You can achieve somethin like that by doing this way,

    <RelativeLayout android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:id="@+id/myLayout1" android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <EditText android:text="EditText" android:id="@+id/editText1" android:layout_marginTop="5dp" 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        </EditText>

        <TextView android:text="TextView" android:id="@+id/textView3" android:layout_marginLeft="10dp" android:textColor="#000000" android:background="#FFFFFF"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content">
        </TextView>

    </RelativeLayout>

I think using android:hint is also useful to place some text relevant to edit text.

But, it will show the text only when the edit text is empty and also inside the edit text, but not as you shown here.

I think the layout you shown here may take more time to implement.
