title: How to hide underbar in EditText
body: <p>How can I hide the EditText underbar (the prompt line with little serifs at the ends)?</p>
  
  <p>There might be a better way to do what I want:  I have a layout with an EditText.  Normally, this displays fine where the user can tap on it and begin entering or editing text.</p>
  
  <p>Sometimes, however, I would like to use the same layout (simplifies other logic) to display the same data in a read-only manner.  I want the presentation to be similar - it should have the same height and same font, but not have the underbar.</p>
  
  <p>As a stop-gap measure, I'm going to implement this by removing the EditText and substituting a TextView.  I think that will give the desired results, but it seems like a roundabout an expensive way to do something that ought to be easy to do by changing attributes.</p>
