No cursor in EditText

Question

When I touch my EditText, the virtual keyboard opens and I can edit the text, but I have no cursor that tells me where the next char would be, and no blue rectangular shape that would tell me if I touched the EditText or what EditText was touched.

The code is:

 <EditText
        android:id="@+id/search_edit_text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="#FCFCFC"
        android:hint="\?"
        android:inputType="text"
        android:text=""
        android:textColor="#000000"
        android:textSize="24sp" />

What did I do wrong or what do I need to add?

I use @style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar theme. android:cursorVisible="true" didn't work and I have no usage for caret. — Ran, Sep 28 '16 at 14:16
If it interest anyone - following this [answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/38430075/715439) made the cursor visible. — Ran, Sep 28 '16 at 14:26

Setting the android:textCursorDrawable attribute to @null should result in the use of android:textColor as the cursor color.

it will work
