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

An other option, you can create your own custom EditText like this :

class CustomEditText : androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatEditText {
    constructor(context: Context?) : super(context)
    constructor(context: Context?, attrs: AttributeSet?) : super(context, attrs)
    constructor(context: Context?, attrs: AttributeSet?, defStyleAttr: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr)

    private val paint = Paint()
    private val path = Path()

    init { // hide your underbar
        this.setBackgroundResource(android.R.color.transparent)

        // other init stuff...
    }

    override fun onDraw(canvas: Canvas?) {
        super.onDraw(canvas)

        // draw your canvas...
    }
}
