Make Custom Drawable Shape in Android - android

I want to make drawable like below,
I am able to make the Rectangle and Triange shape in two different xml files. But i want to joint them to make the drawable like this.

Use layer-list to make this custom shape drawable.
/res/drawable/custom_shape.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Transparent Rectangle -->
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="300dp"
android:height="60dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- Colored Rectangle -->
<item
android:bottom="20dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="300dp"
android:height="60dp" />
<solid android:color="#9A8585" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- Bottom Triangle -->
<item
android:left="80dp"
android:right="120dp"
android:top="0dp"
android:bottom="30dp">
<rotate android:fromDegrees="45">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#9A8585" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
<!-- Top Border -->
<item
android:bottom="75dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#EFC1B3" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
USE:
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/custom_shape"/>
OUTPUT:
Hope this will help~

Use <layer-list/> for that.
Here is an example for instance.
in Drawable folder of resin project directory,
make xml file and name it as layerlist.xml and paste it below code as your requirement.
you can also add your shape drawable instead of drawable in the <item/> tag in the example. and use this xml as a background of ImageView.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/android_red"
android:gravity="center" />
</item>
<item android:top="10dp" android:left="10dp">
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/android_green"
android:gravity="center" />
</item>
<item android:top="20dp" android:left="20dp">
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/android_blue"
android:gravity="center" />
</item>
</layer-list>
Here is the result of the use of <layer-list/>.
I hope it helps you...

I expect that you need it for a a Tabular navigator or a ViewPager. My suggestion is that
1)Use the rectangle as your background for all the cases.
2)Create the same triangle drawable but with the background color (White or transparent) for the unselected item.
3)Create a view with the triangle background for all the items
4)Manually setVisibility of the triangle view according to the selection state

stroke_width_inner should be twice of stroke_width_outer always
Apply background to button -
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/button_background"
android:text="OK"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintRight_toRightOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />
On Layout Editor -
On Device -
On Device you won't see the grayish left and top border as you see on Layout Editor
This appears to be a good place to use a 9-patch image. Any solution based on a regular .png file, a <shape>, or a <vector> will wind up scaling the white and black borders of your button.
Once you've created your button.9.png file, then you can set it to be your button's background using android:background="#drawable/button".
Edit
Here's a 9-patch based on your linked .png file:
Please look here about creating a shape drawable http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#Shape
Once you have done this, in the XML for your button set android:background="#drawable/your_button_border"

ToggleButton rectangle containing an icon

I am trying to have a ToggleButton rectangle that contains an icon, once clicked the background should change color but the icon should remain visible.
So far I'm able to have a rectangle change color on click like such:
<ToggleButton
android:background="#drawable/toggle_selector"
android:id="#+id/toggle"
android:checked="false"
android:textOn=""
android:textOff=""
android:layout_width="60dp"
android:layout_height="60dp" />
toggle_selector.xml:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/toggle_state_on"
android:state_checked="true" />
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/toggle_state_off"
android:state_checked="false" />
</selector>
toggle_state_on.xml:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<!-- Draw a 5dp width border around shape -->
<stroke
android:color="#4c975d"
android:width="5dp"
/>
</shape>
</item>
<!-- Overlap the left, top and right border using background color -->
<item
android:bottom="5dp"
>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#6dd988"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
toggle_state_off being the same as on but with different colors.
I'm not able to find how to put an icon at the center of the button I have created, can that be achieved? And how?
You may need to modify the below as required however this will have a icon the center for both state on and off. Add the line toggle_state_off and toggle_state_on android:drawable="#drawable/ic_attach_money_black_24dp"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<!-- Draw a 5dp width border around shape -->
<stroke
android:color="#2c125d"
android:width="5dp"
/>
</shape>
</item>
<!-- Overlap the left, top and right border using background color -->
<item
android:bottom="5dp"
android:drawable="#drawable/ic_attach_money_black_24dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#2c125d"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

Create drawable with colored background and centered icon

I'm trying to create a drawable painted by color with centered icon. I tried to create layer-list but it scales icon to match drawable size:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape>
<solid android:color="#color/colorImageHolder"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/no_photo" android:gravity="center">
</item>
</layer-list>
This is a real device picture:
I want it to look like this:
Is there any way to disable icon scaling ?
UPDATE: My ImageView has scaleType="centerCrop" and I think this is a root of problem :( I tried to place no_photo drawable as background but it scales again.
Try this
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape>
<solid android:color="#color/colorImageHolder"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/no_photo"
android:bottom="20dp"
android:left="20dp"
android:right="20dp"
android:top="20dp"
>
</item>
</layer-list>
Note: This solution only work with square or oval view, not rectangle
inside your second <item> tag add the following <bitmap> tag so it reads:
<item>
<bitmap android:src="#drawable/no_photo" android:gravity="center" />
</item>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="44dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/white" />
<size
android:width="44dp"
android:height="44dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<layer-list>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/ic_menu" android:gravity="center"/>
</layer-list>
</item>

