TextInput cursor color

[davepaiva]

Is there any way we can change the cursor colour using any props from the TextInput component from this library?
I have seen posts where we can change the colour by specifying colours in android/app/src/main/res/values/styles.xml etc.
But this is not ideal for me as I require different colours in different places .
react-native version 0.61.5
react-native-paper version 4.9.1
react-native-vector-icons version 8.1.0
Thanks.

Couldn't find version numbers for the following packages in the issue:

• react-native
• react-native-paper
• react-native-vector-icons

Can you update the issue to include version numbers for those packages? The version numbers must match the format 1.2.3.

Hey! Thanks for opening the issue. The issue doesn't seem to contain a link to a repro (a snack.expo.io link or link to a GitHub repo under your username).

Can you provide a minimal repro which demonstrates the issue? A repro will help us debug the issue faster. Please try to keep the repro as small as possible and make sure that we can run it without additional setup.

You can change the caret color along with selection color using prop selectionColor on mobile platform.

@davepaiva this is a React Native bug. See facebook/react-native#30283. selectionColor will style the selection cursors but not the caret. To style the caret you can do it as you say with styles.xml. It looks to me that this PR facebook/react-native#31007 might solve the issue... You can try using patch-package.

Unfortunately, selectionColor just changes the bg colour of the selected text and not the cursor
