How to create like this shadow in android side drawer?
Please help.
I am adding new layout as above how to add
1. Create a custom drawable for shadow e.g shadow_right.xml
shadow_right.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:bottom="2dp"
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="0dp" />
<!-- change angle value below and see the effect-->
<gradient
android:angle="0"
android:centerColor="#14000000"
android:endColor="#44000000"
android:gradientRadius="2" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
2. Add drawable i.e. shadow_right as a background
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/white">
<View
android:id="#+id/viewRight"
android:layout_width="10dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:background="#drawable/shadow_right"
android:visibility="visible" />
</RelativeLayout>
3. Replace the color values in shadow_right.xml

I would like to add a custom layout an edge with shadow, exactly one like this:
http://inloop.github.io/shadow4android/
The problem is that I use this to add a semi / transparent background color: (corners_main_layout.xml)
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="6dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/bright_foreground_disabled_material_dark" />
</shape>
So I can not use for background 9-patch.
Is there any way to 9-patch with shadows and transparent background color?
If not .... How could make the effect?
PS: I have seen many custom XML to add shadows, but all are very poor.
Here example:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/activity_recover_pass"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:paddingBottom="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="#dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
tools:context="...RecoverPassActivity"
android:background="#mipmap/fondo_01"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/corners_main_layout">
</LinearLayout>
I Need shadow border rectangle White (it is transparent) similar to example 9-patch
------------EDIT---------------
I modified mi corners_main_layout.xml:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="6dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/bright_foreground_disabled_material_dark" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/shadow_custom" />
and result :-( :
yeah! i have solution!
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners android:radius="6dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/bright_foreground_disabled_material_dark" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/shadow_custom_9patch"/>
</layer-list>
thanks for help!
I need to make the below shape using xml.
I have created an oval shape using below xml code.
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- This is the line -->
<item android:height="400dp"><shape
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#000000" />
</shape></item>
</layer-list>
But I am not able to draw a line and circle together. Please help me to make the above shape using xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/comment_background"/>
<stroke android:color="#color/gray" android:width="0.5dp"/>
</shape>
This is Code for Creating Circle shape in android
Finally I have come with a solution after little googling.
Followed steps:-
1.Created a xml file called dot.xml in drawable folder to draw a dot or filled circle.
//Dot.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval" >
<solid android:color="#color/colorTimeline" />
</shape>
2.Inserted below code into layout file.
<View
android:id="#+id/v1"
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:background="#color/colorTimeline"
android:contentDescription="ad"
android:layout_marginStart="10dp"/>
<View
android:id="#+id/v2"
android:layout_width="16dp"
android:layout_height="16dp"
android:background="#drawable/dot"
android:contentDescription="f"
android:layout_marginStart="3dp"
android:layout_below="#id/v1"
android:layout_marginEnd="24dp"/>
<View
android:id="#+id/v3"
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:background="#color/colorTimeline"
android:contentDescription="ad"
android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
android:layout_below="#id/v2"/>

My eyes bleeding, when i see your solution, sorry. I had to create and show you this one. Remember this example works only for known size of view. If you want to use dynamic values create my example drawable programatically.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<!-- VERTICAL LINE -->
<item
android:left="9dp"
android:right="9dp">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="#FF0000" />
<size
android:width="2dp"
android:height="200dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- OVAL -->
<item
android:top="90dp"
android:bottom="90dp">
<shape
android:shape="oval">
<solid
android:color="#FF0000" />
<size
android:width="20dp"
android:height="20dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
If you need any explanation just let me know.

I want to know how to add a shadow layer to any general View in android. for eg: suppose i have a layout xml, showing something like this..
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
<Button....
...
</LinearLayout>
Now when it is displayed I want to have a shadow around it.
The best way to create a shadow is to use a 9patch image as the
background of the view (or a ViewGroup that wraps the view).
The first step is to create a png image with a shadow around it. I
used photoshop to create such an image. Its really simple.
Create a new image with Photoshop.
Add a layer and create a black square of 4x4.
Create a shadow on the layer by selecting the layer in layer
explorer and clicking on a button titled fx and choosing drop shadow.
Export the image as png.
The next step is to create 9-patch drawables from this image.
Open draw9patch from android-sdk/tools
Open the image in draw9patch
Create 4 black lines on the four sides of the square like the
following and then save the image as shadow.9.png.
Now you can add this shadow as the background of the views you want to
add the shadow to. Add shadow.9.png to res/drawables. Now add it
as a background:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/shadow"
android:paddingBottom="5px"
android:paddingLeft="6px"
android:paddingRight="5px"
android:paddingTop="5px"
>
I recently wrote a blog post that explains this in detail and
includes the 9patch image that I use for creating the shadow.
Assuming u would use a linear layout(i have considered a vertical linear layout)..and have a view just below your linear layout.Now for this view provide a start colour and end colour..
I also wanted to get this thing,its working for me..If you need a even better effect,then just work around the start and end colour.

android:angle="270"
>
</gradient>
</shape>
I tried to post an image which i have it after using the above code,but stackoverflow doesnot allow me coz i dont have reputation..Sorry about that.
You can use elevation, available since API level 21
The elevation of a view, represented by the Z property, determines the
visual appearance of its shadow: views with higher Z values cast
larger, softer shadows. Views with higher Z values occlude views with
lower Z values; however, the Z value of a view does not affect the
view's size. To set the elevation of a view:
in a layout definition, use the
android:elevation
attribute. To set the elevation of a view in the code of an activity,
use the
View.setElevation()
method.

Here's my cheesy version of the solution...This is the modification of the solution found
here
I didn't like how the corners look so I faded all of them...
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!--Layer 0-->
<!--Layer 1-->
<!--Layer 2-->
<!--Layer 3-->
<!--Layer 4 (content background)-->
<!-- dropshadow -->

android:endColor="#color/white"

There are a simple trick, using two views that form the shadow.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:background="#CC55CC">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TableLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:stretchColumns="0">
<TableRow>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFFFFF"
android:text="#string/hello" />
</LinearLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="5dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:background="#55000000"/>
</TableRow>
</TableLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="5dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:background="#55000000"/>
</LinearLayout>
</FrameLayout>
Hope this help.
Create card_background.xml in the res/drawable folder with the following code:
<?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="#BDBDBD"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp"
android:bottom="2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Then add the following code to the element to which you want the card layout
android:background="#drawable/card_background"
the following line defines the color of the shadow for the card
<solid android:color="#BDBDBD"/>
</LinearLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="2dp"
android:background="#color/dropShadow" />
Use Just Below the LinearLayout
Another Method
create "rounded_corner_bg.xml" in /drawable folder
<?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="#color/primaryColor" />
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:bottom="2dp"
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#F7F7F7" />
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
To use this Layout android:background="#drawable/rounded_corner_bg"
