Adding shadow to Rounded corner TextView? - android

I want to add shadow to my text view . I found solutions for adding gradients and one other solution which suggested creating a duplicate text view with a lighter shade at the back of the original textView to give a shadow effect. But i want to have a real shadow effect.
This is what i tried .I created an xml file rounded_corner.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#33000000"
android:dashWidth="3dp"
/>
<solid android:color="#000000" />
<padding
android:left="1dp"
android:right="1dp"
android:top="1dp" />
<corners android:radius="10dp"
/>
</shape>
I added elevation and translationz but its not showing shadow in the output
<TextView
android:background="#drawable/rounded_corners"
android:layout_width="260dp"
android:layout_height="70dp"
android:textSize="50sp"
android:text="Welcome User"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="20dp"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:elevation="50dp"
android:translationZ="10dp"
android:id="#+id/welcome"/>


I assume that you want to put the shadow on the TextView and not on the text itself. The you can make a layer-list inside your rounded corner drawable file 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">
<solid android:color="#android:color/black" />
<corners android:radius="3dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="2dp" android:right="2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#282828" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#302f2f" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
If you put the drawable as background of your TextView
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_corner"
the output will link like this:


Just pu this on your TextView XML for shadow on the text:
android:shadowColor="#android:color/holo_purple"
android:shadowDx="10"
android:shadowDy="10"
android:shadowRadius="5"
you can edit with your preferences.
And create a Drawable file for shadow in all input, more or less like this one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<!-- Bottom 2dp Shadow -->
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#d8d8d8" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- White Top color -->
<item android:bottom="4px" android:left="0px" android:right="4px" android:top="0px">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>


You can use the shadow XML attributes.
android:shadowColor="#000"
android:shadowDx="0"
android:shadowDy="0"
android:shadowRadius="50"

How to create a shadow border inside a LinearLayout or EditText in android?

How to add a shadow border on 4 sides of an edit text as shown in the image? Applied below code but it creates a shadow on single side only.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient
android:startColor="#FFBDBDBD"
android:centerColor="#65FFFFFF"
android:endColor="#00FFFFFF"
/>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#C3C3C3" />
<corners
android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>

You can use elevation like :-
android:elevation="5dp"
elevation worked as Z-index.

You can try adding width and color inside the shape tag.
It will look like this:
<stroke android:width="3dp" android:color="#bfafb2"/>

First create this background drawable with a rectangle, round corner and a stroke in grey. Called background_drawable.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
<stroke android:width="1dp"
android:color="#C3C3C3"/>
</shape>
After that you set this as android:background="" in your LinearLayout and EditText, both widgets have android:elevation="2dp" for it's shadow on each sites matching the stroke of the rectangle. Here is your layout called activity_main.xml:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:elevation="2dp"
android:id="#+id/linear_layout"
android:background="#drawable/background_drawable"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:orientation="horizontal" />
<EditText
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/edit_text"
android:elevation="2dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/background_drawable"
android:layout_below="#+id/linear_layout"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:padding="10dp"/>
The final result will look like this image.

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#CABBBBBB"/>
<corners android:radius="2dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:left="2dp"
android:right="2dp"
android:top="2dp"
android:bottom="2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#android:color/white"/>
<corners android:radius="2dp" />
</shape>
</item>

There are lots of ways and here they are Use that which one suits you
Create your own drawable
border.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item >
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">

</layer-list>
and your_layout.xml
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/border"
/>
You can also use use a drawable from android
android:background="#android:drawable/toast_frame"
or:
android:background="#android:drawable/dialog_frame"
or:
android:background="#android:drawable/dialog_holo_light_frame"
Use a 9-patch image with a shadow and set it as the background to your

android:text="OK"
android:background="#drawable/border"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/progress"

stroke_width_inner should be twice of stroke_width_outer always
Apply background to button -
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/button_background"
android:text="OK"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
On Layout Editor -
On Device -
On Device you won't see the grayish left and top border as you see on Layout Editor

This appears to be a good place to use a 9-patch image. Any solution based on a regular .png file, a <shape>, or a <vector> will wind up scaling the white and black borders of your button.
Once you've created your button.9.png file, then you can set it to be your button's background using android:background="#drawable/button".
Edit
Here's a 9-patch based on your linked .png file:

Please look here about creating a shape drawable http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#Shape
Once you have done this, in the XML for your button set android:background="#drawable/your_button_border"

Android border bottom for custom view not working

What I'm trying to do is to have a relativelayout with a gradient on it and a gray bottom border, I'm using the below custom view in my application:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/list_item_container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/list_item_image"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/SIZE_LIST_ITEM_LARGE"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"/>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/shape_list_item_gradient" />
<com.rahil.widgets.CustomTextView
android:id="#+id/list_item_title"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:paddingRight="5dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:gravity="bottom"
android:textColor="#color/COLOR_BLACK"/>
</RelativeLayout>
and this is shape_list_item_gradient:
<?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:startColor="#FFFFFFFF"
android:endColor="#00FFFFFF"
android:angle="90" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#color/COLOR_GRAY" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
but the above code applies border to all borders not just bottom border. I added the separate shape xml to the relativelayout but it didn't work which I assume the view with gradient covers it maybe?? I'm quiet lost. thanks for your help.

