I have a custom shape I am trying to create to be the background of a tabview.
This is the desired result:
I am trying to create the background of the active tab with this step.
I have the background as a different color so I can see what is doing what for now.
This is what I have so far:
But when trying to add a stroke to the shape, this happens:
Does anyone have an idea on how I can get to the result I stated above (with the corner radius' and stroke)?
Here is the drawable code (drawable/tab_active.xml):
<?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:color="#color/warmGray" />
<corners
android:topRightRadius="0dp"
android:topLeftRadius="32dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="32dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- This rectangle for the left side -->
<item
android:right="100dp"
android:left="-100dp"
android:top="-100dp"
android:bottom="-100dp">
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="45">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">

And then I call it using:
<View

android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:background="#drawable/tab_active"
android:scaleY="-1" />

I am trying to draw a custom shape which I can use as a background for my layout. But I am not able to do so. Is it possible to draw a shape as below using xml in android. I am not getting how to cut the semicircle shape from the vertical centres of rectangle.
Use layer-list to make this custom shape drawable.
/res/drawable/custom_shape.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<size
android:width="300dp"
android:height="100dp" />
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />

Hope this will help~
In your case it might be worth to create a resizable bitmap (9-Patch drawable). Follow this guide.
try bellow xml. save it in drawable.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners
android:topLeftRadius="15dp"
android:topRightRadius="15dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="5dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="5dp"
/>
<solid
android:color="#ffffff"
/>
<padding
android:left="0dp"
android:top="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:bottom="0dp"
/>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#000000"
/>
</shape>
It is better to use 9-Patch images. If you can create an image like above you can use https://romannurik.github.io/AndroidAssetStudio/nine-patches.html to create 9-patch image(define expandable area).
Try this xml file in drawable :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape= "rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/primary" />
<corners android:radius="50dp"/>
</shape>
Please refer the below xml, it may help you out
<?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="#android:color/black" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:bottom="10dp"
android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:top="10dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="200dp"
android:height="200dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/colorAccent" />
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="line">
<solid android:color="#android:color/black" />
<stroke android:width="1dp"
android:dashWidth="10px"
android:dashGap="10px"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:bottom="103dp"
android:left="-10dp"
android:right="205dp"
android:top="103dp">
<shape android:shape="oval">

android:width="3dp"
android:height="3dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/black" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" />
</shape>

android:width="3dp"
android:height="3dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/black" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Try below code
<?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="3dip" />

how to make this background xml for a button.
Use that xml fileinside Drawable folder and assign it to TextView as android:background="#drawable/xmlFile"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:radius="100dip"/>
<solid
android:color="#FFF" />
<stroke
android:width="2dip"
android:color="#F00" />
<padding
android:left="6dip"
android:right="6dip"
android:top="5dip"
android:bottom="5dip" />
</shape>
Create your button background on as a drawable resource like this.
button_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_focused="true">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#f5f5f5" />
<corners android:radius="8dp" />
<stroke android:width="4dp" android:color="#FF0000" />
<padding android:bottom="16dp" android:left="16dp" android:right="16dp" android:top="16dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_enabled="true" android:state_focused="false">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<corners android:radius="8dp" />
<stroke android:width="4dp" android:color="#FF0000" />
<padding android:bottom="16dp" android:left="16dp" android:right="16dp" android:top="16dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Then simply use it on your button
<Button
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Your Text"
android:textColor="#FF0000"
android:background="#drawable/button_background" />
Try this
http://tips.androidhive.info/2013/09/android-layout-rounded-corner-border/
and
http://android--code.blogspot.in/2015/01/android-rounded-corners-button.html
Add a xml file in drawable folder and add this code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<!-- view background color -->
<solid
android:color="#a9c5ac" >
</solid>
<!-- view border color and width -->
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="#1c1b20" >
</stroke>
<!-- If you want to add some padding -->
<padding
android:left="4dp"
android:top="4dp"
android:right="4dp"
android:bottom="4dp" >
</padding>
<!-- Here is the corner radius -->
<corners
android:radius="10dp" >
</corners>
</shape>
and for button change background to this xml as
android:background="#drawable/yourxml"
I am trying to achieve the above background with the following 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="#dddddd" />
<size android:width="0dp" android:height="0dp" />
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="#aaaaaa" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="0.1dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
android:topLeftRadius="0.1dp"
android:topRightRadius="15dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#6bb726" />
<size android:width="3dp" android:height="0dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
However, setting rectangle widths does not seem to be working and the green rectangle is taking as much space as the grey rectangle.
Can anyone suggest improvements to my xml-defined shape?
Try something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:right="15dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#6bb726" />
<size android:width="3dp" android:height="0dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:left="5dp" >
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#dddddd" />
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="#aaaaaa" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="0.1dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
android:topLeftRadius="0.1dp"
android:topRightRadius="15dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
EDIT:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:right="15dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#6bb726" />
<size android:width="3dp" android:height="0dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:left="5dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#aaaaaa" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="0.1dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
android:topLeftRadius="0.1dp"
android:topRightRadius="15dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:left="5dp" android:top="3dp" android:bottom="3dp" android:right="3dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#dddddd" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="0.1dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
android:topLeftRadius="0.1dp"
android:topRightRadius="15dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
