I'm trying to make my disabled EditText's style like in guidelines:
https://www.google.com/design/spec/components/text-fields.html#text-fields-labels
<EditText
android:id="@+id/account_number"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/test_account"
android:enabled="false" />
I've already implemented material design styles, so all my widgets look material.
The question is: Is there any way to get this dotted underline using styles, without putting additional views?
My styles.xml
:
<style name="Theme.Main" parent="@style/Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="android:editTextStyle">@style/android:Widget.Material.EditText</item>
</style>
Finally I managed to do as you've shown, It looks like
![](https://www.manongdao.com/static/images/pcload.jpg)
Create dotted.xml
inside drawable
folder and paste these
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:bottom="1dp"
android:left="-2dp"
android:right="-2dp"
android:top="-2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="0.5dp"
android:color="@android:color/black" />
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#030310"
android:dashGap="5dp"
android:dashWidth="5dp" />
<padding
android:bottom="5dp"
android:left="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:top="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Then simply set the android:background
attribute to dotted.xml
we just created. Your EditText
looks like this.
<EditText
android:id="@+id/account_number"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="test account"
android:background="@drawable/dotted"
style="@style/Theme.Main" <!--Its your custom style-->
android:enabled="false" />
AFAIK, there is no "stock" way. Take the material design guidelines as it is, a guideline ;)
Finally I ended up with a custom view. It might be not the most elegant solution but it solves my task.
Hope it will be helpful for someone.

</LinearLayout>
