Drawing a rounded trapezoid in android xml

I want to implement this ui in android xml.
I have created a list layer like this for top view:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:bottom="180dp"
android:left="50dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp">
<rotate android:fromDegrees="110">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
<item
android:bottom="430dp"
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp">
<rotate android:fromDegrees="0">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<corners
android:topLeftRadius="30dp"
android:topRightRadius="30dp" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
</layer-list>
Result:
But I can't implement the bottom corner radius in this shape. How to implement these corners radius?
And here is the code for bottom view:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:bottom="0dp"
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp">
<rotate android:fromDegrees="110">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
<item
android:bottom="0dp"
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="300dp">
<rotate android:fromDegrees="0">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="30dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="30dp" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
</layer-list>
Result:
And here is layout for screen:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/login_2_background"
android:padding="16dp">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:text="LOGIN"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="16dp"
android:textStyle="bold" />
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/form"
android:layout_below="#id/title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/card_login_2_shape">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="32dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="EMAIL/MOBILE"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="16sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_below="#id/form"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/card_login_2_shape_2">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="32dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="EMAIL/MOBILE"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textSize="16sp"/>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
Result:
But the top view fills the screen and bottom view not shown and if I set margin to one of the layouts it's not working correctly.
How can I change this codes or write new shapes for this UI?

You can find tons of answer for customizing the spinner in How to customize a Spinner in Android .Also you shouldn't use edittext as spinner.Spinners are made for choosing an option from many chooses.

try this: wrap spinner with your imageview in RelativeLayout
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/spinner_border"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:gravity="center"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown" />
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary"
android:padding="3dp">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/dropdown_bar" />
</FrameLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
in res/drawable/spinner_border use:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/colorPrimary" />
</shape>

Shadow text view in Android

I am trying shadow text view like this:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="top|center"
android:background="#drawable/gradient">
<TextView
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:text="#string/ph"
style="#style/TextBox"
android:textSize="16sp"/>
</LinearLayout>
gradient.xml
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:endColor="#FFFFFF"
android:startColor="#FFFFFF"
android:type="linear"
android:centerColor="#E3F2FD"
android:angle="90">
</gradient>
</shape>
</item>
This code can't get my design. Is it possible to textview like my picture?

Here i tried to create same shadow as your requirement which will look like this. I know the shadow color is not blur as u want
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="#drawable/shadow"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:paddingBottom="5dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/rectangle_shape"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="Phone Number" />
</LinearLayout>
drawable/shadow.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#220000ff" />
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
</shape>
drawable/rectangle_shape.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
</shape>

make xml backround_with_shadow and paste this code-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item >
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#87ceeb" />
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
and set xml as background of layout
<item android:right="1dp" android:left="1dp" android:bottom="2dp">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#android:color/white"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

Rounded Corner Bottom TextView inside CardView

I am using CardView to show List Items, where each and every List Item contains two textviews, namely - BOOK NOW/BOOK and DETAIL/DETAILS.
I would like to achieve rounded bottom TextView, but getting in rectangular shape
I have to design something like this:
Here is my 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.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
app:cardCornerRadius="5dp"
app:cardElevation="2dp">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1">
.......
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:background="#color/more"
android:layout_weight="1">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/btnBook"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="BOOK"
android:textColor="#android:color/background_light"
android:padding="5dp"
android:background="#null"
android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium"
android:gravity="center" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/btnDetail"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="DETAILS"
android:background="#null"
android:textColor="#android:color/background_light"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textAppearance="?android:textAppearanceMedium"
android:gravity="center" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
</LinearLayout>
Where I have to make change to get it done ?

set this background to the LinearLayout containing the textViews
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimary" />
<corners android:bottomLeftRadius="cardview_corner_radius_value"
android:bottomRightRadius="cardview_corner_radius_value" />
</shape>
</item>
and add background of TextView as transparent

You have to make selector for this in drawable folder.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#color/more" />
<dotted android:color="#00FF0000" />
<padding android:bottom="1dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Then set background to your view. Use this
android:background="#drawable/corner_selector"
instead of
android:background="#color/more"

make a file rounded_border.xml in drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/common_border_color" />
<solid android:color="#fff" />
<padding
android:left="1dp"
android:right="1dp"
android:top="1dp" />
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
and keep it as a background of linear layout
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_border"
android:layout_weight="1">

