I have this Button :
<Button
android:id="#+id/btStatSerie"
style="#style/ButtonPopUp"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="15dp"
android:text="#string/start_serie" />
Which call this style
<style name="ButtonPopUp" parent="ParentTheme">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/bt_menu_principal</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/white</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
<item name="android:textSize">15sp</item>
<item name="android:paddingLeft">15dp</item>
<item name="android:textAllCaps">true</item>
<item name="android:drawableRight">#drawable/ic_flche_blanche_bas</item>
<item name="android:gravity">left|center_vertical</item>
</style>
I set the text using setText() and at the same time setBackgroundDrawable() to express the change clearly to the user.
This remove the paddingLeft the style is providing.
Any ideas to solve this issue except writing a line under every setBackground() to set a padding from the code ?
And most important to me, WHY is this happening ?

Edit : xml drawable :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/bt_border_pressed"
android:state_pressed="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/bt_border_focused"
android:state_focused="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/bt_border" />
where bt_border and Cie. looks like with only color modifications :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/blue" />
<solid android:color="#color/blue" />
<padding
android:bottom="5dp"
android:left="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:top="5dp" />
<corners android:radius="7dp" />
</shape>
The new background I set (using setBackgroundResource() now) is also following the above modele (no selector). The padding is there when the screen is displayed for teh first time so really it is linked somehow to changing the background. Also, this issue was there before I start using a selector as xml drawable.
I think the problem lies within the fact that the default Button drawable contains paddings by default. The new drawable your setting probably does not have this padding and therefor padding disappears.
For example the default button drawable for ICS consists of a set of nine-patch images. Those nine-patch images contain padding.
Posting some source code of the drawable you're using could help!
You must set paddings after calling setBackgroundDrawable() method.
You can make a class extends Button, and override the setBackgroundDrawable(Drawable drawable) method, like this:
#Override
public void setBackgroundDrawable(Drawable drawable) {
int l = getPaddingLeft();
int t = getPaddingTop();
int r = getPaddingRight();
int b = getPaddingBottom();
super.setBackgroundDrawable(drawable);
setPadding(l, t, r, b);
}
Then replace your Button tag with this custom class

I want my button to have rounded corners like:
// Image taken from google
To achieve this with material theming in android is to set the: shapeAppearanceSmallComponent to have a rounded corner.
But setting shapeAppearanceSmallComponent also affects all other components such as EditText so now they are rounded as well.
So instead of setting it to shapeAppearanceSmallComponent, I created a shapeMaterialOverlay. Set this overlay to a buttonStyle and set this button style in the theme as the default button style.
It works but only for default buttons. If I needed a TextButton as such:
<Button
...
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton"/>
The TextButton won't be rouned. So as a workaround, I created MyTextButton style which extends from TextButton and set the shapeOverlay there as well.
so Now if I need a TextButton, I'll do:
<Button
...
style="#style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.MyTextButton"/>
instead.
I will have to do this for all other button types. I was wondering whether this approach is correct and if not, can anyone guide me on how to properly do this?
Thank you very much.
Just use the app:shapeAppearanceOverlay attribute in the layout.
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="#style/buttomShape"
.../>
with:
<style name="buttomShape">
<item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
<item name="cornerSize">50%</item>
</style>
The only way to apply it to all buttons is to define custom styles for all the button styles as you are just doing. Something like:
<style name="...." parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button">
<item name="shapeAppearance">#style/buttomShape</item>
</style>
<style name="..." parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.TextButton">
<item name="shapeAppearance">#style/buttomShape</item>
</style>
You can set a background drawable on your button. The drawable could look like this:
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#android:color/blue" />
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
This will give you rounded corners for your button background.
You know there is a site for creating custom layouts for buttons
here is the Link
it is a auto generated Code you don't have to code. Maybe it will be helpful for everyone
Create a drawable xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle"
>
<stroke
android:color="#color/colorPrimary"
android:width="1dp" />
<corners
android:radius="30dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="30dp"
/>
<solid
android:color="#4c95ec"
/>
</shape>
I have about 8 themes in my app, I need to have a specific drawable background (XML shape) for the login page only, and that can be changed when I change the theme.
Here is my default theme:
<style name="DefaultTheme" parent="CommonDark">
<item name="colorPrimary">#color/whiteTrasparentTheme</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#color/whiteTrasparentTheme</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#color/whiteTrasparentTheme</item>
<item name="buttonStyle">#style/BlackButtonText</item>
<item name="timerColor">#color/yellowTheme</item>
<item name="timerTextColor">#color/black</item>
<item name="iconTinting">#color/yellowThemeIcon</item>
<item name="iconBG">#color/yellowThemeSecondary</item>
</style>
Any help is appreciated.

This is what I want:

This is what I have on all my themes
https://imgur.com/a/wD5Gd
for that you have to create a my_background_login.xml in drawable package :
in this xml you have to put this code :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<gradient
android:angle="90"
android:centerColor="#555994"
android:endColor="#b5b6d2"
android:startColor="#555994"
android:type="linear" />
<corners
android:radius="0dp"/>
</shape>
you have specify your start color , center color and end color in xml..
then set this drawable as background in your main parent layout, so whenever you want to change you can directly change from this xml.
this is the proper way to get it done..
try it
Here is the link to what I have in mind.