The android:bottom attribute is actually the "bottom offset in pixels" as noted here about layer-list drawables. There is no explicit way to create a rectangle that is stroked only on one side.
However you can use the same trick that Krylez suggested here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/19239478/1538674
So something like this:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:startColor="#FFFFFFFF"
android:endColor="#00FFFFFF"
android:angle="90" />
</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="#color/COLOR_GRAY" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

Rounded corner for textview in android

I have a textview and want its corner to be in round shape. I already know it can be done using android:background="#drawable/somefile". In my case, this tag is already included so cannot use again. e.g android:background="#drawable/mydialogbox" is already there to create image in background
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:background="#drawable/mydialogbox"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview_name"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
so when I want textview(textview_name) also with round corner, how this can be achieved.

Create rounded_corner.xml in the drawable folder and add the following content,
<?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="#ffffff" />
<padding
android:left="1dp"
android:right="1dp"
android:bottom="1dp"
android:top="1dp" />
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
Set this drawable in the TextView background property like so:
android:background="#drawable/rounded_corner"
I hope this is useful for you.

Beside radius, there are some property to round corner like topRightRadius, topLeftRadius, bottomRightRadius, bottomLeftRadius
Example TextView with red border with corner and gray background
bg_rounded.xml (in the drawables folder)
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke
android:width="10dp"
android:color="#f00" />
<solid android:color="#aaa" />
<corners
android:radius="5dp"
android:topRightRadius="100dp" />
</shape>
TextView
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/bg_rounded"
android:text="Text"
android:padding="20dp"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
/>
Result

With the Material Components Library you can use the MaterialShapeDrawable.
With a TextView:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textview"
../>
You can programmatically apply a MaterialShapeDrawable:
float radius = getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.corner_radius);
TextView textView = findViewById(R.id.textview);
ShapeAppearanceModel shapeAppearanceModel = new ShapeAppearanceModel()
.toBuilder()
.setAllCorners(CornerFamily.ROUNDED,radius)
.build();
MaterialShapeDrawable shapeDrawable = new MaterialShapeDrawable(shapeAppearanceModel);
ViewCompat.setBackground(textView,shapeDrawable);
If you want to change the background color and the border just apply:
shapeDrawable.setFillColor(ContextCompat.getColorStateList(this,R.color.....));
shapeDrawable.setStroke(2.0f, ContextCompat.getColor(this,R.color....));

Since your top level view already has android:background property set, you can use a <layer-list> (link) to create a new XML drawable that combines both your old background and your new rounded corners background.
Each <item> element in the list is drawn over the next, so the last item in the list is the one that ends up on top.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/mydialogbox" />
</item>
<item>
<shape>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/common_border_color" />
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<padding
android:left="1dp"
android:right="1dp"
android:top="1dp" />
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

There is Two steps
1) Create this file in your drawable folder :- rounded_corner.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="10dp" /> // set radius of corner
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#ff3478" /> // set color and width of border
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" /> // inner bgcolor
</shape>
2) Set this file into your TextView as background property.
android:background="#drawable/rounded_corner"
You can use this drawable in Button or Edittext also

create an xml gradient.xml file under drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="50dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#667162" />
<gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#ffffff" android:endColor="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
then add this to your TextView
android:background="#drawable/gradient"

You can use the provided rectangle shape (without a gradient, unless you want one) as follows:
In drawable/rounded_rectangle.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#ff0000" />
<solid android:color="#00ff00" />
</shape>
Then in your text view:
android:background="#drawable/rounded_rectangle"
Of course, you will want to customize the dimensions and colors.

Right Click on Drawable Folder and Create new File
Name the file according to you and add the extension as .xml.
Add the following code in the file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" />
<solid android:color="#1e90ff" />
</shape>
Add the line where you want the rounded edge android:background="#drawable/corner"

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#android:id/background">
<shape>
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
<solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

Put your TextView inside MaterialCardView:
<com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:cardCornerRadius="25dp"
>
<com.google.android.material.textview.MaterialTextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/emergency_sms_template"
android:padding="6dp"
android:textSize="11sp"
/>
</com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView>

You can use SVG for rounding corners and load into an ImageView and use ConstraintLayout to bring ImageView on TextView
I used it for rounded ImageView and rounded TextView

Simply using an rounded corner image as the background of that view
And don't forget to have your custom image in drawable folder
android:background="#drawable/my_custom_image"