Square shaped layout border with round inside edges

I’m attempting to create a layout border with corners that are square on the outside and round on the inside. I’ve gathered that I need to create an .xml drawable definition composed of two shapes: one with a stroke width and corner radius and another with a stroke width only:
The drawables
round_border.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke android:width="4dp" android:color="#FF000000" />
<padding android:left="7dp" android:top="7dp"
android:right="7dp" android:bottom="7dp" />
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
<solid android:color="#FFC0C0C0" />
</shape>
square_border.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#FF000000" />
<solid android:color="#FFC0C0C0" />
</shape>
Each of these works independantly as a border when appliedby itself like so:
android:background="#drawable/round_border"
but when they either or both are added to an item-list drawable like so:
composite_border.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<layer-list>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/round_border"/>
<!-- <item android:drawable="#drawable/square_border"/> -->
</layer-list>
</shape>
and:
android:background="#drawable/composite_border"
The layout's background is completely black instead of just a black border.
Does anyone know how to make the layer list work for this task?
From Shape Drawable Doc you can see that shape can't have layer-list inside so you should define your composite_border.xml like this
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="#drawable/square_border"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/round_border"/>
</layer-list>
note that I changed the order of your items inside the layer-list as stated in the documentation of layer-list
Each drawable in the list is drawn in the order of the list—the last drawable in the list is drawn on top and you want it to be squared from outside
Try this will work fine enough:
solid is background color
stroke is border
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="#color/white"/>
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#ffaaaaaa" />
<size
android:width="15dp"
android:height="15dp"/>
</shape>
Create a xml file like round_background.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid
android:color="#CCCC33"/>
<size
android:width="35dp"
android:height="35dp"/>
</shape>
In the layout set as background
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout_wellbeing"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_corner_leuvan"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
</LinearLayout>
square_border.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke android:width="2dp"
android:color="#FF000000"
/>
<solid android:color="#FFC0C0C0" />
</shape>
composite_border.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<layer-list>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/round_border"/>
<!-- <item android:drawable="#drawable/square_border"/> -->
</layer-list>
</shape>
watch out the comments and the quotation marks! =]

Drawing top border on a shape on Android

I'm creating a custom progress bar (positioned under a WebView) and what I would like to draw is a 1dp-wide line between the WebView and the ProgressBar. I'm modifying existing drawable, namely progress_horizontal.xml, and tried something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
(...)
<item>
<shape android:shape="line">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#FF000000" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
This line however is vertically centered but I want it to be drawn on top of the drawable. The only idea I could come up with is to use this "hacky" gradient below:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
(...)
<item>
<shape>
<gradient
android:startColor="#FF000000"
android:centerColor="#00000000"
android:centerY="0.01"
android:endColor="#00000000"
android:angle="270"
/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Do you have better ideas how to draw a single line shape aligned to the top of the drawable defined with layer-list?
I spent a while trying to figure this out as well. Hopefully there is a better way to do it but here is the method I used, which is also kind of hackish, but in case it helps someone, I thought I would share.
The first item in your layer list should be a solid of whatever color you want to be your border. Following that would be the thing(s) you want to have the border, with padding on whatever side you want the border to be on.
For example:
<?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="YOUR BORDER COLOR" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="YOUR TOP BORDER THICKNESS">
THE THING YOU WANT A BORDER ON
</item>
</layer-list>
The idea is that the padding on the item reveals the solid shape behind it, giving the border appearance. You could add padding to any side to add a border. I imagine you could get more complicated and have different colored borders this way as well.
Seems like a hack but it worked for me.
EDIT: I said "padding" but in layer-lists it's more of an offset.
i was going through all related topics but no one could solve my problem. But some of them were very useful to understand how the layer-list or shape parameters work.
My problem was to define a button with a linear gradient and draw a top and a bottom line in different colors. After all I hacked this solution. I saved the file unter res/drawable/blue_btn.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/blue_end" />
<padding
android:left="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/bottomline_btn" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/blue" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#color/blue"
android:endColor="#color/blue_end"
android:angle="270" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="0dp" android:bottom="-1dp" android:left="-1dp" android:right="-1dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/topline_btn" />
<solid android:color="#00000000" />
<corners android:radius="0dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="-1dp" android:bottom="0dp" android:left="-1dp" android:right="-1dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/bottomline_btn" />
<solid android:color="#00000000" />
<corners android:radius="0dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
</selector>
<color name="topline_btn">#31ffffff</color>
<color name="bottomline_btn">#31000000</color>
<color name="blue">#449def</color>
<color name="blue_end">#2f6699</color>
Did you try offsetting it by something like this
http://android.amberfog.com/?p=9
My solution is to add 9-patch as the last layer item :
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape>
<solid android:color="#color/tab_button_active_layer2" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="#dimen/tab_button_active_bottom_bar_width">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#color/tab_button_active_layer1" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- 9-patch drawable -->
<item android:drawable="#drawable/tab_button_border_top"/>
</layer-list>
