Easy way(For API level>=21)

<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.NoActionBar">

    <item name="colorControlActivated">@color/your_cursor_color</item>
</style>

Better way(For all API levels)

1.Define android:textCursorDrawable in your layout

<EditText  
    android:layout_width="match_parent" 
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:textCursorDrawable="@drawable/color_cursor"
    />

2.Create a cursor in drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <size android:width="2.5dp" />
    <solid android:color="color_cursor"  />
</shape>