Is there a popular library anyone knows that can manage this, otherwise I am alright with going the customizing route.
I have my 9 buttons defined in my XML no problem.
Next I know I have to create a xml file in the drawable folder like "button_shape.xml". Then I add this to my code:
android:background="#drawable/button_shape"
I make my button have an image, I assume with:
android:drawableTop="#drawable/buttonImage"
I guess lastly is how do I create a shape that keeps the bottom colour a consistent size with the text. While allowing different button sizes. Also can I easily alternate the colours by setting the style on each button and defining them as so:
<style name ="ButtonTheme.Custom1" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored">
<item name="colorPrimary">#android:color/holo_blue_light</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/holo_blue_dark</item>
</style>
<style name ="ButtonTheme.Custom2" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored">
<item name="colorPrimary">#android:color/holo_green_light</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/holo_green_dark</item>
</style>
<style name ="ButtonTheme.Custom3" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored">
<item name="colorPrimary">#android:color/holo_red_light</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/holo_red_dark</item>
</style>
<style name ="ButtonTheme.Custom4" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored">
<item name="colorPrimary">#android:color/holo_orange_light</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/holo_orange_dark</item>
</style>
<style name ="ButtonTheme.Custom5" parent="Base.Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored">
<item name="colorPrimary">#android:color/holo_blue_bright</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#android:color/holo_blue_light</item>
</style>
My custom shape so far is this, which is close; but how can I make the darker color keep a consistent size while the other moves according to size of button?
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:bottom="10dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<size android:height="10dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimaryDark" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="120dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<size android:height="120dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimary" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
You can use RecyclerView and StaggeredGrid
https://developer.android.com/reference/android/support/v7/widget/StaggeredGridLayoutManager.html
I want to make a weekly calendar, where every day is a custom checkbox with objective to look like the image bellow:
(http://i.imgur.com/WjIKCd0.png)
When the user clicks on a day (Monday in this case), the "background" and "button" checkbox changes as well the text color...
I made the drawables and it seems to work fine... check bellow the code:
Checkbox layout:
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/selectMonday"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:button="#drawable/ic_none"
style="#style/CheckBoxBackgroundView"
android:onClick="selectDay"
android:text="#string/monday_letter"
android:gravity="center"
android:checked="true"/>
(the drawable "ic_none", is simple a 135x135 "transparent" image with nothing in it...)
Style (CheckBoxBackgroundView):
<style name="CheckBoxBackgroundView">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/background_day_week_picker_box_selector</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/text_color_day_week_picker_box_selector</item>
<item name="android:textSize">#dimen/text_spinner_text</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>
Background Selector (background_day_week_picker_box_selector):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="false"
android:drawable="#drawable/background_day_of_week_picker_unselected" />
<item android:state_checked="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/background_day_of_week_picker_selected" />
</selector>
Background selected (background_day_of_week_picker_selected):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<!-- view background color -->
<solid
android:color="#color/red_color" >
</solid>
<!-- view border color and width -->
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="#color/transparent">
</stroke>
<!-- Here is the corner radius -->
<corners
android:radius="10dp" >
</corners>
</shape>
and finally the color selector (text_color_day_week_picker_box_selector):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="false"
android:color="#color/red_color"></item>
<item android:state_checked="true"
android:color="#color/white"></item>
</selector>
I tried this in several devices... in some, it appears like it suppose to, in others the text disappears and it looks like this:
(http://i.imgur.com/Jy9FrPS.png)
probably is coincidence, but all the devices that worked are below 5 inches...
is there anything wrong with my code that I'm not seeing? anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
The problem is that the 135x135 button drawable is pushing the text out of the bounds of your CheckBox's width. Instead of using a drawable, you can just set android:button="#color/transparent".
I am looking to style the tab indicator like pininterest where the indicator does not look like the normal "android" style . Is there some attribute where i can set the indicator height ?Please look into the following image .
It might be not a proper solution, and question is really old, but as I haven't found any proper solutions, this is how I did it:
I created a layerList file called indicator:
<layer-list
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FF0000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="3dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#efefef" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
And just set it as my tab indicator background:
<style name="CustomTabPageIndicator" parent="#android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar.TabView">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/indicator</item>
</style>
I've also applied this theme to my actionBar:
<style name="MyActionBarTheme" parent="android:style/Widget.Holo.ActionBar">
<item name="android:actionBarTabStyle">#style/CustomTabPageIndicator</item>
</item> </style>
It works because in indicator.xml first shape is lower shape, which is actual indicator, and to I set its height by providing bottom padding for another shape which color is identical to actionbar color.
just set layout_height attribute in your layout file:
com.viewpagerindicator.TitlePageIndicator
android:layout_height="#dimen/indicator_height"
Using the material design TabLayout, You can set the height with app:tabIndicatorHeight
<com.google.android.material.tabs.TabLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:tabIndicatorHeight="4dp" />
