simple and effective solution

Create inside res/color folder textcolorselector.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:color="#FFF"/>
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:color="#000"/>
    <item android:color="#000"/>
</selector>

now in editext.

  <EditText

        android:textColor="@color/textcolorselector">

        <requestFocus />

    </EditText>

Simply you can create a focus changed listener as a global variable. 

View.OnFocusChangeListener listener = new View.OnFocusChangeListener() {
            @Override
            public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
                ((EditText) v).setTextColor(hasFocus ? Color.BLACK : Color.WHITE);
            }
        };

Now set that listener to the edittext you create on your listview.

editText.setOnFocusChangeListener(listener);

So when you are in the edittext, its color will be black and when you leave the edittext the color will be changed to white and the next edittext focused will become black.

You can use TextWatcher

Example

    yourEditText.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher()
    {
        @Override
        public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int count, int after)
        {
            //do stuff
        }

        @Override
        public void onTextChanged(CharSequence s, int start, int before, int count)
        { 
           //do stuff
        }

        @Override
        public void afterTextChanged(Editable s)
        { 
            //do stuff
        }
    });

Try This

etEmail.addTextChangedListener(new TextWatcher() {
            @Override
            public void beforeTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {
                etEmail.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.colorPrimary));
            }

            @Override
            public void onTextChanged(CharSequence charSequence, int i, int i1, int i2) {

            }

            @Override
            public void afterTextChanged(Editable editable) {
                etEmail.setBackgroundColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getApplicationContext(), R.color.defaultColor));
            }
        });
