EditText widget in Android

Question

While developing for Android version 4.0 and later, I found that the EditText widget has been modified and the upper half of the textbox has disappeared. Well, that is the way later versions of Android OS represents EditText widget.

My question is, is there any way to get those Gingerbread style EditText in Android 4.0 and later versions? If yes then how to do it?

Answer 1

Apply background to EditText using xml or image by setting android:background tag in xml

Answer 2
