If you want to change the looks of EditText when certain events like onFocus, onPressed too place, then you will need Selector.

Selector is a drawable and is implemented as xml file, the elements in selector files will refer to specific state. Each Element maps to a specific state.

To change the look and feel of UI components, you can use background, src attributes,etc.

and this link is just the one thats needed.

1- create selector for different state 

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="true" android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_default" />
  <item android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="false" android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_disabled" />
  <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_pressed" />
  <item android:state_enabled="true" android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_selected" />
  <item android:state_enabled="true" android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_default" />
  <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_disabled_selected" />
  <item android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_disabled" />
</selector>

2- To apply the customize drawable xml use the android:backgroung attibute of the EditText

android:background="@drawable/yourXml"
