Answer 1

Keep TextView and EditText inside Relative Layout and Adjust them according to your requirement.

Example:

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/Edittext"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:ems="10"
        android:hint="To my first character" >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text_view"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/Edittext"
        android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/Edittext"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:text="123123" />

</RelativeLayout>

Change it if you have any changes

Try this...

Layout:

<FrameLayout
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
     android:layout_marginStart="8dp" >

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/editText"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:ems="10"
            android:hint="@string/mobile"
            android:inputType="phone"
            android:background="@drawable/some_edittext_background"
            android:labelFor="@+id/editText"
            android:maxLength="9"
            android:paddingBottom="8dp"
            android:paddingStart="48dp"
            android:paddingEnd="8dp"
            android:paddingTop="8dp" >
                <requestFocus />
            </EditText>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/prefix"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
            android:paddingStart="8dp"
            android:text="+971" />
</FrameLayout>

Result:
