ShapeDrawable is not drawing properly when given as background - android

My Current view looks like this:
I tried to draw a shape drawable with this code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<!-- Outer green rectangle-->
<item
android:bottom="140dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="100dp"
android:height="200dp" />
<solid android:color="#ff5500" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:top="180dp"
android:bottom="140dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="20dp"/>
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- inner white rectangle -->
<item
android:bottom="-10dp"
android:right="90dp"
android:left="90dp">
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="-85">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="30dp"/>
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
</layer-list>
and I managed to get this shape:
]2
The problem is that when I give this shape as a background of my layout, it looks like this:
Where as my final goal is to make it look like this:

change your drawable file like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Outer green rectangle-->
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ff5500" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="-720dp">
<rotate android:fromDegrees="-85">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
<!-- inner white rectangle -->
</layer-list>

How to clip items in a layer list drawable with respect to corner radius defined from another item

As shown in the image below i cannot clip the corners of a layer corresponding to another layer. Is there any way that it can be done that I am missing here? I want to clip anything that's going out of the corner radius.
Here is the XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/darkColor">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/color_e95252" />
<corners android:radius="16dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="#+id/lightColor1"
android:bottom="40dp"
android:right="300dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/color_ea5f5f" />
<corners android:radius="16dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
**The item below is kinda unnecessary**
<item android:id="#+id/lightColor2"
android:right="90dp"
android:top="-40dp"
android:bottom="-10dp"
android:left="10dp"
android:width="300dp"
>
**This is where the problem occurs**
<rotate android:fromDegrees="8">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/color_ea5f5f" />
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="300dp"
android:topLeftRadius="#dimen/dim_16"
android:bottomLeftRadius="50dp"/>
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
Here you go, don't need that extra xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#+id/darkColor">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/appThemeColor" />
<corners android:radius="16dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="#+id/lightColor1"
android:bottom="30dp"
android:right="300dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimaryDark" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="#+id/lightColor2"
android:top="-50dp"
android:width="300dp"
>
<rotate android:fromDegrees="8">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimaryDark" />
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="250dp"
android:topLeftRadius="60dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="50dp"/>
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
</layer-list>

How do you create a layer-list with two solids next to each other?

I'm trying to create a drawable with two shapes next to each other using layer-list, how would I do it?
You can use the following code to have the drawable you want(Change the colors and height as you want)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:gravity="center">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="5dp"
android:height="5dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/colorAccent"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:gravity="right">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="1dp"
android:height="5dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimary"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

How to create 3 shape layer list top to bottom

Hi guys so i created 2 xmls for 3 shapes. 2 shapes are rectangle 1 is ring.
First XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/colorGrey"/>
<size android:height="40dp" android:width="10dp"/>
</shape>
Second XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/colorWhite"/>
<size android:height="40dp" android:width="40dp"/>
</shape>
Then i created a layer-list drawable like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/rectangle"
android:gravity="center" />
</item>
<item android:top="40dp">
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/circle"
android:gravity="center" />
</item>
<item android:top="40dp">
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/rectangle"
android:gravity="center" />
</item>
</layer-list>
My main goal was to create this. Main problem is they are stacking top of each other.
Try this (I've assumed a 40x40dp image size based on your code and a white background based on your image):
<?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="#color/white"/>
<size android:height="40dp" android:width="40dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:right="18dp"
android:left="18dp">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/green"/>
<size android:height="40dp" android:width="4dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:gravity="center">
<shape
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/green"/>
<size android:height="15dp" android:width="15dp"/>
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#color/white"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

How to create EditText background %100 transparent with bottom line

I need to create Edittext drawable background with %100 percent transparent and has only colored bottom line 2dp. Is there any way to make this component.
The bellow code with constant background. I need transparent background.
<?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="#color/colorPrimary2" />
<padding android:bottom="2dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/background" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Here you go:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" /> <!--background color -->
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:top="-3dp"
android:right="-3dp"
android:left="-3dp">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#000" />
<!-- color and size of the border -->
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
There is color for a transparency in android. Try this.
<?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="#FFffffff" />
<padding android:bottom="2dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/background" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

Shadow-like drawable, using "layer-list"

Background
I'm trying to make a (fake) shadow below a view, so that the layers would be vertical in this manner:
a line of color "#43000000" with a height of "1dp"
below the line, a gradient that starts from the top with color "#1A000000" and ends with color "#00000000", and is of a height of "8dp".
The problem
For some reason, I can't draw the line correctly.
No matter what I do, the line for some reason takes the whole space, while the gradient seems fine.
What I tried
I tried using "line" as the shape and also "rectangle". I also tried using "stroke" instead of "solid", tried adding padding and margins...
Here's the XML of the drawable file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<size android:height="1dp" />
<solid android:color="#43000000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="1dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<gradient
android:angle="270"
android:endColor="#00000000"
android:startColor="#1A000000" />
<size android:height="8dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Again, this is not the only thing I've tried. It's just my first attempt.
The question
How can I fix this XML ? what is causing it to happen?
Here's what I've found to be working:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:bottom="8dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<size android:height="1dp" />
<solid android:color="#43000000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="1dp">
<shape
android:dither="true"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<gradient
android:angle="270"
android:endColor="#00000000"
android:startColor="#10000000" />
<size android:height="8dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Tried with this,may it fulfill your need with gradient
<?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="#e040fb"/>
<corners android:radius="2dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp"
android:bottom="2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#E1BEE7"/>
<corners android:radius="2dp" />
<gradient
android:angle="270"
android:endColor="#e1bee7"
android:startColor="#e040fb" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
You can change the heights in this and get what you want
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:height="10dp"
android:gravity="bottom">
<shape
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/shadow_color" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:right="20dp" android:left="20dp" android:bottom="12dp"
android:top="10dp">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/border_color"/>
<corners android:radius="20dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:right="30dp" android:left="30dp" android:bottom="23dp"
android:top="20dp">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/base_color"/>
<corners android:radius="15dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
