TextInputLayout as text area - Android

Question

I'm trying to create something like this in my app(taken from google docs):

Now, I tried to create a TextInputLayout element and try to put border around it but I can't manage to get this to look like the images I posted.

Here is my code for the TextInputLayout:

<android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
        android:id="@+id/shipper_layout"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
        android:background="@drawable/text_layout_stroke_normal"
        app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
        android:layout_marginEnd="8dp">

        <EditText
            android:id="@+id/shipper_field"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:padding="15dp"
            android:background="@null"
            android:gravity="top"
            android:hint="@string/shipper_field"
            android:inputType="textMultiLine"
            android:overScrollMode="always"
            android:scrollbarStyle="insideInset"
            android:scrollbars="vertical" />
    </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Here is how it looks: (Before focused)

You can see the border isn't change as expected and the hint is just minimized

Try this code:

in Xml:

 <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/shipper_layout"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
    android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
    app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/shipper_field"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="150dp"
        android:background="@drawable/text_layout_stroke_normal"
        android:gravity="top"
        android:hint="HELLO"
        android:inputType="textMultiLine"
        android:overScrollMode="always"
        android:padding="15dp"
        android:scrollbarStyle="insideInset"
        android:scrollbars="vertical" />
</android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

Now in code programetically change border and hint color of Edittext using setOnFocusChangeListener

 edittext.setOnFocusChangeListener(new OnFocusChangeListener() {          
        public void onFocusChange(View v, boolean hasFocus) {
            if(hasFocus) {
                GradientDrawable drawable = (GradientDrawable)edittext.getBackground();
                drawable.setStroke(2, Color.RED);
                edittext.setHintTextColor(Color.RED);
            }
        }
    });