1. make button.xml file and put it in drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
<gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#345953" android:endColor="#689a92" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
<solid android:color="#58857e"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
<gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#8dbab3" android:endColor="#58857e" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
2. then change your xml background of Linearlayout
android:background="#color/more"
to
android:background="#drawable/button"

Try with this simplest way to do this your Layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/btnbackground"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
android:text="My Profile"
/>
</LinearLayout>
after that make a xml in drawable folder btnbackground.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/llabeforeclick3"
android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/llaafterclick3"/>
</selector>
then make another llabeforeclick3.xml in drawable directory
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#19384A" >
</solid>
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="10dp"
android:topRightRadius="10dp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp" />
<stroke
android:width="0dp"
android:color="#19384A" />
<padding
android:left="4dp"
android:top="4dp"
android:right="4dp"
android:bottom="4dp"
android:color="#19384A" />
</shape>
after that make another xml llaafterclick3.xml in drawable
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
//background color
<solid android:color="#204A60" >
</solid>
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="10dp"
android:topRightRadius="10dp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp" />
//before clicked
<gradient
android:angle="45"
android:centerColor="#204A60"
android:centerX="20"
android:centerY="20"
android:endColor="#204A60"
android:gradientRadius="25"
android:startColor="#204A60" />
</shape>
if some buddy wants to make more rounded corners then use to increase size of
android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="10dp"
android:topRightRadius="10dp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
That solve here your color code is depends on you you need to put color code only and radious.

Pass color attribute from custom view to drawable shape in Android

I have created a custom view that uses two <shape>'s as background in the view xml. Right now I have hardcoded the <solid color=""/> of the shape, but I would like to pass the color as an argument from code to the custom view and forward to the shape.
How do I achieve this? I'd like to pass a color reference to both #+id/rectangle and #+id/triangle from code.
Shape:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="1dp"/>
<solid android:color="#color/giddyologyOrange"/>
<padding
android:left="0dp"
android:top="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:bottom="0dp"
/>
<size android:height="60dp"
/>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#C95800"
/>
</shape>
View:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/rectangle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/rectangle"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="5dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/iconImageView"
android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|left"
android:contentDescription="Icon"
android:src="#drawable/iconplaceholder"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"/>
<View
android:id="#+id/spaceView"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_width="10dip"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/labelTextView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical|left"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:gravity="center|left"
android:textSize="16dip"
android:maxWidth="150dip"
android:text="This is a really long text that should wrap"/>
</LinearLayout>
<View
android:id="#+id/triangle"
android:layout_width="20dp"
android:layout_height="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="-1dp"
android:background="#drawable/triangle"
android:rotation="180"/>
</LinearLayout>

did you try this?
LinearLayout myView;
myView = (LinearLayout)findViewById(R.id.rectangle);
myView.setBackgroundColor(current_color);
I have a layout that has an ImageButton
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/color_swatch"
android:layout_width="#dimen/standard_btn_width"
android:layout_height="#dimen/standard_btn_width"
android:background="#drawable/checker_tile"
android:contentDescription="#string/paint"
android:src="#drawable/paint" />
my src is a layer-list drawable--
layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#FF999999" />
<solid android:color="#00000000" />
<padding
android:bottom="0dp"
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<stroke
android:width="4dp"
android:color="#FF999999" />
<solid android:color="#00000000" />
<corners android:radius="0dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
the background is a layer-list drawable-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:type="radial" android:gradientRadius="500"
android:startColor="#17568A"
android:endColor="#494C4F" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<bitmap
android:src="#drawable/checkerpattern"
android:tileMode="repeat" />
</item>
</layer-list>
I am able to setBackgroundColor to any color with 50% opacity and see the checkerpattern below

I ended up using a color filter to colorize the background image.
rectangle.getBackground().setColorFilter(color, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC);
Since the color comes from my model object this seemed like a pretty easy and maintainable solution.
