Android show EditText.setError() above the EditText and not below it

Question

When i call EditText.setError(); the error appears below the edittext, and makes it impossible to interact with the View below the EditText. Is it possible to show the error above the EditText? Google doesn't seem to have the answer(Or i'm using wrong search terms).

The Crouton Library seems to be a better way to display errors when validating forms. See some reasons here
