Want to customize EditText attribute with a hint

Question

I'm new to android mobile development and java. And wonder if anybody can help me with my issue.

Now, I'm making XML file of my android app and want it to have something like displayed below.

Can it be made in XML file without deep knowledge of java? I just want to have fixed text in my EditText attribute. Using LinearLayout to my first app. I appreciate any kind of help.

Using API 28 for testing.
