How to make two layer circular corner in textview in android

This drawable :
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#70628b" />
<stroke android:width="12dp"
android:color="#4c3f6e"
/>
<corners android:radius="8dp"/>
</shape>
This is my textview
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv_disabled_frame"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/disabled_transparent_frame"
android:fontFamily="#font/inter_medium"
android:gravity="center"
android:padding="#dimen/dp_24"
android:text="02 : 45"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:textSize="#dimen/dp_32"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:visibility="visible" />
I am trying to apply circular drawable in inside and outside but given code its showing only outer :
Current screen using this code :
Expected screen
I am unable to do circular please help me in this .

try this code
It can show nested 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="#4c3f6e" />
<corners android:radius="8dp" />
<padding
android:bottom="12dp"
android:left="12dp"
android:right="12dp"
android:top="12dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#70628b" />
<corners android:radius="8dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

note that your "expected screen" has some small shadow under inner color area, you won't achieve this with common drawable, even with layer-list
I would advice you to use CardView
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/outer_background"
android:padding="12dp">
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:elevation="4dp"
android:visibility="gone"
app:cardCornerRadius="8dp"
app:cardBackgroundColor="#70628b">
<TextView ...
adjust elevation param for more/less shadow
outer_background.xml
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#4c3f6e" />
<corners android:radius="8dp"/>
</shape>

Align 3 buttons in a signe line, each button has different borders

Good afternoon,
I am doing an app who needs 3 buttons aligned under the TabLayout, like in the picture below :
I do not know what is the best way to do them, because each one has different borders.
Anyone can help me ?
Thank you !
I finally did it :
buttons.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginLeft="18sp"
android:layout_marginRight="18sp">
<Button
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="31sp"
android:id="#+id/one"
android:text="ONE"
android:textColor="#color/red"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_shape_one" />
<Button
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="31sp"
android:id="#+id/two"
android:text="TWO"
android:textColor="#color/red"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_shape_two"/>
<Button
style="?android:textAppearanceSmall"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="31sp"
android:id="#+id/three"
android:text="THREE"
android:textColor="#color/red"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:background="#drawable/button_shape_three"/>
</LinearLayout>
button_shape_one.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/transparent"/>
<stroke android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/red"
/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="0dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="5dp"
android:topLeftRadius="5dp"
android:topRightRadius="0dp"/>
</shape>
button_shape_two.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/red" />
<solid android:color="#color/transparent" />
<padding android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:top="5dp"
android:bottom="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
button_shape_three.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/transparent"/>
<stroke android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/red"
/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="5dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"
android:topLeftRadius="0dp"
android:topRightRadius="5dp"/>
</shape>
Result :
Thank you all!

You need to create a Shape drawable for all of your buttons. For eg the center button can use below drawable as background.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#606060"/>
<stroke android:color="#303030" android:width="2dp" />
</shape>
For the other two you need rounded edges only on left and right.For that you may follow This post on SO.
*Note: change the colors according to your needs and you will also require a selector to be applied on each button to highlight the selection.
The left and right borders can also be removed using shape drawable.For more details please see This post
The more easier approach will be to use This Library.

Set width to "0dp" and weight to "1" for all your buttons and wrap them inside a horizontal LinearLayout

roundedbuttons.xml in drawable
?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ffffffff"/>
<stroke android:width="3dp"
android:color="#ff000000"
/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="7dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp"
android:topLeftRadius="7dp"
android:topRightRadius="7dp"/>
</shape>
Edit the shape according to your preference
In your xml layout
LinearLayout(Horizontal)
- Buttons with background(roundedbuttons.xml) and weight="1"

Why don't you use one linear layout with blue border as parent of 3 textViews with background. No need to make it complicated.

Edittext change border color with shape.xml

I make a shape.xml file under res -> drawable folder.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#ff9900" />
</selector>
And then I use it on an EditText:
<EditText
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:id="#+id/editText"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_marginTop="300dp"
android:hint="#string/hint"
android:paddingLeft="10dp"
android:paddingRight="10dp"
android:singleLine="true"
android:background="#drawable/shape"/>
But the result is that it doesn't change the border color at all. Why, what's wrong?

