How can I make an EditText with a drop-down in Android?
For reference i have added an image. I am trying to combine an edittext with spinner but I am not able to achieve the same.
Can anyone add suggestion or xml mockup?
Well, You can use a LinearLayout with a horizontal orientation and create a custom drawable for the rounded border.
Implementation
First, you need to draw the rounded border by creating a new Drawable resource file.
In your res/drawables folder create rounded_border.xml
rounded_border.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#2E2E2E" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Then, you can add the LinearLayout to your layout as follows.
your_layout.xml
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_border"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<EditText
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#null"
android:paddingHorizontal="16dp"
android:text="(504) 596-3245"
android:layout_weight="2"/>
<View
android:layout_width="2dp"
android:background="#2E2E2E"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
<Spinner
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:listitem="#layout/spinner_item_text"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>
Remarks
You can Customize the border width, color, and radius from the rounded_border.xml.

could refer this lib demo : https://github.com/z2wenfa/SpinnerEditText
could use the lib directly
dependencies {
compile 'com.github.z2wenfa:SpinnerEditText:1.0.1'
}

I just updated my android Studio and every time that I try to change the background color of AppCompatButton the layout gets flat and looses the ripple effect, it wasn't like that.
And normal :
In my old project, works fine too!
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton
android:clickable="true"
android:onClick="Login"
android:layout_marginEnd="50dp"
android:layout_marginTop="17dp"
android:textColor="#color/primaryDarkColor"
android:layout_marginStart="50dp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="12dp"
android:text="Logar"
android:focusable="true" />
A good way to change your buttons background and keep the ripple effect is to create a separate drawable for them.
So you would create a default_button_background.xml with some pre-defined colors
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#color/button_ripple_color">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="#dimen/button_corner_radius" />
<solid android:color="#color/buttonBackground" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
Then you can assign this drawable to your button background like:
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatButton
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/default_button_background"/>
What I want to do:
What I have:
I want to make a circular icon with initials in it. In my scenario initials can have one or two letters. Like you can see my solution work fine for two letters but not to one. How can I solve this for both cases?
There is my code from the XML file:
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textSize="20dp"
android:textAllCaps="true"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:background="#drawable/shape_rounded_blue_button"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:gravity="center"
local:MvxBind="Text Initials"/>
And there is shape_rounded_blue_button:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/blue"/>
<corners android:radius="30dp" />
</shape>
As I wanted to implement the same thing, I made some research on GitHub and found this library:
https://github.com/amulyakhare/TextDrawable
It does exactly what you want and has some neat features as auto-coloring. You can use it with an ImageView and create a drawable, e.g. like this:
val drawable = TextDrawable.builder()
.beginConfig()
.width(bubbleSize)
.height(bubbleSize)
.endConfig()
.buildRound("FH", MATERIAL.getColor("FH"))
theImageView.setImageDrawable(drawable)
And that looks like this:
Your text will automatically be centered within the bubble, so it's no problem to have one or two characters.
You need to create a drawable resource file under res>drawable and save it as bg_circle.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#424242"/>
<size android:width="120dp" android:height="120dp"/>
</shape>
Now make icon_container in your layout.xml file as:
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/icon_container"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="#dimen/icon_width_height"
android:layout_height="#dimen/icon_width_height"
android:src="#drawable/bg_circle" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/icon_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:textSize="#dimen/icon_text" />
</RelativeLayout>

