Thanks, but I wasn't referring to B4XFloatTextField.

I found the solution, and I apologize for posting before trying everything possible. It just came to my mind a little bit late:

B4X:

    Dim cd As ColorDrawable
    cd.Initialize2(Colors.White, 5dip, 5dip, Colors.Black)
    MyEditText.Background = cd

If you use a standard b4xview there is a method called SetColorAndBorder which will do what you require.
if you have declared an edittext you can use the As(b4xview) cast

edittext.as(b4xview).setcolorandborder()

Where do you use that "as" cast code??? It's not part of B4X. I just tried.

Wow! That's amazing!
Thanks a lot! I don't know why I keep forgetting to check for updates! Anyway, I didn't expect the B4X language to receive such an exciting new feature! It saves me a lot of trouble.
