As you can see on the screenshots, I have a icon on the left side of this.
How can I draw a grey circle on the front of that left icon in the layout xml, as in following screenshot?
Screenshot
You can try this;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#BCBCBC" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="1dp" android:left="1dp" android:right="1dp" android:bottom="1dp" android:drawable="#drawable/your_cross_icon">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#BCBCBC" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
create this drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid
android:color="#666"/>
</shape>
then put it as background of the image view, and put the X as the src of imageview
The circle is the drawable that is behind the image.
This way you can reutilize the drawable and put in several icons

I have a bottom nav that had a shape corner and i want to make something above it and it should be curved to inside like this image
Create Drawable which have top corners as round shape
navigation_background.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="#android:color/white" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#android:color/holo_orange_dark" />
<corners
android:topLeftRadius="16dp"
android:topRightRadius="16dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Replace view background with navigation_background.xml to make view top corners as round.
<com.google.android.material.bottomnavigation.BottomNavigationView
android:background="#drawable/navigation_background"
... />
Am trying to achieve this without using image as background, wanted to be done in xlm drawable
Use this
<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">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:bottom="0dp"
android:left="-200dp"
android:right="-200dp"
android:top="-340dp">
<shape
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/dark_orange" />
</shape>
</item>
Change left-right margin as per your requirements. That will change curve.
I want to draw a circle of color 1 inside a circle of color 2. Both of them have stroke and its inside is transparent. This should be used as a background of a button.
Something like this (but green and red are next to each other - no gap in between. Sorry, I don't have any graphical program where I could draw them so they're next to each other.)
Is there a way how to do it in XML ?
I was thinking of doing it using shape XML but layers are scaled so layers would be on top of each other so only 1 color would be visible.
You use a layer list with insets in order to avoid the inner circle to lurk out from the outer circle, like this:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<stroke
android:width="4dp"
android:color="#android:color/holo_red_dark" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<inset android:inset="4dp">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<stroke
android:width="4dp"
android:color="#android:color/holo_green_dark" />
</shape>
</inset>
</item>
</layer-list>
You set the size and background of the button like this:
<Button
android:id="#+id/button"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:background="#drawable/red_green" />
It then looks like this:
Try something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<size android:height="10dp" android:width="10dp"/>
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#FF0000"
/>
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#00FF00"
/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
You can change the width and height of the size element to get a different ring width.
You can achieve this by defining two drawable resources both circle with different stroke colors and puting them in a layer-list drawable one on top of the other, with different ofsets which give then the effect you need:
Inner circle inner.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<stroke android:color="#color/colorRed"
android:width="2dp"/>
</shape>
Outer circle outer.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<stroke android:color="#color/colorGreen"
android:width="2dp"/>
</shape>
Button background background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/outer"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp"
android:bottom="0dp"
android:left="0dp"
android:gravity="center"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/inner"
android:right="4dp"
android:top="4dp"
android:bottom="4dp"
android:left="4dp"
android:gravity="center"/>
</layer-list>
And this is final result
I need to create a round corner border, where border with gradient.enter link description here is working.But My page is using a image as background which is also with gradient. I need to show background image from middle of the filed. I want to create just like below image:
round_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="4dp"
android:color="#color/transparent" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#374533"
android:centerColor="#432727"
android:endColor="#222430"
android:angle="135"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
round_border.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient
android:startColor="#efe301"
android:centerColor="#7dc17b"
android:endColor="#01dae6"
android:angle="180"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
result_drawable.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/round_border"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/round_background" />
</layer-list>
Here, you can set android:width="4dp" in round_background.xml to set size of your border. use result result_drawable.xml where you want..
Enjoy. :}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

How is it giving me a ring shape?
How layer-list works and What do top, right, bottom and left attributes of item tag do?
Cant we just use ring shape ?Why go for oval shape to make ring shape?
A layer list is drawable, called sequence of other drawables with <item> tag.
Here from your question the first <item> is inner oval shape & top, bottom, right & left are insets given to that item (just same as padding). Try to give width & height to first you can see inner oval shape with 4dp padding from outer oval.
Refer to this link for more detail about layer drawable http://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/LayerDrawable.html
Yes you can use ring shape to draw a ring like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="ring"
android:innerRadius="15dp"
android:thickness="10dp"
android:useLevel="false">
<solid android:color="#ff0000" />
</shape>
