android custom EditText UI

To apply the customize drawable xml use the android:backgroung attibute of the EditText

For example android:background="@drawable/yourXml"


You can customize the way the default EditText is drawn by creating an XML file in the 'Drawable' folder and mentioning in code how you want it to look. Sample given below:

<selector><item android:state_pressed="true">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <gradient android:startColor="#40FFE600"
            android:centerColor="#60FFE600" android:endColor="#90FFE600"
            android:angle="270" android:centerX="0.5" android:centerY="0.5" />
        <stroke android:width="5dp" android:color="#50FF00DE" />
        <corners android:radius="7dp" />
        <padding android:left="10dp" android:top="6dp" android:right="10dp"
            android:bottom="6dp" />
    </shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true">
    <shape>
        <gradient android:startColor="#40CB1759"
            android:centerColor="#60CB1759" android:endColor="#90CB1759"
            android:angle="270" android:centerX="0.5" android:centerY="0.5" />

        <corners android:radius="7dp" />
        <padding android:left="10dp" android:top="6dp" android:right="10dp"
