create a xml file in drawable folders called color_cursor.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#ff000000" />
<size android:width="1dp" />

change the color in xml to whatever color you want for the cursor.
