    EditText uses selector for it’s background.

    From android source code:

    <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_default" />
    <item android:state_window_focused="false" android:state_enabled="false"
        android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_disabled" />
    <item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_pressed" />
    <item android:state_enabled="true" android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_selected" />
    <item android:state_enabled="true" android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_default" />
    <item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_disabled_selected" />
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/textfield_disabled" />
</selector>

    You have to create you own selector where you can use your own drawables for pressed and selected state. You can read more about selectors here
