I am using android studio, and I try to do some work on UI using some buttons.
I have created a background for some buttons, but when I apply this background on the buttons, the text inside the butons is not centered.
I think the marginof the button remains the same, whereas the applied background creates a smaller square than the marginn of the button. I don't know how to make the margin of the button fit the margin of the square coded in the background xml file.
Here the picture of the problem :

Here is the code of the background (bg_rectangle_grey.xml) :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:width="#dimen/_34sdp" android:height="#dimen/_34sdp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#ff6c7780" />
<corners android:radius="3dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
And here is the code of the xml file with the button :
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="#dimen/_15sdp"
android:style="?android:attr/buttonBarStyle">
<Button
android:style="?android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle"
android:background="#drawable/bg_rectangle_grey"
android:id="#+id/button4"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="M" />
I have looked for answers on google but it was never exactly what I am looking for.
If anyone can help.
Thank you in advance
Just use gravity center in button
<Button
android:style="?android:attr/buttonBarButtonStyle"
android:background="#drawable/bg_rectangle_grey"
android:id="#+id/button4"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:text="M" />
Please remove android:width="#dimen/_34sdp" android:height="#dimen/_34sdp" from below code and try again.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:width="#dimen/_34sdp" android:height="#dimen/_34sdp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#ff6c7780" />
<corners android:radius="3dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

I am not able to find the exact sloution to make the shadow with the blurr. I am using the simple Concept of displaying the shadow , but only getting the simple shadow without the blurr.How can the shadow be made blurr without using the bitmap images.

I am able to get the simple shadow , How can i get the blurr shadow??
have a look on the following code. It might help you.
I'm trying to add ripple effect to a custom button. But the only solution I found is adding a background which I have already done for achieving rounded corners for that button. Now I want to add the ripple effect. This is how my button tag looks so far:
<Button
android:text="PLAY"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:background="#drawable/roundedbutton"
android:onClick="gotomainpage"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginBottom="200dp" />
use this code in your button
android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackground"
Easy
1. Creating an Ripple Drawable Contains the Backgound Shape
<ripple
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="?colorControlHighlight"> //defaul ripple color
<item>
<shape //the background shape when it's not being click
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="#color/colorPrimary" />
<corners
android:radius="32dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
2. Applying the Drawable to the Button and REMOVE THE SHADOW
<Button
style="?borderlessButtonStyle" //remove the default shadow
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/background_button" //here
android:text="Sign up"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
Try adding a android:foreground="#drawable/ripple"
drawable/ripple.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#color/ripple_white">
<item android:id="#android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="?android:colorAccent" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
if the View has a radius on its corners, apply this XML inside the shape (otherwise the ripple goes all the way to the corner);
<corners android:radius="10dp"/>
if you want ripples that end up as circles then use this
drawable/ripple_circle.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#color/ripple_white">
<item android:id="#android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="?android:colorAccent" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
This method requires minimum API level 21 or later and android:foreground has no effect on API levels lower than 23
To describe my problem i created small example.
I have linearlayout with imageview and textview. For linearlayout i've set ripple drawable as background. But when i click or long click on linearlayout ripple animation shows under imageview. How show animation over imageview ?
main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/activity_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/linear"
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:background="#drawable/ripple"
android:clickable="true"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:src="#mipmap/index" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="This is ripple test"
android:textColor="#FF00FF00" />
</LinearLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
drawable-v21/ripple.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#FFFF0000">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FF000000"/>
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
drawable/ripple.xml:
<?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="3dp" />
<solid android:color="#FFFF0000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="3dp" />
<solid android:color="#FFFF0000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="3dp" />
<solid android:color="#FF000000" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
screenshot how it looks now:
Add the ripple like this
android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
based on this answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/35753159/2736039
Add android:background="#null" for the ImageView
If your app needs to run on API < 23, you won't be able to use the foreground attribute on views other than FrameLayout, which means adding another [useless] level in the view tree hierarchy.
Another solution is to wrap your image with a <ripple>, set it as your ImageView's background, and use tint and tintMode to "hide" the src image so the background image that has the ripple over it is visible.
<!-- In your layout file -->
<ImageView
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:background="#drawable/image_with_ripple"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/image"
android:tint="#android:color/transparent"
android:tintMode="src_in" />
<!-- drawable/image_with_ripple.xml -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="?colorControlHighlight">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/image" />
</ripple>
Not only this works on API 21+ but if your image has rounded corners – or is another type of non-rectangle shape, like a star or a heart icon – the ripple will remain in its bounds instead of filling the view's rectangle bounds, which gives a better look in some cases.
See this Medium article for an animated GIF to see how this technique compares to using a <FrameLayout> or the foreground attribute.
Resolve for API < 21
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/favorite_season"
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
android:layout_width="25dp"
android:layout_height="25dp"
android:layout_margin="22dp"
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
android:src="#drawable/ic_star"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent" />
Simple use these two lines as attribute in that ImageView.
android:background="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
android:clickable="true"
I am trying to get a TextView with white background and rounded corners and text in the middle.
Something that looks like this:
So far I have this but it is not giving me the above effect.
<TextView
android:textColor="#000000"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:text="0" />
First of all, I would create a custom drawable resource for easy implementation of rounded corners.
(place this in res/drawable)
my_bg.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="15dp"/>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#android:color/black" />
</shape>
More info on xml drawable resources can be found right here if you want to get into more advanced drawables (gradients, layer-list, animation, etc...)
Then change your TextView in xml layout file to match this:
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="8dp"
android:textColor="#000000"
<!--refer to your custom drawable from earlier-->
android:background="#drawable/my_bg"
<!--center text within TextView-->
android:gravity="center"
android:text="0" />
I hope this helps, Happy Coding!
Set the gravity
android:gravity="center"
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:gravity
You are missing the width and height attribute for TextView.
For the rounded corners use a Shape Drawable
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#Shape
Under res/drawable
<?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="7dp" />
<stroke android:width="5px" />
</shape>
Then
<TextView
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:background="#drawable/background"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="0"
android:textColor="#000000" />

I am trying to make button'corners round, as well as setting a background image. Though I was able to achieve button with rounded corners, but not to set the image as the background. When I try android:drawableTop:#drawable/filename, the button is again converted to its default shape and text goes below the image, but I want the image as the background, so how to apply both the things(rounded corner and background image) to the button?
I have created an xml file named button_shape in drawable; the code for it is:
<?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:bottomLeftRadius="20dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="20dp"
android:topLeftRadius="20dp"
android:topRightRadius="20dp" />
<stroke android:width="3dp" android:color="#000000" />
</shape>
and the main xml file code where I have put the button is:
<Button
android:id="#+id/button1"
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_marginTop="179dp"
android:background="#drawable/button_shape"
android:text="Button"
android:textColor="#000000"
/>
Please help me with this.
use this in shape
solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
and imageview should be
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:scaleType="fitXY" android:background="#drawable/shape"
android:src="#drawable/yourimage" />
Use this background.xml put in Drowable and set on Button android:background="#drawable/ background" and ovel_shape is xml file in drawable where you can put code for rounded corners
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:id="#+id/rounded_corn"
android:drawable="#drawable/ovel_shape"/>
<item
android:id="#+id/background_img"
android:drawable="#drawable/image"/>
</layer-list>
