How to change editText hint postion

Can I change "hint" and text position (to rise it to the center)

enter image description here

My xml as follows:

    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:id="@+id/layoutTopBlue"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="30dp"
              android:background="#4285F4"
              android:layout_below="@id/layoutTopBlack"
        >
    <EditText
            android:id="@+id/editText1"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:text=''
            android:hint="my hint"
            android:textColorHint="#FFFFFF"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
            android:background="@drawable/edit"
            />
    <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView1"
            android:layout_width="30dp"
            android:layout_height="30dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/editText1"
            android:src="@drawable/search"
            />
    <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView1"
            android:layout_width="30dp"
            android:layout_height="30dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:layout_centerVertical="true"
            android:layout_alignRight="@+id/editText1"
            android:src="@drawable/cross"
            />
</RelativeLayout>

Or maybe it is possible to do something with drawable editText:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
    <shape >
        <solid android:color="@color/editBorder" />
    </shape>
</item>

<!-- main color -->
<item android:bottom="1.5dp"
      android:left="1.5dp"
      android:right="1.5dp">
    <shape >
        <solid android:color="@color/editBackground" />
    </shape>
</item>

<!-- draw another block to cut-off the left and right bars -->
<item android:bottom="5.0dp">
    <shape >
        <solid android:color="@color/editBackground" />
    </shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

Any ideas please? Thanks!

If you need to change the position of edit text. In Graphical layout :- place the cursor in text(hint) and right click ,Layout height -> other -> then set the custom layout attribute value( example :50dp) I think this will work .To rise it in center you can change this value to 30dp or 50dp. or Change this line in Edit text :-

   android:layout_height="wrap_content" to android:layout_height="50dp"

1) hind text in left of the edittext

<EditText
     android:gravity="left"
/>

enter image description here

2) hind text in center of the edittext

<EditText
     android:gravity="center"
/>

enter image description here

3) hind text in right of the edittext

<EditText
     android:gravity="right"
/>
