Answer 1

I found a solution for these:

text.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">


    <item >
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#000000" />           
        </shape>
    </item>

   
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#000000" />   
        </shape>
    </item>

    <item android:bottom="3px" android:left="3px">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />           
        </shape>
    </item> 
</layer-list>

main.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >



<EditText
    android:id="@+id/editText1"
    android:background="@drawable/text"
    android:layout_width="170dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
    android:ems="10"
    android:gravity="center_horizontal"
   
    android:padding="2dp"
    android:password="true" />

</RelativeLayout>

Expected Output:

Without using external images we can get a output with the help of drawable text.xml

Answer 2

Using a drawable this should work :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" >
    <solid android:color="#ffffff" />
    <stroke
        android:width="1dp"
        android:color="#555555" />
</shape>
