EditText height issue in Android 4.4 (Kitkat)

Question

I am developing a sample app with just activation screen. I have one EditText and one Button .

In all android version screen is looking fine except Android 4.4.

I am getting issue with EditText in Kitkat version only. EditText not showing perfect height and also showing some shadow around EditText .

Please see below image for more detail.

In Android 4.4 version

In Other Android version

Below is EditText code in layout xml file.

 <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content">

                <EditText
                    android:id="@+id/edt_activation_key"
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:ems="10"
                    android:gravity="center"
                    android:hint="Activation Number"
                    android:maxLines="1"
                    android:textColor="#575757"
                    android:textSize="15dp" />

    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

How can I fit this issue with android 4.4. I also searched on Google too but not getting exact solution of this issue.

I had same issue. Use android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText instead of EditText This solved the problem. Edited in your code

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <android.support.design.widget.TextInputEditText
                android:id="@+id/edt_activation_key"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:ems="10"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:hint="Activation Number"
                android:maxLines="1"
                android:textColor="#575757"
                android:textSize="15dp" />

</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>
