I faced same problem. below is my solution:

<EditText
       android:id="@+id/etCode"
       style="@style/CodeFieldEdittext"
       android:gravity="end|center_vertical"
       android:imeOptions="actionDone"
       android:inputType="text"
       android:text="" />

in styles.xml

<style name="CodeFieldEdittext">
        <item name="android:background">@null</item>
        <item name="android:textCursorDrawable">@drawable/code_blue_cursor</item>
        <item name="android:textColor">@color/colorFieldBg</item>
        <item name="android:textSize">16sp</item>
        <item name="android:maxLines">1</item>
        <item name="android:layout_width">match_parent</item>
        <item name="android:layout_height">40dp</item>
        <item name="android:textColorHint">@color/colorFieldHint</item>
    </style>

cursor drawable:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <size android:width="1dp" />
    <solid android:color="@color/colorFieldBg" />
</shape>
