How to have bottom line programmatically just like in default edittext with gradientdrawable in android

It will draw a bottom underline and i want to simply achieve below xml code by using gradientdrawable, I am trying to have custom edit text class which used in xml and set some property like bottom line color or others.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:left="-6dp"
android:right="-6dp"
android:top="-6dp">
<shape>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#000" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

First create gradient file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient android:angle="180" android:startColor="#7c0000" android:endColor="#ff9a9a"/>
</shape>
and than add it here :
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#android:color/white"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/gradient" android:gravity="bottom" android:height="2dp"/>
</layer-list>

Try this create a background in res/drawable folder and set app:tabBackground="#drawable/selector"
make your like this Tablayout
<android.support.design.widget.TabLayout
android:id="#+id/detail_tabs"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
app:tabSelectedTextColor="#color/colorPrimary"
app:tabIndicatorHeight="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:tabMode="scrollable"
app:tabBackground="#drawable/selector" />
Here selector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_selected="true" android:state_pressed="false">
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:top="3dp" android:left="-5dp" android:right="-5dp" android:bottom="-5dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/colorWhite"/>
<stroke android:color="#color/colorPrimary" android:width="2dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
<item android:state_selected="true" android:state_pressed="true">
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:top="3dp" android:left="-5dp" android:right="-5dp" android:bottom="-5dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/colorWhite"/>
<stroke android:color="#color/colorPrimary" android:width="2dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
</selector>

app:tabIndicatorGravity="top"
Its very simple now to show the indicator at the top with this.

Creating this shape (Attached picture) in Android XML?

I know this question is very brief but how can I create this shape in XML for an Android Studio project?
It seems like I can create a rectangle and then remove a semi circle portion from it but achieving that effect in XML seems very difficult. Has anyone done this before?

Create such background with pure xml drawables is always tricky, but possible.
I've created button you need in xml. Add this files to your drawable folder:
circle.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<!-- inset - moves circle to the left-->
<inset android:insetLeft="-150dp">
<shape android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="7"
android:innerRadius="0dp"
android:useLevel="false"
>
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#000000"/>
<solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
</shape>
</inset>
</item>
</selector>
custom_button_default.xml
<?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="#00ff00"/>
<stroke
android:color="#000000"
android:width="2dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/circle" />
</layer-list>
custom_button_pressed.xml
<?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="#dddddd"/>
<stroke
android:color="#000000"
android:width="2dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/circle" />
</layer-list>
custom_button_selector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#drawable/custom_button_pressed" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/custom_button_default"/>
</selector>
Set custom_button_selector drawable as a background of your view in layout:
<Button
android:layout_width="150dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:background="#drawable/custom_button_selector"
/>
You probably will have to adjust circle insetLeft value and button width, height in layout. Would be better to have this variables defined in values/dimens.xml.
Default state:
Pressed state:
I've tested it on Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 - button background looks the same.

Possible to show ?android:attr/selectableItemBackground on short touches?

When using the selectableItemBackground attribute for "touch ripple effects", it seems that normal touches are too fast for the "touch ripple" to appear. I have to touch a bit longer and everything works as it should. Is it possible to force this effect some how, even on short touches?

I should suggest to you that create a custom ripple effect.

Shape with selector as color doesn't works

I want to create a shape with selector as solid color.
On Android 5.0+, this code works perfectly, but on 4.X, it doesn't works.
shape.xml :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/my_selector"/>
<size android:height="40dp" android:width="40dp"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
my_selector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:color="#color/color_1"
android:state_checked="false"/>
<item
android:color="#color/color_2"
android:state_checked="true"/>
</selector>
This drawable is applied to CheckBox background.

you should change order to write state like this and use your shape in item:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="true">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/my_selector"/>
<size android:height="40dp" android:width="40dp"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/my_deselec"/>
<size android:height="40dp" android:width="40dp"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>

Use in this manner
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
<shape>.......</shape>
</item>
