Create a drawable background.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <solid android:color="@android:color/very_light_grey"/>
    <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="@color/grey"/>
</shape>

Change your edittext to

<EditText
  android:background="@drawable/background"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:paddingLeft="60dp"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'color' with value '@android:color/ very_light_grey'). – osimer pothe May 10 '16 at 06:20
add colors with name your_background_color to your colors.xml file and change it to @colors/your_background_color. – Ankit Aggarwal May 10 '16 at 06:23

Its basically goes with android version of the device.Earlier version of android EditText has somewhat similar kind look as you looking for. But with latest you will get line. I would like suggest go change edit text theme or background to serve your purpose.
