I have a layer-list:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape
android:shape="oval"
>
<size android:height="50dp" android:width="50dp"/>
<solid android:color="#android:color/background_light"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<size android:width="50dp" android:height="50dp"/>
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#android:color/black"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
On 4.2.2 and above it creates a white circle with a black border.
Below 4.2.2 it creates a black circle.
Is there any way to get it working below 4.2.2? Am I missing something?
My goal would be to get it work from api14.
Well eventually I found my own answer:
the trick is, you don't create a new item for the border, you add it to the solid shape, and it work's from api14. Like this:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<size android:height="50dp" android:width="50dp"/>
<solid android:color="#android:color/background_light"/>
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#android:color/black"/>
</shape>
</item>
actually in this case you don't even need a layer-list, but I have some other shapes in there, so that's why I'm using it. This way you can change the background color, and it still has a nice border to it.

I have been looking for similar questions and I cannot find anything that is exactly what I am looking for. I have also been messing around with this XML for quite some time, and I do not want to have to import any libraries or use Drawing code to make this square border.
As you can see, there is an orange line that is behind the white border.
This is as close as I have gotten:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<rotate android:fromDegrees="90">
<shape android:shape="line" android:thickness="3dp">
<padding android:left="120dp"/>
<stroke android:width="3dp" android:color="#F4900A"/>
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
<item>
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#color/white"/>
<solid android:color="#00FF0000"/>
<corners android:radius="16dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<!-- Background is transparent -->
<item>
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#00000000" />
<solid android:color="#00000000" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I feel like I am close but I am not sure how to move this line to the left without having it scale down in size? I have been messing around with the padding and it just seems jank.
Note: I have also tried setting the white border to have a orange gradient left side, and it didn't look right - so I don't think that gradient is an option.
This can be achieved with:
A normal rectangle as the outer white border
An orange solid rectangle to represent the left line that has android:gravity="left" to position it to the left and the paddings adjusted to displace the left line to the right, top, and bottom as you need
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/white" />
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:bottom="15dp"
android:gravity="left"
android:left="1dp"
android:top="15dp">
<rotate android:fromDegrees="180">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FF9800" />
<size android:width="3dp" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
</layer-list>
Previews with different TextView sizes:
I'm trying to create a circle button with a yellow ring around it. I'm trying to use layer list as a drawable resource file and to have the circle button in the background and the ring on top.
However, no matter what I try, the ring isn't being drawn on top of the circle. Only the circle appears.
<?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="16dp"/>
<solid android:color="#color/blue_button"/>
<size android:width="32dp" android:height="32dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="ring" android:innerRadius="50dp" android:useLevel="false" android:thickness="16dp">
<solid android:color="#color/black"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
When I try to isolate the ring shape, I can see it. But when I combine it with the circle, all I see is the circle. Adjusting thickness or innerRadius didn't seem to help.
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here. The ring is being drawn last so it should be on top. Can anyone help?
Can you give this a try :
<layer-list
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:height="50dp" android:width="50dp" android:gravity="center">
<shape
android:shape="oval">
<solid
android:color="#2323ff"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:height="48dp" android:width="48dp" android:gravity="center">
<shape
android:shape="oval" >
<solid
android:color="#000000"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Am trying to achieve this without using image as background, wanted to be done in xlm drawable
Use this
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:bottom="0dp"
android:left="-200dp"
android:right="-200dp"
android:top="-340dp">
<shape
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/dark_orange" />
</shape>
</item>
Change left-right margin as per your requirements. That will change curve.
I (finally) have a pretty nice drawable that I am using as a thumb for my SeekBar. It's, essentially a 20dp dark blue circle inside a 40dp light blue circle inside a 60 dp transparent circle.
However, when I touch the thumb, a "halo" (I'm sure there is a better/real word for this) expands the circle for as long as I'm touching the thumb. It's pretty big -- maybe up to 80dp -- and in a grayish color.
My question is: how do I control the size of the halo and its color. (It would be nice to be able to do it in the xml layout rather than programatically with code.)
Here's my drawable ...
<?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="#android:color/transparent"/>
<size android:width="60dp" android:height="60dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimary50"/>
<stroke android:color="#android:color/transparent" android:width="20dp"/>
<size android:width="40dp" android:height="40dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimary"/>
<stroke android:color="#android:color/transparent" android:width="40dp"/>
<size android:width="20dp" android:height="20dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
Here's my seekbar layout
<SeekBar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:thumb="#drawable/thumb"
android:splitTrack="false"
/>
Here's what I'm seeing...
Thanks in advance.
I have made a button drawable that consists of a gradient shape and a solid shape, both in a layer-list like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:height="25dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<gradient
android:angle="90"
android:startColor="#color/greyDark1"
android:endColor="#color/greyDark2"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="25dp" android:height="25dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/black" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
But I can't get the corners right.
I need rounded corners around the entire shape, but not on the inside (so topRight and topLeft op the top half and bottomRight and bottomLeft for the bottom half).
If I set both halves with <corners android:radius="8dp"> the bottom corners of the top half and the top corners of the bottom half are rounded too, and that's not what I want.
If I set <corners android:topRightRadius="8dp" android:topLeftRadius"8dp"> for the top half and <corners android:bottomRightRadius="8dp" android:bottomLeftRadius"8dp"> for the bottom half the top half would be the full size of the drawable making the gradient not working properly and the bottom corners are that same color too.
Here is an image of what I'm trying to accomplish:
Does someone know a solution to this?
EDIT:
I have gotten some answers and I'm thankful for that, but sadly enough they don't seem to work.
The answers I got from bofredo and Bhuvnesh Chasta resulted in something like this:
And the answer I got from curiousMind looks pretty nice, but isn't what I'm aiming for:
FINAL EDIT:
I have discussed this problem with someone I was working with and we both agree that it isn't that important to have it look like this, so we went with a solid color.
I still want to thank everybody who helped, all the current answers will get an upvote and I will accept the answer from waqaslam because he came very close to what I wanted.
I think that's the closest you can reach to your desired drawable using xml.
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="2dp"/>
<gradient android:startColor="#4e4e4e" android:centerColor="#626262" android:endColor="#android:color/transparent" android:angle="270" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="2dp"/>
<gradient android:startColor="#android:color/transparent" android:centerColor="#4c4c4c" android:endColor="#1c1c1c" android:angle="270" />
</shape>
</item>
Perhaps you should use 9-patch drawable to get the exact effect.
I had this problem quite some time ago aswell. You can find that question HERE
This is from the working answer:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<solid android:color="#color/cocus_orange"/>
<corners android:radius="15px"/>
<padding android:left="1dp" android:top="1dp" android:right="1dp" android:bottom="1dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient android:angle="90"
android:startColor="#880f0f10"
android:centerColor="#880d0d0f"
android:endColor="#885d5d5e"/>
<corners
android:radius="15px" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
try like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:angle="270"
android:endColor="#000"
android:startColor="#787575" />
<corners android:radius="8dip" />
Try this one. You should use to corners in shape for round to corner.
<?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="#b2d1d1ef" />
<corners android:radius="1dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:right="1dp" android:left="1dp" android:bottom="2dp" android:top="1dp">
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
Found this question today and solved, I'm sharing it in case anyone else will find it unsolved as the OP wanted, and wants to know the right way as I'm sure the OP doesn't need it anymore.
I made starting point/ending point for each item's draw, the gradient for the top starts where the button starts, ends after 20dp, for the bottom starts after 20dp and it ends in the end of the button. You can even see from the attachment that it is the same as the OP's wanted result! :)
