How to hide underbar in EditText

Question

How can I hide the EditText underbar (the prompt line with little serifs at the ends)?

There might be a better way to do what I want: I have a layout with an EditTe

Answer 1

You can set the EditText to have a custom transparent drawable or just use

android:background="@android:color/transparent"

or

android:background="@null"

or Programmatically

editText.setBackgroundResource(android.R.color.transparent);
