Button border is not appearing using drawable in android

I am using this code for adding a border to my button layout but no change is appearing in the button.
button_bg.xml(drawable)
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners
android:radius="14dp"
/>
<solid
android:color="#fff"
/>
<stroke
android:width="3px"
android:color="#000"
/>
</shape>
Layout
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnName"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/button_bg"
android:textColor="#000"
android:text="#string/category_name" />
</RelativeLayout>

How to add the slider (left and right) effect using seekbar?

I have a dialog and in this i have 2 button "Yes" and "No". If i slide right then it will treat as pressed "No" and if i slide left it will treated as pressed "Yes" same as like some phone calling screes do for accept and reject calls. I tired this link. Initially my slider is positioned at mid position (android:progress ="50"), and if current progress returns 5 i am considering it pressed "yes" and if it returns 90 i consider pressed "No" and when i try to slide left or right it should produce a sliding effect for better UI as thumb moves. I tired this way but its not a good effect when right/left movement of thumb..
Means i want exactly same as slide to unlock button like this but want to keep the slider in middle so that i can move both side for Yes and No.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:id="#android:id/background">

<gradient

And my seekbar.xml looks like....
<SeekBar
android:id="#+id/sb"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:progress="50"

android:thumb="#drawable/slide_thumb"
android:splitTrack="false"
android:background="#null"
android:thumbOffset="2dp"
android:paddingLeft="2dp"
android:paddingRight="2dp"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Yes"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:layout_marginTop="22dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:textStyle="bold"
/>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="No"
android:textSize="25sp"
android:textColor="#android:color/white"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginTop="22dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:textStyle="bold"
/>
but its not giving me the right effect as i wanted, i want same as these below pictures are.. But with "yes" and "No" text.

If you don't like the default thumb, you will have to create your own Drawable, which you can then set the thumb in code with something like:
Drawable thumb = getResources().getDrawable( R.drawable.myThumb );
SeekBar mSeekBar = (SeekBar) findViewById(R.id.mySeekBar);
mSeekbar.setThumb(thumb);
Or you can set the thumb in XML with:
<SeekBar
...
android:thumb="#drawable/seek_thumb" />
The actual Drawable can be an image, shape, or any other kind of Drawable you could possibly desire. If you want the thumb to change appearance when it is pressed, you will want to create a State List Drawable.

TextView hidden by previous View in RelativeLayout

My issue is simple I have a basic layout with two views with two custom drawables as background, here is the code :
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/relaunch_layout"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:visibility="invisible"
android:clipChildren="false"
android:layout_above="#+id/playLayout">
<Button
android:id="#+id/relaunch"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Relancer"
android:paddingLeft="15dp"
android:paddingRight="15dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:textColor="#FFF0951C"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_button"
android:gravity="center_horizontal|center_vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/nbspins_view"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingLeft="6dp"
android:paddingRight="6dp"
android:layout_marginRight="-10dp"
android:layout_marginTop="-10dp"
android:background="#drawable/circular_shape"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:layout_alignRight="#+id/relaunch" />
</RelativeLayout>
And the shape for my Views :
Button shape :
<?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="15dp" />
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#FFF0951C" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
TextView shape :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#FF0000" />
<corners
android:topLeftRadius="15dp"
android:topRightRadius="15dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="15dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
/>
</shape>
I can't figure out why, my TextView is not displayed above my Button, here is the result I get :
The result I want :
Can you see why ?

I think I know what you mean.
The button uses the following:
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
so is aligning with the top of the RelativeLayout.
Remove that and change it to
android:layout_below="#id=nbspins_view"
and make the TextView align with the parent top.

Showing boundary around android-button

How can i achieve this scenario:
My android button tag in xml file:
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="10dp"
android:text="Select Plan"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:background="#ffffff"
android:textColor="#2D74B9"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView9"
android:layout_alignEnd="#+id/textView10"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/textView6"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:clickable="true" />

<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Select Plan"
android:padding="10dip"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:background="#drawable/border"
android:textColor="#2D74B9"
android:clickable="true" />
and
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke
android:width="1dip"
android:color="#2D74B9" />
<corners android:radius="10dip"/>
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
</shape>

This will be your button xml
<Button
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="10dp"
android:text="Select Plan"
android:id="#+id/button"
android:background="#drawable/borderButton"
android:textColor="#2D74B9"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView9"
android:layout_alignEnd="#+id/textView10"
android:layout_alignBottom="#+id/textView6"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:clickable="true" />
And this will be your borderButton.xml file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="1dip"
android:color="#2D74B9" />
<corners android:radius="10dip"/>
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />

Create the following xml file under drawable folder let say abc.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:radius="16dp"/>
<stroke
android:color="#000000"
android:width="3dp"
/>
</shape>
And,use it in your button background.
<Button
android:background="#drawable/abc"/>

Adding icon next to button text in android

I used this button generator. http://angrytools.com/android/button/
Is there an easy way to add an icon to the left of the text.
The drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners
android:radius="10dp"
/>
<gradient
android:angle="90"
android:startColor="#cacaca"
android:endColor="#FBFBFB"
android:type="linear"
/>
<padding
android:left="50dp"
android:top="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:bottom="0dp"
/>
<size
android:width="600dp"
android:height="60dp"
/>
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#9f9f9f"
/>
</shape>
The button
<Button
android:id="#+id/angry_btn"
android:text="button"
android:textColor="#000000"
android:textSize="18sp"
android:layout_width="600dp"
android:layout_height="60dp"
android:background="#drawable/buttonshape"
android:shadowColor="#A4A4A4"
android:shadowDx="2"
android:shadowDy="3"
android:shadowRadius="5"
/>

Use android:drawableLeft attribute in the Button XML.

use 'android:drawableLeft="#drawable/userImage"' or 'android:drawableRight="#drawable/user_image"' in Button xml attribute

Try this wount really fail
<Button
android:id="#+id/fab"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="48dp"
android:background="#color/btn_registration_login"
android:text="LOGIN"
android:paddingLeft="125dp"
android:paddingRight="125dp"
android:textColor="#color/white"
android:drawableRight="#drawable/ic_navigate_next_white_18dp"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"/>