You need to create a circle shape.
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/base30"/>
For better effects(shadow and appearance) you can use TextDrawable.
I have created a listview and added a border to it's items.
something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:baselineAligned="false"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/listviewborderbox"
android:padding="10dp" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/sharedbyyouNameLayout"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight=".70"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/sharedbyyoutext"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left"
android:text="#string/sampletext1"
android:textColor="#color/blackText"
android:textSize="14sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/sharedbyyouselected"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="left"
android:text="#string/sampletext2"
android:textColor="#color/blackText"
android:textSize="16sp"
tools:ignore="RtlHardcoded" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/sharedbyyouLayoutforarrow"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight=".10"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/arrow"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_next"
tools:ignore="RtlSymmetry,RtlHardcoded,ContentDescription" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And I have ripple effect value in Drawable-v21 like this:
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#android:color/white"> <item android:drawable="#color/footercolor"/> </ripple>
Border shape xml in drawable folder is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/colorforbodybox" />
<corners android:radius="10dip"/>
<stroke android:width="2dip" android:color="#color/colorforborder" />
</shape>
Ripple effect works but ripple effect is shown outside the border line that I have drawn. Please check pic below:
How do I make the ripple effect not to cross the border in the list view?
To achieve rounded corner ripple effect change your ripple xml file to:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:color="#android:color/white"
tools:targetApi="lollipop">
<item android:id="#android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="10dp"/>
<solid android:color="#color/footercolor"/>
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
The problem I had was that the corner radius of my views was not a fixed value therefore using the xml suggested didn't work for me.
I needed a something that would adapt the ripple effect every time regardless of the shape used so...
I used a simple view extension:
fun View.addRippleEffect(rippleColorId: Int = R.color.rippleColor) { // Here you can pass the color you want for the ripple effect and assign a "default" value
val rippleColor = ColorStateList.valueOf(ContextCompat.getColor(App.context(), rippleColorId))
this.background = RippleDrawable(
rippleColor, // This is the color of the effect and needs to be a ColorStateList
this.background, // ( = content ) With this you use your view's background as the content of the ripple effect
this.background) // ( = mask ) With this the ripple will take the shape of the background and not "spill over". (Could be null IF you did set the previous variable "content = this.background")
}
OR, if you want to separate the two layers:
fun View.addRippleEffect(rippleColorId: Int = R.color.rippleColor) {
val rippleColor = ColorStateList.valueOf(ContextCompat.getColor(App.context(), rippleColorId))
this.foreground = RippleDrawable( //Using the foreground allows you to give the view whatever background you need
rippleColor,
null, //Whatever shape you put here will cover everything you've got underneath so you probably want to keep it "null"
this.background)
}
Basically you give a view a background (rounded rectangle with borders in your case) then you can simply call the extension in your Activity/Fragment:
whateverView.addRippleEffect()
//or
whateverView.addRippleEffect(R.color.red)
See: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/drawable/RippleDrawable
1. Create the Ripple Drawable Contains the Backgound Shape
<ripple
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="?colorControlHighlight"> //defaul ripple color
<item>
<shape //the background shape when it's not being click
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="#color/colorPrimary" />
<corners
android:radius="32dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
2. Applying the Drawable to the View and REMOVE THE SHADOW
<Button
style="?borderlessButtonStyle" //remove the default shadow
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/background_button" //here
android:text="Sign up"
android:textAllCaps="false"
android:textColor="#android:color/white" />
Try setting clipToOutline of your View / ViewGroup to true, either in the code or through XML, it should limit the ripple's area accordingly (as long as you background shape matches the requirements, see the docs for more details).
I want to create custom button and I need it to be circle. How can I create a circle button?
I do not think that be possible with draw9patch.
Also I do not know how to make custom button!
Do you have any suggestion?
Use xml drawable like this:
Save the following contents as round_button.xml in drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="false">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#fa09ad"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#c20586"/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Android Material Effect: Although FloatingActionButton is a better option, If you want to do it using xml selector, create a folder drawable-v21 in res and save another round_button.xml there with following xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#c20586">
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#fa09ad"/>
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
And set it as background of Button in xml like this:
<Button
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:background="#drawable/round_button"
android:gravity="center_vertical|center_horizontal"
android:text="hello"
android:textColor="#fff" />
Important:
If you want it to show all these states (enabled, disabled, highlighted etc), you will use selector as described here.
You've to keep both files in order to make the drawable backward-compatible. Otherwise, you'll face weird exceptions in previous android version.

