Android Question EditText height changes, setting up ColorDrawable?

[zakker]

Hi all,
I have 2 EditText (text1, text2) setted by code with the same height.
On text2 I use ColorDrawable to set its background color ... why, on screen, text2 seems higher than text1 even if they have the same height?!?!?

I attach an example

Thanks

That's how it looks like on my Samsung s6, Android 6.0.1

I'm trying on a 2.3.6...and text2, on screen, is higher than text1

I remember that on older Android versions the default visible size of an EditText is smaller then the outer size.
You might set a ColorDrawable to both EditTexts.
