I would like to change the Orange border around a EditText. Like when the input is valid, I want it to become green.
However I do not seem to find a method to do this. Is it possible?

A:
It's not possible to change the orange border easily because it's actually a 9-patch - that is, the entire border + white background is a 9-patch that Android uses by default. It uses the android:background attribute to set it, too.
It would be possible to acquire a copy of the 9-patch (it will be in your SDK), edit the color to make it green, then in code configure it so that your 9-patch is set as the background of the EditText when the input is valid.

Also, bear in mind that the background really is a `StateListDrawable`, of which the orange-border nine-patch PNG is just one of the images for one of the states.
