Just to make the comments higher, clearer:
You must create the file in the drawings. for example: textinputborder.xml ..
Then add the following code for the shape and color of the frame to this file:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle"> <solid android:color="#00000000" /> <stroke android:width="2.5dp" android:color="#FFFFFF" /> <corners android:radius="5dp"/> </shape>
Then use this form to edit the text widget inside the activity XML file as needed:
<EditText android:id="@+id/searchBox" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="45dp" android:background="@drawable/textinputborder" android:hint="@string/Search" android:paddingLeft="10dp" android:inputType="textVisiblePassword" > </EditText>
