What is the small graphic displayed under an EditText called and how can I remove it?

After some pretty thorough googling I still cannot figure out what the the little graphic that's displayed under the text in and EditText View is called. I would also like to remove it either using XML or programmatically. The little graphic is the thing under the cursor in this image: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UAuOq0h4Vok/T8reinvaWPI/AAAAAAAABPc/N4yibXd3kZg/s1600/android%2Bedittext%2Btext%2Bchange%2Blistener%2Bexample.jpg . Sorry if this is a dumb question, but without the name of this little graphic feature I can't seem to find out anything about it.

It is the background drawable associated with the edittext. You can change it by manually setting the background to something yourself, such as 

<EditText
   android:background="@android:color/transparent" 
   ...
   />

Try this..

<EditText  
      android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
      android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
      android:hint="@string/hello" 
      android:background="#00000000"
      />

if you want transparancy just put 80 before the actual hash code.

#80000000

This will change any colour you want to transparent one.. :)
