How to make TextView looks exactly like EditText?

Question

How to make the whole TextView underline at the width of match parent like EditText?

This line of code only underlines the text, not the whole TextView.

textView.setPaintFlags(textView.getPaintFlags()| Paint.UNDERLINE_TEXT_FLAG);

The reason I want to use TextView is that setOnClickListener is triggered immediately in one tap for TextView, whereas two taps are required for a disabled editable EditText.

You can put the background of an EditText on your TextView. For example:

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Your text"
            android:hint="My hint"
            android:textColor="?attr/editTextColor"
            android:background="?attr/editTextBackground"
            android:gravity="center_vertical"
            android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMediumInverse"
            />

You might want to change the text appearance to android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Button" if you are using an AppCompat theme.
