Custom Drawable with icons on top and bottom in Andoid Studio

I want to create something like this images and i have a lot of drawables like this one. Please help. thanks
enter image description here

You can use below code for making border :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid
android:color="#color/white"/>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/app_color"/>
<corners
android:radius="#dimen/dp_10"/>
</shape>
And use imageView for TopLeft and BottomRigth corners. For making rounded shape of image you may also use cardView.

How to pass color to custom xml item in Android?

I have a custom shape for button's dashed border. With hardcoded color everything works as expected, but I need to pass color from outside. How can I do it?
Here is my xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid/>
<corners android:radius="16dip" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/blue"
android:dashWidth="3dp"
android:dashGap="3dp"
/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
and this is usage
android:background="#drawable/dashed_border_button"
I need to change border color from hardcoded to dynamic

I achieved the same by using another Drawable resource file wit the attribute Stroke - Color = "your color"
and then setting the background Drawable to new Drawable file
yourview.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.another);
This is because the method :
DrawableCompat.setTint(as.getBackground(),Color.BLUE);
Set even the solid fill color to the blue (here in this case) , which you don't want.
Hope it helps!!`

You need to get background() from your view and make
DrawableCompat.setTint(color, DrawableCompat.wrap(view.bacground())

How to glow effect behind the edit text like in the image?

I am trying to get a glow effect like the background for edittext
I tried doing it but the background is not as much effective as the image
<?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="#68F30606"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:left="1.7dp"
android:right="1.7dp"
android:top="1.7dp"
android:bottom="1.7dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#android:color/white"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Can someone help me to solve this mystery?

Then you will need to use the old-technique(kind of) of 9-Patch Drawing. I used to do it too. Examples are scarce because they are big, but there is documentation.
Documentation: https://developer.android.com/studio/write/draw9patch.
Also, if this helps you can check this too: Outer glow in edittext
To use the 9-Patch images in Xml to this (remember this is after you have created the 9-Patch Images):
Reference the drawable with the name but don't include .9.png (auto-complete in eclipse will take care of this)
Make sure you only have 1 image under the main /drawable folder (not a version for each dpi folder)
The image must be specified using :background, not :src (this got me stuck for a while)
android:background="#drawable/splash_logo"
Make sure the image and layout that contains it are using:
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"

Also, check this website out, it contains a lot of useful examples that the documentation doesn't provide:

Changing color of a portion in picture

I am doing such type of project, in my project, i want to change the color of only a portion of my picture, for example when I click on a button I want the blue become green, i want to know if there is any way to do that or it's impossible

To achieve the above feature, you could define a shape and place it above the button and then change the color onClick. A simple example is:
shape.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:topLeftRadius="4dp"
android:topRightRadius="4dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="4dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="4dp">
</corners>
<solid
android:color="#4848ea">
</solid>
</shape>
Now change the color of the shape using the following code.
GradientDrawable Shape = (GradientDrawable)shape.getBackground();
Shape.setColor(Color.GREEN);
Place the above code within the button onClick.

listview and round corner doesn't work

What I want:
I'am using a Listview and I want to use this view with round corners.
Situation:
A listview without round corners :-( .
I use different examples to define a customShape
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners
android:radius="30dp"/>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#000000" />
</shape>
If I apply this customShape to the listview items(Textview) every entry in Listview have round corners. It is crazy!!! So the customShape.xml works but not with the border of the listview.
Any idea???
regard marcel

Get view by id for the list view.
ListView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.custom_shape);
Remove the background settings in the xml .
Put the custom_shape.xml in drawable folder. Remove the stroke component from it as it is not needed to round the corners