Why using selector as the root tag? selector is used for applying multiple alternate drawables for different states of the view, so in this case, there is no need for selector.
Try the following code.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Background Color -->
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<!-- Border Color -->
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#ff9900" />
<!-- Round Corners -->
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
Also It's worth mentioning that all color entries support alpha channel as well, meaning that you can have transparent or semi-transparent colors. For example #RRGGBBAA.

Step 1:Create a border.xml in Drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:radius="2dp"
/>
<solid android:color="#ffffff"
/>
<stroke
android:width="2dip"
android:color="#000" />
</shape>
Step 2: Create a EditText in XML File
<EditText
android:id="#+id/etEmail"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"
android:layout_marginTop="25dp"
android:hint="Enter Email"
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="25dp"
android:background="#drawable/border"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:singleLine="true" />

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#ff9900" />
</selector>
You have to remove > this from selector root tag, like below
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
As well as move your code to shape from selector.

selector is used for applying multiple alternate drawables for different status of the view, so in this case, there is no need for selector
instead use shape
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#ff9900" />
</shape>

i use as following for over come this matter
edittext_style.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:thickness="0dp"
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp"
android:color="#c8c8c8"/>
<corners android:radius="0dp" />
And applied as bellow
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:inputType="textPersonName"
android:ems="10"
android:id="#+id/editTextName"
android:background="#drawable/edit_text_style"/>
try like this..

Use this code on xml . i hope it will be work
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:thickness="0dp"
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="3dp"
android:color="#4799E8"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#C8C8C8"
android:endColor="#FFFFFF"
android:type="linear"
android:angle="270"/>
</shape>

Check below code may will help you,
Using stroke can make border in edit text and change it's color too as shown below...
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:padding="10dp"
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/secondary" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="10dp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
android:topRightRadius="10dp" />
Add this as background in to edit text.
Thanks!

Use root tag as shape instead of selector in your shape.xml file, and it will resolve your problem!

This is work for me:
Drwable->New->Drawable Resource File->create xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#e0e0e0" />
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#a4b0ba" />
</shape>

How to set background to edittext in android?

I am using custom drawable to set background of edit text.Following is the code for edit text background
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<corners android:radius="1dp" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#595C65" />
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
It displays the edit box with rectangle background .But i want to set edit text background with L shape(set left and bottom backgrounds).
Without using external images and i want to set these background via drawable xmls.
Expected output:
Current output:

I found a solution for these:
text.xml:
<?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="#000000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#000000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:bottom="3px" android:left="3px">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
main.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<EditText
android:id="#+id/editText1"
android:background="#drawable/text"
android:layout_width="170dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="30dp"
android:ems="10"
android:gravity="center_horizontal"
android:padding="2dp"
android:password="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
Expected Output:
Without using external images we can get a output with the help of drawable text.xml

Using a drawable this should work :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#555555" />
</shape>

How to set a shape's background in xml?

I just created a red circle using android shapes:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:innerRadiusRatio="4"
android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="9"
android:useLevel="false" >
<solid android:color="#FF0000" />
<size
android:height="48dip"
android:width="48dip" />
</shape>
This is really cool, but I cannot set the background color of the circle to my color. I tried android:background="#FFFFFF" but it always appear to be black in my layout. How can I set the background of the above shape?

I think a layer-list might help you:
<?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="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape
android:innerRadiusRatio="4"
android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="9"
android:useLevel="false" >
<solid android:color="#FF0000" />
<size
android:height="48dip"
android:width="48dip" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="12dp" />
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#android:color/black" />
</shape>

I am just adding helpful research as an answer. Let us suppose you have a shape as the answer described by #GeneBo and you are looking forward to re-using that shape but with a different solid color. So all you need to do in your widget is:
android:background="#drawable/your_shape_to_reuse"
android:backgroundTint="#color/new_background_color_you_need"

Ok, how about this?
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#FFFFFF">
<TextView android:text="Foo"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/red_circle"/>
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