With the official Material Components library you can use the MaterialButton applying a Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.Icon style.
Something like:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:layout_width="48dp"
android:layout_height="48dp"
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.Icon"
app:icon="#drawable/ic_add"
app:iconSize="24dp"
app:iconPadding="0dp"
android:insetLeft="0dp"
android:insetTop="0dp"
android:insetRight="0dp"
android:insetBottom="0dp"
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded"
/>
Currently the app:iconPadding="0dp",android:insetLeft,android:insetTop,android:insetRight,android:insetBottom attributes are needed to center the icon on the button avoiding extra padding space.
Use the app:shapeAppearanceOverlay attribute to get rounded corners. In this case you will have a circle.
<style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded" parent="">
<item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
<item name="cornerSize">50%</item>
</style>
The final result:
With jetpack compose you can use:
Button(
onClick = { /* Do something! */ },
modifier = Modifier.width(48.dp).height(48.dp),
shape = CircleShape
) {
Icon(Icons.Filled.Add, "")
}
AngryTool for custom android button
You can make any kind of custom android button with this tool site...
i make circle and square button with round corner with this toolsite..
Visit it may be i will help you
For a FAB looking button this style on a MaterialButton:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.ExtendedFloatingActionButton"
app:cornerRadius="28dp"
android:layout_width="56dp"
android:layout_height="56dp"
android:text="1" />
Result:
If you change the size be careful to use half of the button size as app:cornerRadius.
You can use MaterialButton from AndroidX material library
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:layout_width="75dp"
android:layout_height="75dp"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:insetLeft="0dp"
android:insetTop="0dp"
android:insetRight="0dp"
android:insetBottom="0dp"
app:cornerRadius="50dp"
app:icon="#drawable/ic_camera"
app:iconGravity="textStart"
app:iconPadding="0dp"
app:iconSize="35dp" />
and it will be like this
if you want use VectorDrawable and ConstraintLayout
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/ok_button"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="100dp"
android:foreground="?attr/selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
android:background="#drawable/circle_button">
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView

android:layout_width="32dp"
android:layout_height="32dp"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:srcCompat="#drawable/ic_thumbs_up"/>

android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#+id/icon_of_button"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:text="ok"
/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>
</FrameLayout>
circle background: circle_button.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="1000dp" />
<solid android:color="#41ba7a" />
<stroke
android:width="2dip"
android:color="#03ae3c" />
<padding
android:bottom="4dp"
android:left="4dp"
android:right="4dp"
android:top="4dp" />
</shape>
Unfortunately using an XML drawable and overriding the background means you have to explicitly set the colour instead of being able to use the app style colours.
Rather than hardcode the button colours for every behaviour I opted to hardcode the corner radius, which feels marginally less hacky and retains all the default button behaviour (changing colour when it's pressed and other visual effects) and uses the app style colours by default:
Set android:layout_height and android:layout_width to the same value
Set app:cornerRadius to half of the height/width
(It actually appears that anything greater than or equal to half of the height/width works, so to avoid having to change the radius every time you update the height/width, you could instead set it to a very high value such as 1000dp, the risk being it could break if this behaviour ever changes.)
Set android:insetBottom and android:insetTop to 0dp to get a perfect circle
For example:
<Button
android:insetBottom="0dp"
android:insetTop="0dp"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:layout_width="150dp"
app:cornerRadius="75dp"
/>
here is how you can perform simply, make a drawable resource file in drawable.xml. Say round_button.xml and then paste the following code.
<?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="#color/button_start_gradient_color"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/microphone"/>
</layer-list>
Note:- use your own color and drawable resource as i have used #drawable/microphone

If you want to do with ImageButton, use the following. It will create round ImageButton with material ripples.
<ImageButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_settings_6"
android:background="?selectableItemBackgroundBorderless"
android:padding="10dp"
/>
Create a new vector asset in the drawable folder.
You can import your PNG image as well, and convert the file to SVG online at https://image.online-convert.com/convert-to-svg. The higher the resolution, the better the conversion will be.
Next, create a new vector asset from that SVG file.
This is a sample vector circle image you can use. Copy the code to an xml file in the drawables folder.
ic_check.xml:
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

Use this image in your button:
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/btn_level1"
android:layout_width="36dp"
android:layout_height="36dp"
android:background="#drawable/ic_check"
/>
Your button will be a circle button.
