You may use custom edit text with border, so you can easily set your desired background. For example try this code:
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="32dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp">
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
android:background="#drawable/boarder"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:text="input"
app:endIconMode="password_toggle"
app:endIconTint="#EF0707" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="7dp"
android:background="#fff"
android:text="Label" />
</RelativeLayout>
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:id="#+id/btnSelectText"
android:layout_width="168dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
android:text="login"
android:visibility="visible"
app:cornerRadius="10dp" />
</LinearLayout>
boarder.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#03A6F0" />
<corners android:radius="12dp" />
</shape>
Also see here: Custom edit text with borders

If you don't like to use custom edit text, you can modify your code this way:
activity_main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="32dp">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout
android:id="#+id/linUsername"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:hint="username"
android:textColorHint="#ED0A0A"
app:boxBackgroundColor="#1A33385E"
app:endIconMode="password_toggle"
app:endIconTint="#AEB0C6">
<com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputEditText
android:id="#+id/edtUsername"
android:background="#drawable/boarder"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:textColor="#fff"
android:text="User"
android:textColorHint="#fff"
app:hintTextColor="#AEB0C6" />
</com.google.android.material.textfield.TextInputLayout>
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:id="#+id/btnSelectText"
android:layout_width="168dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="24dp"
android:text="login"
android:visibility="visible"
app:cornerRadius="10dp" />
</LinearLayout>
And in boarder.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#8033385E"/>
<corners android:radius="12dp" />
</shape>
Output will be:

chat layout in Android

I am trying to create a layout like this (the blue bubble):
However, in my XML below, the blue bubble extends to the whole width of the fragment though I have specified the width as wrap_content everywhere. Any ideas ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingRight="17dp"
android:paddingLeft="17dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:gravity="right"
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:paddingTop="5dp">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:id="#+id/bubble_user" android:gravity="end" android:background="#drawable/chat_user_reply_background" android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/user_reply_status"
android:layout_width="12dp"
android:layout_height="12dp"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/chat_user_reply"
android:layout_marginBottom="5dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_single_tick"
android:visibility="visible" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/user_reply_timing"

android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/user_reply_status"
android:text="17:10" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/chat_user_reply"
style="#style/chat_text_message_style"
android:layout_toLeftOf="#id/user_reply_timing"
android:maxWidth="280dp"
android:autoLink="web"
android:text="Rahul Agrawal is a good boy but he does not know what he wants." />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
<style name="chat_text_message_style">
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/chat_message_text_color</item>
<item name="android:paddingTop">5dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingBottom">5dp</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">8dp</item>

<item name="android:textSize">18sp</item>

<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:textSize">12sp</item>
</style>

Check the size of the image used as background for RelativeLayout or change the width of the Layout.Using the same xml with 100dp of width.
UPDATE
The maxWidth of the TextView adjust it according to design.
It looks like this:

Thank you

Try
<ImageButton
style="#style/TitleBarAction"
android:contentDescription="Searching..."
android:onClick="onClickSearch"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:src="#drawable/title_search" />

Although I would recommend looking into using the Action Bar if at all possible,
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
should work, you could also acheive what you want by making you TitleBarLogo and magnifying glass graphic a 9-patch image that leaves the middle blank and resizes automatically without distorting the graphic.
