                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_weight="1" >

                        <TextView
                            android:id="@+id/ic_text_label49"
                            style="@style/CT_com_ic_edit_texview"
                            android:layout_width="50dp"
                            android:layout_height="40dp"
                            android:background="@drawable/rounded_textview"
                            android:text="@string/text_view49" />

                        <EditText
                            android:id="@+id/text49"
                            style="@style/CT_com_ictextbox"
                            android:layout_width="250dp"
                            android:layout_height="40dp"
                            android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/ic_text_label49"
                            android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext"
                            android:imeOptions="actionNext"
                            android:singleLine="true" />
                    </RelativeLayout> 

TEXTVIEW STYLE AS FOLLOWS

<style name="CT_com_ic_edit_texview">
        <item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>
        <item name="android:gravity">center</item>
        <item name="android:layout_marginTop">20dp</item>
    </style> 

<style name="CT_com_ictextbox"> <item name="android:textSize">18sp</item> <item name="android:gravity">right|center_vertical</item> <item name="android:paddingRight">20dp</item> <item name="android:hint">.00</item> <item name="android:inputType">numberDecimal</item> <item name="android:layout_marginTop">20dp</item> <item name="android:imeOptions">actionNext</item> </style> 

NOW THE BACKGROUND VALUES ARE AS FOLLOWS 1.Background style for text view create a file name (rounded_textview)in my case and your own name and place the below code in that.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
 
    <!-- view background color -->
    <solid
        android:color="#D4E3F5" >
    </solid>
 
    <!-- view border color and width -->
    <stroke
        android:width="1dp"
        android:color="#2B65BC" >
    </stroke>
 
    <!-- If you want to add some padding -->
    <padding
        android:left="4dp"
        android:top="4dp"
        android:right="4dp"
        android:bottom="4dp"    >
    </padding>
 
    <!-- Here is the corner radius -->
    <corners
        android:topLeftRadius="6dp" 
        android:bottomLeftRadius="6dp">
    </corners>
 
</shape>
