Android: EditText displayed with black background

I have a row with two EditTexts and two ImageButtons. In the preview of android studio everything looks fine and the EditTexts have the default style. But if I display it on my tablet the background is black.

How it should look like:
enter image description here

How it looks like on the tablet:
enter image description here

Other EditText-Boxes are displayed correctly. Does anyone know why the these look different and how I can fix it?

Here the XML-Layout of this line:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    >
<EditText
    android:id="@+id/first_input"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    />
<EditText
    android:id="@+id/second_input"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_weight="2.4"
    />
<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/first_button"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="0.3"
    android:src="@drawable/move"
    android:background="@drawable/first_button_background"
    android:onClick="onFirstButtonClicked"
    />
<ImageButton
    android:id="@+id/second_button"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="0.3"
    android:src="@drawable/trash"
    android:background="@drawable/second_button_background"
    android:onClick="onSecondButtonClicked"
    />
</LinearLayout>

EDIT: I tried changing the background color to white but then the EditTexts lose their whole style so also the underlining will not be displayed anymore.

May be your tab does not support the selected theme, try to change background color of your edittext using:

android:background="#FFFFFF"

if problem does not solve, then you can change background of edittext programmatically like this:

youeEditText.setBackgroundColor(Color.parseColor("#ffffff"));

this's because the editext default background change based on device theme go for an edittext with custom background and in a simple way include android:background="#ffffff" for your editexts
