title: Change background color of edittext in android
body: <p>If I change the background color of my <code>EditText</code> using the below code, it looks like the box is shrunken and it doesn't maintain the ICS theme of a blue bottom border that exists for a default <code>EditText</code>.</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="fill_parent"
      android:background="#99000000"
      &gt;
      &lt;EditText
          android:id="@+id/id_nick_name"
          android:layout_marginTop="80dip"
          android:layout_width="fill_parent"
          android:layout_height="wrap_content"
          android:background="#ffffff"  
      /&gt;
      &lt;LinearLayout 
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
               android:layout_marginTop="10dip"
               android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
               android:layout_marginRight="20dip"
              android:orientation="horizontal"
              android:layout_below="@+id/id_nick_name"&gt;  
          &lt;Button 
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:text="add"
              android:layout_weight="1"
              /&gt;
           &lt;Button 
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:text="cancel"
              android:layout_weight="1"
              /&gt;
      &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
  &lt;/RelativeLayout&gt;
