I want to create a custom shaped button like this:
I'm able to achieve a similar thing by using a RelativeLayout and overlapping a rectangle and a circle. But that way, I have to add 2 onClickListaners, one for each shape.
Is there a way in android ( other than using an image, because in image the entire rectangular view will be clickable and not just the button ) to create such a design using a single XML layout file ??
you won't have to make two listener just make one listener for the RelativeLayout

I'm new in android design.
I want to create a view like this:
In fact, I want to create two things:
A header like this image header that has an image with a transparent overlay.
Like my header, I want to create recyclerview items, with image and transparent overlay too.
It is necessary to mention that, I want to use Picasso library to show my images.
How to I create this.
Thanks a lot.
For grid element you can use RelativeLayout. On the first layer put ImageView with your image, above this you can put View with overlay background (for example semi-transparent black color), and then you can add your text. If you want to create text like on your image (two TextViews above center) you can put empty View element with some height (this height will be like margin between two TextViews) and in top text add layoutAbove="centerViewId" and in bottom text: layoutBelow="centerViewId". I can paste xml code if you want, but I think in this way will teach you more.
I am working with a relative layout in Android. I want to have a glow effect when I click on a relative layout on screen. How to archive it?
From what you have posted it seems you want your layout to have two different backgrounds depending on whether it has been clicked or not.
You achieve this by setting a selector to background

I'm trying to build an Android app where I would like to display some Buttons in various places, as in the demo image attached.
The challenge here is creating the custom buttons and arranging them.
As for the custom Buttons, I guess I could achieve that using CustomViews or a simple button with a Custom Drawable as Background.
Are these the right points to start, any other ideas?
On arranging them, I have no clue how to achieve that.
As Android_Crazy and Closeratio have already said, a RelativeLayout is the most suitable option for custom placement of buttons in general. However, for the exact placement of buttons pictured in your example, a LinearLayout would work just fine.
In a LinearLayout you may place views under or above eachother (with android:orientation = "vertical", relevant for your example) or next to each other (android:orientation = "horizontal"). You can also add margin to your views to alter the horizontal position (layout_marginLeft or layout_marginRight) or the vertical position (layout_marginTop or layout_marginBottom).
As for the buttons' appearance, I always use custom background drawables, usually with a custom xml to add a different drawable for when the button is being pressed or selected.

Is there a way to create a layout like this?
You can turn any ImageView into a button by setting an onClickListener on it.
Edit to better answer the question: The layout you show can be created by putting a bunch of ImageViews in a horizontal LinearLayout. The LinearLayout has a blue background. The images that provide the sources for the ImageViews have a transparent background.
Buttons are just TextViews extensions. You just have to change its background with a xml drawable which has three states
I'm working on my first Android application and I have a pretty good idea of what I want my application to look like, I'm just not sure how to create the view.
I have a Listview with several items, I then want users to click on an item then get a detail page. I want my detail page to look like this.
I know how to get the background. What I'm trying to figure out is what's the best way to create that rounded, see-through table with a border. Any ideas?
The easiest way would be to create a linear layout with vertical orientation and define a drawable shape resource and set the corners to have a radius to match what you like. Then add your 2 text views and an image view and lines for the separators.
