Thank you, Justin.
I tried to play with onMeasure and onLayout methods. I've reviewed source code of TextView and it seems that bounds of background can't be changed: public void draw(Canvas canvas) { ... background.setBounds(0, 0, mRight - mLeft, mBottom - mTop); ... } I agree with you that it doesn't make sense try to do this within EditText. And it is really makes development much faster if you "Do the simplest thing that could possibly work." Many Thanks !
