title: Drop shadow around all the four sides of an EditText in Android Studio
body: <p>As far as my knowledge aids me, there isn't any property to drop shadow around an EditText field, that can be set in the layout file. I searched for the problem and found solution that I've to provide a custom background xml drawable.</p>
  <p>My drawable/background_with_shadow looks like this:</p>
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
  &lt;layer-lis xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot;&gt;
      &lt;item &gt;
          &lt;shape
              android:shape=&quot;rectangle&quot;&gt;
              &lt;solid android:color=&quot;@android:color/darker_gray&quot; /&gt;
              &lt;corners android:radius=&quot;5dp&quot;/&gt;
          &lt;/shape&gt;
      &lt;/item&gt;
      &lt;item android:right=&quot;1dp&quot; android:left=&quot;1dp&quot; android:bottom=&quot;2dp&quot;&gt;
          &lt;shape
              android:shape=&quot;rectangle&quot;&gt;
              &lt;solid android:color=&quot;@android:color/white&quot;/&gt;
              &lt;corners android:radius=&quot;5dp&quot;/&gt;
          &lt;/shape&gt;
      &lt;/item&gt;
  &lt;/layer-list&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>and I'm setting this property for my <code>LinearLayout</code> which contains an <code>EditText</code></p>
  <pre><code>&lt;LinearLayout
  android:layout_width=&quot;match_parent&quot;
  android:layout_height=&quot;match_parent&quot;
  android:background=&quot;@drawable/background_with_shadow&quot;&gt;
  &lt;EditText&gt;
  .
  .
  &lt;/EditText&gt;
  &lt;LinearLayout&gt;
  </code></pre>
  <p>However it just drops the shadow around the bottom and bottom corners.
  How would I do it for all the four sides and corners?</p>
  <p>I'm trying to achieve this:
