Change background style of a menu - android

I have a menu and I would like to apply the following background style:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="10dip" />
<stroke android:color="#color/pink"
android:width="6dip"></stroke>
<solid android:color="#color/white"></solid>
</shape>
I have a Java class just to treat the operations related with the menu. This class extends ActionBarActivity.
The code of my menu is the following:
<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
tools:context="com.android.ExtendedActivity">
<item android:id="#+id/action_share"
android:title="Share"
android:orderInCategory="100"/>
<item android:id="#+id/action_about"
android:title="About"
android:orderInCategory="100"/>
</menu>
Does anyone know how can I set that background style to my menu?

In your style you will have something like this
<style name="YourTheme.Main" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
... <item name="android:activatedBackgroundIndicator">#drawable/selectable_background</item> ... </style>
and in your drawable something like
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:drawable="#color/your_color" android:state_pressed="true"/> <item android:drawable="#drawable/selected_background" android:state_selected="true"/> <item android:drawable="#drawable/selected_background" android:state_checked="true"/> </selector>
and finally you can use your backgroud as a selected_background like this
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" > <corners android:radius="10dip" /> <stroke android:color="#color/pink" android:width="6dip"></stroke> <solid android:color="#color/white"></solid> </shape>.
I'm so sorry for the very simplified explanation but without a full code demo app is very tricky! I hope this help :-)

TextInputLayout with outline but transparent background

If boxBackgroundColor is transparent then boxStroke is invisible
<style name="OutlinedRoundedBox" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox">
<item name="boxBackgroundColor">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="boxStrokeColor">#android:color/white</item>
<item name="boxStrokeWidth">4dp</item>
</style>
So is it only possible to have transparent TextInputLayout without outline using custom background?
E.g.:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/colorEditTextOutline" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
If you had posted a design for it then it would have been easier understand. For this solution If I understand you correctly, you need to add these two things
In style add:
<style name="InputLayoutStyle" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.TextInputLayout.OutlinedBox.Dense">
<item name="boxStrokeColor">#color/text_input_box</item>
</style>
Add color resource:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:color="#color/red_bright" android:state_focused="true" />
<item android:color="#color/red_bright" android:state_hovered="true" />
<item android:color="#color/red_bright" />
</selector>
This solution will have something like this if this is what you want

Add custom shape ripple with selector on navigationview menu item

I want to add a ripple effect with rounded corners rectangle with a selector for navigation view item. But it keeps adding the gray rectangle ripple effect.
navigation view
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="#+id/navigation_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="bottom"
android:layout_marginStart="8dp"
android:layout_marginTop="8dp"
android:layout_marginEnd="8dp"
app:itemIconTint="#color/drawer_item"
app:itemTextColor="#color/drawer_item"
app:itemBackground="#drawable/drawer_item_bg"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:menu="#menu/bottom_app_bar_menu"/>
drawer_item_bg.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="true" android:drawable="#drawable/drawer_selected_item_bg"/>
<item android:state_checked="false" android:drawable="#android:color/transparent"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#drawable/custom_ripple_navitem"/>
<item android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="#drawable/custom_ripple_navitem"/>
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="#drawable/custom_ripple_navitem"/>
custom_ripple_navitem.xml
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#360074FF">
<item android:id="#android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="8dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
The result is
With the Material Components you can use something like:
<com.google.android.material.navigation.NavigationView
app:itemShapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.NavItem.Rounded"
app:itemShapeFillColor="#color/selector_navitem"
android:theme="#style/ThemeOverlay.NavItem.Ripple"
../>
With the app:itemShapeAppearanceOverlay attribute you can define a custom shape for the each item:
<style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.NavItem.Rounded" parent="">
<item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
<item name="cornerSize">8dp</item>
</style>
With the app:itemShapeFillColor attribute you can define the color used to fill the shape:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:alpha="0.50" android:color="#color/primaryColor" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:alpha="0.12" android:color="#color/primaryColor" android:state_activated="true"/>
<item android:alpha="0.12" android:color="#color/primaryColor" android:state_checked="true"/>
<item android:color="#android:color/transparent"/>
</selector>
Finally use the android:theme to override the color used by the ripple.
<style name="ThemeOverlay.NavItem.Ripple" parent="">
<item name="android:colorControlHighlight">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
Note: it requires the version 1.1.0 of the Material Components library.
"Solution"
I started experimenting with ripple effect when I found this question, and after some time I finished with this code.
Note: It is not real ripple effect, just a fake one. Let me know if you'll make an improved version of it.
#layout/your_layout.xml
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
...
android:theme="#style/Widget_NavigationItem_NoRipple"
app:itemBackground="#drawable/drawer_item_background"/>
#values/styles.xml
<style name="Widget_NavigationItem_NoRipple">
<item name="android:colorControlHighlight">#android:color/transparent</item>
</style>
#drawable/drawer_item_background.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/drawer_item_shape" android:state_checked="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/drawer_item_ripple" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#android:color/transparent" android:state_pressed="false"/>
</selector>
#drawable/drawer_item_shape
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

