How to make drawable by layer-list

Question

I want to custom the edit text as below image

Currently, I am using a View with width = 1dp to trick for this case.
Actually it's a dirty approach so I want to make a drawable file by layer-list then add to background of EditText. It will look like:

______________ 

______________

On other hand, as Android Edit Text attribute we can use drawableTop and drawableBottom to add a divider ( just a shape line ) into.

My problem :
Method 1 -> I can not create a background with top and bottom as a line
Method 2 -> I have tried to use drawableTop but it does not show
