how to make specific button side curved

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/white" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="30dp"
android:topLeftRadius="30dp" />
</shape>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_list"
android:layout_width="#dimen/width_100dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/my_background"/>
Tried the above code but it does not work for me. do i need to make a custom class extending button class.

Very Easy!, Take CardView as root element. CardView rounds child elements edges according to itself.
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_margin="20dp"
app:cardCornerRadius="25dp"
app:cardElevation="10dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/app_name" />
<TextView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#ecb8ff"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/app_name" />
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
Output:
Also if you need TabLayout. You can see this answer

Try this it's a little tricky but it works
<?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="#FFF" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="500dp"
android:topLeftRadius="0dp"
android:topRightRadius="500dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

How to create android button background svg with elevation?

I have been trying to achieve button like in attached image & for that I have created gradient SVG with shadow so that it looks like elevation but when this svg applied to button as background drawable it looks flat & ripple effect is also gone.
I want to achieve same button as below image :
And here is my code :
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_login"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="52dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="35dp"
android:enabled="false"
android:elevation="10dp"
android:translationZ="10dp"
android:stateListAnimator="#null"
android:background="#drawable/bg_gradient"
android:text="#string/btn_txt_login"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textSize="18sp" />
I'm using SVG file for creating background gradient with rounded border. Any help would be appreciated.

I have a solution for you.
Add this into your build.gradle(Module:app) dependency:
implementation 'com.android.support:cardview-v7:27.1.1'
Now use CardView layout instead of Button:
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"
android:clickable="true"
card_view:cardCornerRadius="10dp"
card_view:cardElevation="4dp">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:text="LOGIN"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:background="#drawable/gradient"/>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
Create gradient.xml file into drawable folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:startColor="#8b0ab7"
android:endColor="#0b85d0"
android:angle="0"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp"/>
</shape>

Add these attributes, if still it doesn't work use cardview
android:clipChildren="false"
android:clipToPadding="false"
and here is your code
<Button android:id="#+id/btn_login"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="52dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="35dp"
android:enabled="false"
android:elevation="10dp"
android:translationZ="10dp"
android:stateListAnimator="#null"
android:clipChildren="false"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:background="#drawable/bg_gradient"
android:text="#string/btn_txt_login"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textSize="18sp" />

Please try with using the following drawable content.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#color/colorDefaultButtonRipple">
<item>
<layer-list>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#android:color/darker_gray" />
<corners android:radius="15dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="2dp" android:left="2dp">
<shape>
<gradient android:angle="0" android:endColor="#5789bc" android:startColor="#8e6fa6" />
<corners android:radius="15dp" />
<padding android:bottom="10dp" android:left="10dp" android:right="10dp" android:top="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
</ripple>

Is there a way to create this on XML ? 2 colors box

Is there a way to create these two boxes with XML only (beside the icon of course)
The tob box has rounded bordered around it and shadow but inside it divided to two parts which one is pink background and one is white background (without stroke between them)

Create 2 XML drawables
rect_colored.xml
<shape android:shape="rectangle"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/colorAccent"/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="5dp"
android:topRightRadius="5dp"/>
</shape>
rect_white.xml
<shape android:shape="rectangle"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<stroke android:color="#color/colorPrimaryDark"
android:width="2dp"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
</shape>
Position the drawables appropriately
This will work differently with different root views. I'm using ConstraintLayout for simplicity
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_marginRight="8dp"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:background="#drawable/rect_white"
android:id="#+id/frameLayout"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
android:layout_marginBottom="8dp">
<!--Content here-->
</FrameLayout>
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="36dp"
android:layout_height="36dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="0dp"
android:layout_marginRight="2dp"
android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
android:background="#drawable/rect_colored"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="#+id/frameLayout"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="#+id/frameLayout"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="#+id/frameLayout">
<!--Content here-->
</FrameLayout>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
The output

Just use a LayerList with the shapes you need nested. May take a little tweaking, but it is simple enough. You can even add in your bitmaps for the left icon if you like. Just make your layers, and adjust from the sides and handle your corners.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:left="50dp">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#0000FF" />
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="20dp" android:topRightRadius="20dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:right="50dp">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<corners android:bottomLeftRadius="20dp" android:topLeftRadius="20dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

Here simply you create a one xml file & drawable file to create shape & border.
MyActivity.Xml
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/ll_mobile_img"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"

<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/rr_verification_code"
android:layout_width="120dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="0.3">
<EditText
android:id="#+id/et_verification_code"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/ractangle_mobile_white_border"

android:layout_gravity="center"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="#string/globe"
android:textColor="#color/blue_font_color"
android:textSize="20dp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
Drawable:- ractangle_mobile_white_border.xml
[![<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Thanks, Guys For helping.
Mixing code from Add drop shadow effects to EditText Field and answer from babar sanah I was able to find the solution.
My solution is as below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- most important in order of layers -->
<!-- Bottom right side 2dp Shadow -->

android:startColor="#666666" />
</shape>

Thanks alot for the help it means a lot to me.

Why you didn't try gradient? If it is possible please let me know..
<gradient
android:angle="270"
android:centerColor="#color/shadow_alpha"
android:endColor="#color/shadow_alpha1"
android:startColor="#color/shadow_alpha2" />
Define the colors as per your need..

create an xml shape.xml put in drawable folders and give your edit text background
android:background="#drawable/shape"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle"
android:padding="10dp">
<!-- you can use any color you want I used here gray color-->
<gradient android:angle="-90"
android:endColor="#436EEE"
android:startColor="#436EEE"
android:centerColor="#4876FF" />
</shape>

Android: Round Image inside ring shape

I want to create a button with image inside it as shown at the bottom of this pic https://trianglewiki.org/RGreenway_App/_files/android.jpg/_info/. I am trying using layer-list and shape drawables and able to create buttons very similar. My problem is that my image is not scaling inside the button as I would like. The ring shape is coming on the top of the image but image is not inside it.
I want the image to be completely inside the ring. I think there is something wrong with the parameters values I am giving. But it could be I am not doing it the proper way.
Can somebody check my xml files and see what is the problem or provide me with any information how to do it so that I get the same effect in the button as in the link above. Thanks

You are overcomplicating this is if I understand your question. Look to here for an answer. It's the trick I have used in the past.
