I have a shape rectangle in my drawable like this
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:radius="2dp"
android:topRightRadius="0dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="0dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"/>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#android:color/white"
/>
</shape>
How, can I hide bottom line ?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- inset is used to remove border from top, it can remove border from any other side-->
<inset xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:insetTop="-2dp">
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="#+id/rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#b7b7b7" />
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="5dp" android:bottomLeftRadius="5dp"/>
<solid android:color="#454444"/>
</shape>
</inset>
use this code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- the line -->
<item>
<shape>
<solid android:color="#yourColor"
/>
</shape>
</item>
<!-- This is full view -->
<item android:bottom="10dp">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#backGroundColor" />
</shape>
</item>
this will add a 10dp height line at bottom of your view , u can change size of the line with
<item android:bottom="10dp">
and change color too
good luck
I want to remove the peach solid color from interior portion and just want it at the border of top, left and right. The bottom color red is fine. I searched everywhere but they only suggested to use solid to overlap the whole red border.

This question already has answers here:
Is there an easy way to add a border to the top and bottom of an Android View?
(25 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I would like to add only a bottom and a top border on my Linearlayout.
I have tried to do this :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item
android:bottom="1dp"
android:top="1dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#000" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
But it add a border around the shape..
Could you help me please ?
I think you can create this drawable and use it as background:
<?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="#000"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="1dp" android:top="1dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Think of is as drawing a rectangle with border color first and then lay on top of it a rectangle with your background color leaving out 1dp on top and at the bottom.
Make this two file and put this code. you can set border top and bottom border,
main.xml
<TextView
android:text="This is textline"
android:background="#drawable/border_set"
/>
border_set.xml
This file located into full path project_root/res/drawable/border_set.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#FF000000" />
<solid android:color="#FFDDDDDD" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="1dp" android:bottom="1dp">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#000" />
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Here is the solution. It works even with transparent background.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:left="-2dp" android:right="-2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#color/borderColor" />
<solid android:color="#color/backgroundColor" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
I believe this is the simplest way:
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="2dp"
android:background="#000000" />
This is my version; top border and bottom border are visible, not showing the left or right borders. And the background is transparent.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp">
<item
android:left="-1dp"
android:right="-1dp"
android:top="-1dp"
android:bottom="1dp">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/BlueGrey_colorPrimary" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
A quick way to achieve this:
Add a Text View to the bottom and/or top of your layout.
Set the TextView's width to "match_parent"
Set the TextView's height to about "1dp" or find the thickness you would like
Set the TextView's background to the color you would like the border to be
I hope this helps!
You can follow this link Is there an easy way to add a border to the top and bottom of an Android View?
I expect that you are solve from this link.
also you can solve How to add border around linear layout except at the bottom?
Its simple. Draw 3 shapes like this.
<?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/menu_line_separator_in" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="1.5dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/menu_line_separator_out" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="1.5dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/menu_line_separator_out" />
</shape>
</item>

I use button with Font Awesome. When I try to set borders only on three sides of button, I see that border is all around my button. Here is my xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:top="1dip" android:bottom="1dip" android:left="1dip"><shape>
<solid android:color="#efeae0" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#d5cfc3" />
<corners android:topLeftRadius="15dp" />
</shape></item>
</selector>
How can I remove border from right side of button?
i am create button using below tool may useful to you :)
http://angrytools.com/android/button/
see this solution
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- This is the line -->
<item android:top="-2dp" android:left="-2dp" android:bottom="-2dp">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#21610B" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Try out the below code to set the border in your view.
<?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="#FF0000" />
<padding
//android:bottom="10dp" Remove this to avoid seeing the bottom border
android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
//android:top="10dp" Remove this to avoid seeing the top border
/>
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<padding
android:bottom="5dp"
android:left="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:top="5dp" />
<solid android:color="#666666" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
I need to create an android shape so that only the bottom has stroke (a dashed line). When I try the following, the stroke bisects the shape right through the center. Does anyone know how to get it right? the stroke needs to be the bottom line/border. I am using the shape as a background to a TextView. Please, never mind why I need it.
<?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="#1bd4f6" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="line" >
<padding android:bottom="1dp" />
<stroke
android:dashGap="10px"
android:dashWidth="10px"
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#ababb2" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
It's kind of a hack, but I think this is probably the best way to do it. The dashed line will always be on the bottom, regardless of the height.
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#1bd4f6" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="-2dp" android:right="-2dp" android:left="-2dp">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:dashGap="10px"
android:dashWidth="10px"
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#ababb2" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Explanation:
The second shape is transparent rectangle with a dashed outline. The key in making the border only appear along the bottom lies in the negative margins set the other sides. These negative margins "push" the dashed line outside the drawn area on those sides, leaving only the line along the bottom. One potential side-effect (which I haven't tried) is that, for views that draw outside their own bounds, the negative-margin borders may become visible.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:top="-6dp"
android:left="-6dp"
android:right="-6dp"
android:bottom="0dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#88FFFF00"/>
<stroke
android:width="5dp"
android:color="#FF000000"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
This does the trick...
