Use "TextInputLayout" & "TextInputEditText"

for example

<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="16dp"
    android:hint="Your Header here">


    <com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
