Thank you for all the answers. I did It. I added a imageview on the EditText. Then I added a padding right on the edittext to the text not to cross the line. One more time, Thank you very much for all the answers.

As pointed by Collin, this is a compound view. All those buttons are not inside text box. You can consider a LinerLayout using horizontal orientation. Here goes the layout hierarchy:

LinearLayout  (horizontal orientation)
|
+- EditText (fill parent)
|
+- LinearLayout (vertical orientation, width-30dp, gravity-right)
   |
   +- TextView (show remaining chars)
   | 
   +- Button
   | 
   +- Button

Note: I am giving just an idea how you can layout views to achieve said goal. You might need to tweak a little.

What you actually want is a compound layout of your own construction. Something like:

red boxes are view children

One top level linear layout with the text view, a line drawable, and another LinearLayout which holds (vertically) the '160/1', the clip button, and the 'Enviar' button.
