How to set transparentedit style to a TEdit in firemonkey?

Question

When developing a Windows or iOS application in Delphi Seattle 10 we can easily create a transparent TEdit by setting it's StyleLookup property into transparentedit.

However, it doesn't change anything when developing for Android.

How do we create a transparent TEdit for Android in Firemonkey?

Not the best solution - but solves the problem in a simple way.

1 - Add a blank `TRectangle` to cover up the `Tedit` line. It will look like it is transparent.

Note : covering it up with 1 px of height will reduce to almost 0 the chances of giving a bad user experience when clicking on the field.
