Android java how to make a edit text transparent but the text still visible?

How can i make a EditText box invisiable but the text still visiable

<E开发者_运维知识库ditText android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:visibility="invisible" android:text="TestttttttttttttttttTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/editText1" android:layout_above="@+id/trait1" android:layout_alignParentLeft="true" android:layout_marginBottom="78dp">
        <requestFocus></requestFocus>
    </EditText>

is my code but android:visibility="invisible" makes it all invisible

Instead of below code

android:visibility="invisible"

use this code

android:background="#00ffffff"

android:background="@null"

or

android:background="@android:color/transparent"

if you want to make a view semi-transparent then use this code

android:background="#80ffffff"

try it.. write it on onCreate();

EditText.setBackgroundColor(Color.TRANSPARENT);
