Change background of EditText's error message

What I want to do is change the background color (set custom drawable) of a popup error message displayed after using setError() method.

Currently, it looks like this:

I've found that Android has two files:

• popup_inline_error.9.png
• popup_inline_above_error.9.png

And you're supposed to be able to set them using two attributes:

• errorMessageBackground
• errorMessageAboveBackground

But when I try to set them in my theme, all I get is:

<item name="errorMessageBackground">@drawable/popup_inline_error_holo_light</item>
<item name="errorMessageAboveBackground">@drawable/popup_inline_error_above_holo_light</item>

error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name: attr 'errorMessageBackground'.

(it's the same with android:errorMessageBackground)

I'm putting this question here, cause I've run out of ideas - maybe someone already managed to do that?

EDIT: Header of the Theme I'm using:

<resources xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <style
        name="Theme.MyThemeName"
        parent="@style/Theme.Sherlock.Light">

ANOTHER EDIT: Uh, I've found that my question is a duplicate of: android:errorMessageBackground getting no resource found error in styles.xml

YET ANOTHER EDIT: This is a known problem, take a look at this link: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=55879
