i tried with this solution.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><item android:right="100dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size android:height="100dp" android:width="100dp"/>
<solid android:color="#android:color/black"/>

<solid android:color="#android:color/holo_green_light"/>
</shape></item></layer-list>
but it doesnt have middle cut between 2 shapes.also given shape should work with any width .so dont want do define any width restrictions
result1

Try this...
use this style
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFCD80"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<rotate android:fromDegrees="45" android:toDegrees="0" android:pivotX="20%" android:pivotY="10%" >
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#FF0000" />
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
layout
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:gravity="center"
tools:context=".game.GameActionActivity" >
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/button_style_twocolor_center_crossline" />
</RelativeLayout>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<path

In xml file

Shape layer-list composition

My goal is to have a drawable (shape) with this result:
What i tried so far:
triangle.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="45"
android:toDegrees="45"
android:pivotX="87%"
android:pivotY="140%"
>
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:height="24dp"
android:width="24dp"
/>
<solid
android:color="#color/green" />
<corners android:radius="1dp" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
</layer-list>
result_shape.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/triangle" />
<item
android:left="24dp"
>
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:height="24dp"
android:width="40dp"
/>
<solid
android:color="#color/c_white" />
<corners android:radius="1dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
As result im getting the rectangle not aligned with the triangle and the triangle is now a rectangle with some rotation.
How can I represent this image as drawable using shapes and layer-list ?

You can try using vector to achieve what you want:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="150dp"
android:height="50dp"
android:viewportHeight="50"
android:viewportWidth="150">
<path
android:fillColor="#ff008800"
android:pathData="M0,25 50,50 50,0z" />
<path
android:fillColor="#ffbb0000"
android:pathData="M50,0 50,50 150,50 150,0z" />
</vector>
Here is the result using it as background for a TextView:

How to create rectangle background slightly bend from one side

Hi I want to draw a slightly bend divider line between two horizontally placed textview. I don't want to put any type of image in background. I have tried using xml drawable but my code doesn't work .
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="100dp"
android:height="40dp" />
<solid android:color="#ff0000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:right="100dp"
android:left="-180dp"
android:top="-25dp"
android:bottom="-42dp">
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="15">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
I want to design the layout showing in image.

You could create VectorDrawable in this case. Note that in the pre-lollipop versions the images would be generated anyway, otherwise use srcCompat.
Your vector drawable could look like this:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:width="36dp"
android:height="24dp"
android:viewportWidth="36.0"
android:viewportHeight="24.0">
<path
android:fillColor="#FF0"
android:pathData="M0,0 L0,24 L20,24 L36,0 L0,0 Z"/>
To provide more accuracy according to your needs you should edit it yourself

Simple start

You can create that shape like this way
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:id="#+id/activity_main"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/white"
>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/banner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="TADAA!!!"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingLeft="5dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/black"
android:background="#drawable/myshape"
/>
</LinearLayout>
myshape.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="100dp"
android:height="40dp" />
<solid android:color="#ff0" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:right="100dp"
android:left="100dp"
android:top="-100dp"
android:bottom="-100dp">
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="45">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
<item
android:right="-100dp"
android:left="100dp"
android:top="-100dp"
android:bottom="-100dp">
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="45">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
</layer-list>

Output
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

use this xml as background in your radio button .....
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<stroke android:color="#1E90FF" android:width="10dp" />
<solid android:color="#87CEEB"/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Note:- I think your issue happened because of padding in round.xml
Output when unchecked ...
Output when checked ...
