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">

Android : How to create oval size drawable resouce?

I am trying to create drawable resource oval com rectangle shape? I want exact the below shape
But I am getting the follow :
what I'm using:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<gradient
android:startColor="#36D53D"
android:centerColor="#36D53D"
android:endColor="#36D53D"
android:angle="90"/>
<padding android:left="3dp"
android:top="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:bottom="5dp" />
<corners android:radius="160dp"></corners>
</shape>
how to create the shape what I want? Thank you in advance

Try this one for oval.
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval" >
<!-- fill/color -->
<solid
android:color="#ff0000"/>
<!-- Control the width and height of the shape -->
<size
android:width="120dp"
android:height="70dp"/>
</shape>
Rectangle with rounded corner
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<!-- fill/color -->
<solid
android:color="#ff0000"/>
<!-- Control the width and height of the shape -->
<size
android:width="200dp"
android:height="70dp"/>
<!-- Control the radius of each corners -->
<corners
android:topLeftRadius="30dp"
android:topRightRadius="15dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="15dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"/>
</shape>

Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#189B5F" />
<corners
android:topLeftRadius="15dp"
android:topRightRadius="15dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="15dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
/>
</shape>

use shape drawable and for android:shape give rectangle
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
</shape>
increase the corner dp value can keep checking. i think giving around 20-25dp for all corners will give you that shape. And for correction it is not oval it is rounded rectangle.

Layout with different colors

I'd like to have a background color of a RelativeLayout similar to that of an image shown in the link below. Ignore the black strip in the bottom half of the image.
I don't want to use the image as a background of the layout. Can you give me an idea of how to proceed?

You can use gradient. Set different gradient in selector as you want. Done!
GradientDrawable.class
This is what you want, set your colors. Enjoy!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:bottom="30dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners
android:topRightRadius="8dip"
android:topLeftRadius="8dip" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#030303"
android:endColor="#3B3B3B"
android:angle="270" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="30dp" >
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="8dip"
android:bottomRightRadius="8dip" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#4B5057"
android:endColor="#4B5059"
android:angle="270" />
<size android:height="30dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

just try with shape file structure. I think this may give the solution.

//save this below code as gradient and use as background of your layout as
android:background="#drawable/gradient"
//gradient.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient android:startColor="#232323" android:endColor="#4B5059"
android:angle="270"/>
</shape>
