Problem with EditText background (android)

Question

I have a problem with EditText background like this

Answer 1

As I think you should change background Color, not the background. Because it's using xml custom shape.

• A drawable to use as the background. This can be either a reference to a full drawable resource (such as a PNG image, 9-patch, XML state list description, etc), or a solid color such as #ff000000 (black).

• May be a reference to another resource, in the form @[+][package:]type:name or to a theme attribute in the form ?[package:][type:]name.

• May be a color value, in the form of #rgb, #argb, #rrggbb, or #aarrggbb.
