Changing tint color of Android EditText programmatically

With the newly introduced android.support.v4.graphics.drawable.DrawableCompat#setTint setting the color is now possible.

This works for me:

editText.getBackground().setColorFilter(getResources().getColor(R.color.your_color),
                                        PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
