I'm using TextField widget in AppBar()

there is one problem , as you can see I cannot set cursor color when textfield focused

usually, textfield cursor blinks when it focused.

enter image description here

I set cursor color property , every color property in appbar, textfield but it doesn't work even textfield hint text doens't work too.

            appBar: AppBar(
              title: Card(
                margin: EdgeInsets.only(
                    top: common_gap * 1.5, bottom: common_gap * 1.5),
                child: TextField(
                  cursorColor: Constants.kPrimaryOrange,
                  controller: _controller,
                  focusNode: _focusNode,
                  onChanged: (value) {
                    setState(() {
                      _searchText = value;
                    });
                  },
                  decoration: InputDecoration(
                    prefixIcon: Icon(
                      Icons.search,
                      size: 20,
                    ),
                    suffixIcon: _controller.text.length != 0
                        ? IconButton(
                            icon: Icon(
                              Icons.cancel,
                              size: 20,
                              color: _searchText == ''
                                  ? Colors.transparent
                                  : Colors.black87,
                            ),
                            onPressed: () {
                              setState(() {
                                _controller.clear();
                                _searchText = '';
                                _focusNode.unfocus();
                              });
                            },
                          )
                        : Container(),
                  ),

                ),

You can change specific textfield cursor color for your solution:

TextField(cursorColor: Colors.white)

but if you want to change it for all out you project then you can check this here

There are two ways to do that

First Approach

Assign color directly to individual TextField or TextFormField

TextFormField(
  cursorColor: Colors.green,)

Second Approach

Assign cursor color throughout the application using TextSelectionThemeData

MaterialApp(
      debugShowCheckedModeBanner: false,
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.green,
        textSelectionTheme: TextSelectionThemeData(
          cursorColor: Colors.green
        ),
      ),
      home: LoginScreen(),
    )

Output:

Can you add it in the materialapp on the main.dart page. and would you stop the application and run it again.

MaterialApp(
 title: "App Name",
 theme: ThemeData(
  // for iOS
  cupertinoOverrideTheme: CupertinoThemeData(
    primaryColor: Constants.kPrimaryOrange,
  ),
   // for others Android
  cursorColor: Constants.kPrimaryOrange,
home: HomePage(),
 ),
);