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#YOUR_BOTTOM_LINE_COLOR"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="1.5dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#YOUR_BG_COLOR"/>
</shape>
</item>
I feel it is straightforward, without all this negative paddings or storks.
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#color/main_bg_color"/>
<item android:gravity="bottom">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size android:height="5dp"/>
<solid android:color="#color/bottom_bar_color"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
This answer is for those google searchers who want to show dotted bottom border of EditText like here
Create dotted.xml inside drawable folder and paste these
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:bottom="1dp"
android:left="-2dp"
android:right="-2dp"
android:top="-2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="0.5dp"
android:color="#android:color/black" />
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#030310"
android:dashGap="5dp"
android:dashWidth="5dp" />
<padding
android:bottom="5dp"
android:left="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:top="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Then simply set the android:background attribute to dotted.xml we just created. Your EditText looks like this.
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Some Text"
android:background="#drawable/dotted" />
Try next xml drawable code:
<layer-list>
<item android:top="-2dp" android:right="-2dp" android:left="-2dp">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#fff" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
I think you do not need to use shape if I understood you.
If you are looking as shown in following image then use following layout.
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:background="#1bd4f6"
android:paddingBottom="4dp" >
<TextView
android:layout_width="200dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#ababb2"
android:padding="5dp"
android:text="Hello Android" />
</RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
EDIT
play with these properties you will get result
android:top="dimension"
android:right="dimension"
android:bottom="dimension"
android:left="dimension"
try like this
<?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="#1bd4f6" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="20px"
android:left="0px">
<shape android:shape="line" >
<padding android:bottom="1dp" />
<stroke
android:dashGap="10px"
android:dashWidth="10px"
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#ababb2" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
A Simple solution :
Create a drawable file as edittext_stroke.xml in drawable folder.
Add the below code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="line"
>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#android:color/white" >
</stroke>
</shape>
In layout file , add the drawable to edittext as
android:drawableBottom="#drawable/edittext_stroke"
<EditText
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:drawableBottom="#drawable/edittext_stroke"
/>
Usually for similar tasks - I created layer-list drawable like this one:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/underlineColor"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="3dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/buttonColor"/>
</shape>
</item>
The idea is that first you draw the rectangle with underlineColor and then on top of this one you draw another rectangle with the actual buttonColor but applying bottomPadding. It always works.
But when I needed to have buttonColor to be transparent I couldn't use the above drawable. I found one more solution
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/white_box" android:gravity="bottom" android:height="2dp"/>
</layer-list>
(as you can see here the mainButtonColor is transparent and white_box is just a simple rectangle drawable with white Solid)
use this xml change the color with your choice.
<item>
<layer-list>
<item>
<shape>
<solid android:color="#color/gray_500" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- CONTENT LAYER -->
<item android:bottom="2dp" >
<shape>
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
In Case if you want programmatically
public static Drawable getStorkLineDrawable(#ColorInt int colorStrok, int iSize, int left, int top, int right, int bottom)
{
GradientDrawable gradientDrawable = new GradientDrawable();
gradientDrawable.setShape(GradientDrawable.RECTANGLE);
gradientDrawable.setStroke(iSize, colorStrok);
LayerDrawable layerDrawable = new LayerDrawable(new Drawable[]{gradientDrawable});
layerDrawable.setLayerInset(0, left, top, right, bottom);
return layerDrawable;
}
call this method like
Drawable yourLineDrawable= getStorkLineDrawable(yourColor, iSize, -iSize, -iSize, -iSize, 0);
easiest way to do this is put after that view where you want bottom border
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:background="#color/colorPrimary" />
This worked best for me:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:top="-5dp" android:left="-5dp" android:right="-5dp" android:bottom="0dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="4dp" android:color="#ff0000"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Shows the line on the bottom only. You can easily change with stroke width to size you like and also update the top, left, right on the accordingly.
Simply add -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!--Minus (-) how much dp you gave in the stroke width from left right top-->
<item android:left="-10dp" android:right="-10dp" android:top="-10dp">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:dashGap="10dp"
android:dashWidth="10dp"
android:width="10dp"
android:color="#android:color/holo_red_dark" />
<!--This is the main background -->
<solid android:color="#FFDDDDDD" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Preview -
it is completely transparent Edittext with transparent background.
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/transparent" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="-3dp" android:right="-3dp" android:left="-3dp">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/bottomline" />
</shape>
</item>
A Simple solution :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:bottom="-1dp"
android:left="-1dp"
android:right="-1dp"
android:top="-1dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#AARRGGBB" />
<stroke
android:width="5dp"
android:color="#android:color/red"
android:dashWidth="10dp"
android:dashGap="12dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
And finally we have something like that :)
This is rectangular background with bottom stroke
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
<solid android:color="#f2f4f5" />
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="#002f34" />
<padding android:bottom="4dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
<solid android:color="#f2f4f5" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
