How Do You Change the Selected EditText Field Color?

[jon21569]

I am loading a EditText object through a xml file. When it is selected the default color for the boarder is orange. How can it be changed to a different color such as black, blue or red. Here is the xml code.

<EditText android:id="@+id/textbox"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:maxLines="1"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
