EditText selected text range pointer got strange background

EditText style

    <style name="MyEditTextStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.EditText">
            <item name="android:textCursorDrawable">@null</item>
            <item name="android:textColor">@color/color_states_blackish</item>
            <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/sfd_medium</item>
            <item name="android:background">@drawable/edit_white_gray_x_normal_rounded</item>
            <item name="android:height">@dimen/general_view_height</item>
        </style>

Dialog style

 <style name="MyAlertDialogTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.Dialog.Alert">
        <item name="buttonBarNegativeButtonStyle">@style/NegativeButtonStyle</item>
        <item name="buttonBarPositiveButtonStyle">@style/PositiveButtonStyle</item>
    </style>
    <style name="NegativeButtonStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Button.ButtonBar.AlertDialog">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/text_color_blackish</item>
        <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/sfd_regular</item>
    </style>

    <style name="PositiveButtonStyle" parent="Widget.AppCompat.Button.ButtonBar.AlertDialog">
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/text_color_blackish</item>
        <item name="android:fontFamily">@font/sfd_bold</item>
    </style>

Dialog code

final EditText editText = new EditText(new android.view.ContextThemeWrapper(getContext(),R.style.MyEditTextStyle));
                        final FrameLayout layout = new FrameLayout(getContext());
                        int padding = getContext().getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.standard_wall_space);
                        int paddingView = getContext().getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.standard_view_space);
                        layout.setPadding(padding,paddingView,padding,paddingView);
                        layout.addView(editText);
                        editText.setHint(R.string.type_here);
                        new AlertDialog.Builder(getContext(),R.style.MyAlertDialogTheme)
                        .setTitle("Enter Your Unit")
                        .setView(layout)
                        .setPositiveButton("Add", (dialog, whichButton) -> {
                            String value = editText.getText().toString();
                            MyApp.showToast("Unit-"+value);
                        })
                        .setNegativeButton("Cancel", null).show();

What I got following kind of pointers with background same as EditText, I remove them ContextThemeWrapper then It shows correctly but I need change the background using style?, Why is this happening? This is dialog inside fullscreen dialog? Any solution? Thanks

Additional to other answers here, it also occurs when we set background in the app theme in style.xml. Another solution I found was to replace android:background with android:backgroundTint of the background color and set android:backgroundTintMode to multiple.

Put this in styles:

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
    ...
    <item name="android:backgroundTint">#FFFFFF</item>
    <item name="android:backgroundTintMode">multiply</item>
</style>

or in the view tag whose background color you want to change:

<View
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:backgroundTint="#FFFFFF"
    android:backgroundTintMode="multiply" />

Looks like bugg, selector popup window get wrong background style, Don't use ContextThemeWrapper, style then it shows normally, set background programmatically.

 final EditText editText = new EditText(getContext());
editText.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.edit_white_gray_x_normal_rounded);
editText.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(getContext(),R.color.color_states_blackish));

The problem is that the android:background parameter in your theme is applied to everything inside the EditText. For me the solution was in removing that parameter from the style.