Not able to change radio button circle color in android

I am using radioButton in my app but by default my radioButton color is black and when I select it that turns to color accent color that I have mentioned in my color.xml but I want to change radioButton initial color and selected color to white color. How I am able to do so. I tried background color but it changes background color property. Please help.
First Put this code in style.xml
<!-- custom style -->
<style name="radionbutton"
parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.CompoundButton.RadioButton">
<item name="android:button">#drawable/rb_drawable</item>
<item name="android:windowIsTranslucent">true</item>
<item name="android:windowBackground">#android:color/transparent</item>
<item name="android:windowContentOverlay">#null</item>
<item name="android:windowNoTitle">true</item>
<item name="android:windowIsFloating">false</item>
<item name="android:backgroundDimEnabled">true</item>
</style>
Now make rb_drawable.xml in drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/radio_unchecked" android:state_checked="false" android:state_focused="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/radio_unchecked" android:state_checked="false" android:state_focused="false"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/radio_checked" android:state_checked="true" android:state_focused="true"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/radio_checked" android:state_checked="true" android:state_focused="false"/>
</selector>
Now make 2 more files for radio button check/uncheck in drawable folder
radio_unchecked.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#color/colorAccent"/>
<size android:width="30dp" android:height="30dp"/>
</shape>
radio_checked.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#color/colorAccent"/>
<size android:width="30dp" android:height="30dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="5dp" android:bottom="5dp" android:left="5dp" android:right="5dp">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:width="1dp" android:color="#color/colorAccent"/>
<size android:width="10dp" android:height="10dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Finally change style of radio button in layout xml
<RadioButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
style="#style/radionbutton"
android:checked="false"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>

how to fix the button from rectangle to rounded rectangle?

I can find many rounded-rectangle button but it is not working to me.
What do I miss?
It is layout.xml:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="2"
android:background="#ebf1ff"
android:orientation="vertical">
<LinearLayout
style="#style/wrapperWidthWeightSumOne"
android:paddingTop="50dp">
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnTypeAll"
style="#style/ConsentTypeBtn"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="0.85"
android:text="All"/>
</LinearLayout>
(...)
</LinearLayout>
This is button's style:
<style name="ConsentTypeBtn">
<item name="android:layout_width">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:layout_height">wrap_content</item>
<item name="android:onClick">onClick</item>
<item name="android:background">#drawable/selector_btn_consent_all</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginBottom">2dp</item>
<item name="android:singleLine">true</item>
<item name="android:layout_gravity">center</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#fff</item>
</style>
...and this is selector_btn_consent_all.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="#drawable/consent_type_on">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#1F3259"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#drawable/consent_type_on"></item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/consent_type_off"></item>
your selector_btn_consent_all.xml has status like this: when android:state_selected="true", use android:drawable="#drawable/consent_type_on".
So, find consent_type_on.xml at your drawable folder, and it would be rectangle, add <corners android:radius="4dp" />
EDIT
then, make consent_type_on.xml at your drawable folder. example here
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/holo_blue_bright" />
</shape>

How do I style RelativeLayout from styles.xml - Android

I am trying to style a RelativeLayout from styles.xml because I have different themes and I am trying to change it's background. How do I do that?
I know that styling a ListView goes like this (for example):
<style name="Theme_Day" parent="Theme.Sherlock.Light">
<item name="android:textColor">#color/def_actionbar_submenu_text</item>
<item name="android:listViewStyle">#style/def_ListView</item>
<item name="vpiTabPageIndicatorStyle">#style/CustomTabPageIndicator</item>
</style>
<style name="def_ListView" parent="#android:style/Widget.ListView">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/listview_bg</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/def_listview_title_text</item>
<item name="android:divider">#color/def_listview_itemdivider_bg</item>
<item name="android:dividerHeight">#dimen/listview_divider_height</item>
</style>
but when I try to find "android:relativeLayoutStyle" or parent="#android:style/Widget.RelativeLayout" I cant find anything..
How do I do that?
This question has been asked before a long time ago, but you can always try like this:
<style name="RelativeLayoutStyle" parent="#android:style/Widget">
<item name="android:layout_marginLeft">10dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginTop">7dp</item>
<item name="android:layout_marginBottom">5dp</item>
<item name="android:background">#android:color/holo_green_dark</item>
</style>
Now you can do:
<RelativeLayout
style="#style/RelativeLayoutStyle"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
...
Hope this helps someone.
You don't need any parent just write
<style name="def_RelativeLayout">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/listview_bg</item>
</style>
and set it in your style attribute of every relative layout
Create a drawable file and then set android:background with the #drawable/layout_style property.
For example, this drawable file is used to create a Google Card like design:
background_card.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle"
android:dither="true">
<corners android:radius="2dp"/>
<solid android:color="#ccc" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle"
android:dither="true">
<corners android:radius="2dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/white" />
<padding android:bottom="8dp"
android:left="8dp"
android:right="8dp"
android:top="8dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
And from the layout XML file, you need to set the android:background property:
android:background="#drawable/backgorund_card"
_
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/layout_id"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/backgorund_card" >
