Change the color of the cursor android EditText

Question

I'm trying to change the green of the cursor into grey. But it stays green. Any ideas?

<EditText
    android:textCursorDrawable="@color/grey"
    android:backgroundTint="@android:color/black"/>

You can try to add this to your AppTheme in styles.xml but it will also change color of other EditText elements (cursor and bottom line).

<item name="colorControlActivated">@color/grey</item>
