android EditText blends into background

When I use my Android 3.2 tablet emulator, the EditText shape is almost impossible to se

The other answers weren't actually solutions to my problem and I never figured out what was REALLY causing the issue. However, this is how I solved it: My workaround was to copy the .9.pngs and styling for the EditText widget from Ice Cream Sandwich and hardcoded into my app for Honeycomb and Ice Cream Sandwich.

Then I created a style in my styles.xml to set:

@drawable/edit_text_holo_light

Then I copied the .9.png files from the android sdk and put them in res/drawable-*. The filenames are listed in the above xml.
