Styling EditText view with shape drawable to look similar to new holographic theme for Android < 3.0

by

It’s a little hack, but unless you find something better, this way it should be possible.

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

  <!-- main color -->
  <item android:bottom="1.5dp"
      android:left="1.5dp"
      android:right="1.5dp">
      <shape >
          <solid android:color="@color/background" />
      </shape>
  </item>

  <!-- draw another block to cut-off the left and right bars -->
  <item android:bottom="15.0dp">
      <shape >
          <solid android:color="@color/background" />
      </shape>
  </item>
</layer-list>
