I am trying to achieve drawable to looks like this:
I use this xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:gravity="end">
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval"
>
<size
android:width="#dimen/bullet_size"
android:height="#dimen/bullet_size"
/>
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimary"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
But got this:
Any ideas what could be wrong?
I am using the gravity right circle dralable as follows:
textView.setBackgroundResources(R.drawable.right_shspe);
I think you should center the item which is holding the oval shape vertical and everything will be OK.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:gravity="end|center_vertical">
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval"
>
<size
android:width="#dimen/bullet_size"
android:height="#dimen/bullet_size"
/>
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimary"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Change The Width and height accordingly and it will fix the shape

Please how can I achieve the image below as background for an image view.
Create my_shape.xml under res/drawable:
<?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="#A5A5A5" />
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="75dp"
android:topLeftRadius="100dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Then, you can apply it to your view with:
android:background="#drawable/my_shape"
I try create this view:
I do not know how to make an arc with line. I tried some shape and attribute radius but doesn't work.
You can create semicircle of your view like this:
?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<clip
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:clipOrientation="vertical"
android:gravity="bottom">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#444"/>
</shape>
I'm going to create a drawable like below image that is included an arrow image.
When I use layer-list , arrow image appear in middle of my drawable!!!
Please let me know how can I achieve it ...
UPDATE:
This is my Layer-List:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
<solid android:color="#d5d5d5"/>
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#242425"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/ic_arrow"></item>
Make a drawable resource file set bitmap as the root element, then set the android:gravity="left" and use this bitmap file as drawable in your layer-list item.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<bitmap
android:gravity="left"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"/>
layer-list:
<?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="1dp" android:color="#color/blue" />
<solid android:color="#color/silver" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/stack" />
</layer-list>
Essentially, I am trying to create the following background:
The traditional gradient which use in the drawable that I use for background only supports start color, middle color and end color.
However, as you can see from the mockup, I am trying to create only a slight overlay/shadow at the top and bottom of the shape, with a #50000000 color (black with 50% opacity).
If you're using this inside a Layout view, then you can simply create a View with a gradient background and place it in the beginning and in the end of the Layout.
For example:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/parent">
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="5dp"
android:background="#drawable/gradient" />
<!-- Your other child views -->
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="5dp"
android:background="#drawable/gradient" />
</LinearLayout>
And your gradient.xml file will have this:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient android:startColor="#FFFFFF" android:endColor="#000000" android:angle="90"/>
</shape>
You can specify the blue background color to the parent layout.
You'll essentially get something like this:
[EDIT]
You can create two drawables - gradient_top.xml and gradient_bottom.xml to get the angle right
I prefer doing this than having to mess around with 9-Patches. Although, having said that, I wish Google would get on with providing built-in support for drop shadows, since they're so common.
Just to build on JoelFernandez solution with a more complete example:
The Container:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="[your_container_height]"
android:background="#drawable/container_bg_color">
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="12dp"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="#drawable/container_gradient_top"/>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="12dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:background="#drawable/container_gradient_bottom" />
<!-- Insert your content here -->
</RelativeLayout>
The Background Color (container_bg_color.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:thickness="0dp"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient android:startColor="#4a6fb4"
android:endColor="#color/deepBlue"
android:angle="135"/>
</shape>
The Top Gradient (container_gradient_top.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:thickness="0dp"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:startColor="#00222222"
android:centerColor="#11111111"
android:endColor="#44000000"
android:angle="90"/>
</shape>
The Bottom Gradient (container_gradient_bottom.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:thickness="0dp"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:startColor="#44000000"
android:centerColor="#11111111"
android:endColor="#00222222"
android:angle="90"/>
</shape>
Result:
Elaborating #ramaral's answer, build this drawable:
<?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="#FF408DAA"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="0dip" android:bottom="32dip">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient android:startColor="#00000000" android:endColor="#50000000" android:angle="90"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="32dip" android:bottom="0dip">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient android:startColor="#50000000" android:endColor="#00000000" android:angle="90"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
You would need to set a fixed height in the view, in order to achieve the best result. In my case I was setting the height to "36dip". Notice that the "32dip" is the amount of space from where the gradient ends to the end of the drawable, so that would leave me with a top and bottom gradients of "4dip" (36-32=4 :p)
Start with this:
Create a drawable:
<?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="#408DAA"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#50000000"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="10dip" android:bottom="10dip">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#408DAA"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Use it as background of any view.
Adjust top, bottom and color="#408DAA" according your needs
I am using the following below code to round the corners of RelativeLayout. I save this as mybackground.xml in drawable folder.
It's working fine for rounding the corner but the problem is that I also want to add an transparent image as a background of my RelativeLayout. How can I achieve both things? How can I use an image and a drawable xml (for rounding the corner) at the same time for a RelativeLayout ...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="30dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="30dp"
android:topLeftRadius="30dp"
android:topRightRadius="30dp" />
</shape>
use Layer List and Item tag for setting Image and use solid tag and set the color as #AA000000 for transparent as shown below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
<solid android:color="#AA000000"/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="30dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="30dp"
android:topLeftRadius="30dp"
android:topRightRadius="30dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/yourfilename"/>
</item>
</layer-list>
You can use Layer-List
It will be like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="30dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="30dp" android:topLeftRadius="30dp"
android:topRightRadius="30dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item><!-- your transparent image --></item>
</layer-list>
This one works. If you dont round corners of your pic you will not be able to see rounded corner too. Some friends talked about this in previous answers. They should round their image to see round effect.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="#drawable/listviewback2">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="35dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="35dp"
android:topLeftRadius="35dp"
android:topRightRadius="35dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Try something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="30dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="30dp" android:topLeftRadius="30dp"
android:topRightRadius="30dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/background"/>
</item>
</layer-list>
