Curved rectangle shape android - android

I want to create a rectangle shape in XML, it needs a curved shape.
Is this possible with the XML markup or programmatically?
the code i have now:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners
android:topLeftRadius="45dp"
android:topRightRadius="45dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="45dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="45dp" />
<solid
android:color="#4F4F4F" />
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="#878787" />
</shape>
Can someone help me out?
My idea is as followed:
The rectangle has to be transformed with a curve.

You can use a shape resource for your view background, either an oval:
<shape android:shape="oval">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#FF000000" />
</shape>
or a rectangle with rounded corners:
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#FF000000" />
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
</shape>
it's not clear to me from your question what you're looking to do exactly. The oval will fit to your objects width and height.
Of course you can have precise control via a custom Drawable, implementing your own draw() method and painting on the canvas. This is likely your best approach if you're looking for something very specific.

How to create this particular shape with xml in Android?

I want create one shape such as below image, but I want create this with XML codes (in drawable) and I do not want create this with 9.patch images!
How can I create this shape with xml code?
Here is a work- around
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="0dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"
android:topLeftRadius="15dp"
android:topRightRadius="15dp"/>
</shape>
Tweak the corner radius to get your upper part curved!
or overlap this oval shape to get the desired output
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<!--circle filling color-->
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<stroke
<!--radious can define in here-->
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#ffffff" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="2dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="2dp"
android:topLeftRadius="2dp"
android:topRightRadius="2dp" />
</shape>
But basically, this is not the correct way to do this! Use another way around, use 9 patch

Rounded rectangle with stroke on top android drawable XML

I was trying to make a drawable using XML in android. The requirement is I need to have a rounded rectangle(all 4 corners rounded) with a stroke of 7dp height only on the top edge. I am using the following XML for that:
<?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="5dp" android:color="#color/theme_color" />
<solid android:color="#color/theme_color" />
<corners
android:radius="7dp"/>
<padding android:top="7dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#color/designer_cell_background" />
<solid android:color="#color/designer_cell_background" />
<corners
android:radius="7dp"
android:topRightRadius="0dp"
android:topLeftRadius="0dp"/>
<padding android:bottom="1dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
I am getting this working almost OK, except that the bottomRight and bottomLeft corners are not rounded.
Question - 1 : How to get the bottom corners rounded?
Question - 2 : Is this the correct way to achieve what I actually want? Is there a better way? I am asking this because, I understand what I do here is actually making two rectangles, one on top of another, the second one is being slightly lowered from the top edge of the first rectangle so that the color of the first rectangle appears as a line on top of the second one. And then adding corner radius to each rectangle individually. I don't think it is the right solution. But I failed when I tried to add a stroke of 7dp width to the top of a rounded rectangle. The stroke I gave was appearing on all the edges.
EDIT
Here is what I want:
And this is what I currently get:
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<padding
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp" />
<corners android:radius="12dp" />
</shape>
ur using the radius value increased curve shape wil increase
try this is works let me know
this tool is helps me you can also get help from it

i think you should create 2 shapes the black one and the red one, just overlay the other shape to become the image you're looking for. you can't accomplish that with one shape in android.

ImageView with rouded corners, solid border and glow effect

I want to put rounded corners and border to an ImageView, with custom border color. Also, I would like to achieve a glowing effect with the color of the border. Attached sample image. Note that the source image has square borders.
I suppose this is achievable only by using Canvas? Any ideas and sample code?
this is what i have done for my ImageView to make same changes as you want.
made one image_shape.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
/>
<corners
android:radius="50dp" />
<padding
android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp"/>
<solid android:color="#10151D"/>
</shape>
Now, put this xml as the background of your imageView then you will get effect as you want.
Right now i have set my own color. you can put your desire color and get effect as rounded glow border effect.
try using the following code in a new xml file named roundCorners in your drawable folder:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#000000" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#DDDDDD" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="2dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="2dp"
android:topLeftRadius="2dp"
android:topRightRadius="2dp" />
</shape>
And then set it as a background to your ImageView in the layout file by:
android:background="#drawable/roundCorners"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle"
android:thickness="0dp" >
<stroke android:color="#ff5febe7" android:width="2dp" />
<solid android:color="#601E3232"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>

Android xml shape drawable - how to draw a u-form?

I need to create a xml shape drawable that draws a rectangle without the top-line (a "u-form"). What I am able to do is draw a rectangle, like so:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#color/detailrow_bg_normal" />
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="0dp"
android:radius="1dp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
android:topRightRadius="10dp" />
<padding
android:bottom="2dip"
android:left="1.5dip"
android:right="1.5dip"
android:top="8dip" />
<stroke
android:width="1dip"
android:color="#color/detailtable_border" />
But how - if possible, can I define the same shape without the top (or bottom) line?
You could try using a layer-list. See if something like this would work:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/detailtable_border" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:left="1.5dp" android:right="1.5dp" android:bottom="2dp">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/detailrow_bg_normal" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
This (should) fill the rectangle with the border color, then overlay it with the default background color, leaving the appropriate amount of the right/left/bottom border color showing.
try this code and also refer this link:::
I achieved a good solution with this one:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- This is the line -->
<item android:top="-1dp" android:right="-1dp" android:left="-1dp">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#ffffff" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
This works well in case you need a transparent color but still an open stroke color (In my case i only needed a bottom line). If you need a background color you can add a solid shape color as in above answer.
You might be able to achieve this using two shapes and a LayerList, but I think it is both a better solution and easier to use a NinePatch-drawable.

Android shape within a shape

I want to have a shape element with a two color border outline. I can do a single color outline using the solid element, but this only allows me to draw a single line. I tried using two stroke elements within my shape, but that didn't work either.
Is there a way to either draw a shape within a shape or draw two lines around my shape (which has rounded corners, BTW).
I found that the <layer-list> is the best approach. Like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:left="6dp"
android:right="6dp">
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="#000000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:bottom="1dp"
android:left="8dp"
android:right="8dp"
android:top="1dp">
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="2dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="2dp"
android:topLeftRadius="2dp"
android:topRightRadius="2dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/white" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#BDBDBD" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
You then need to put the proper margins on your listView row layout, but it works quite nicely.
so i have a work around but its ugly. the work around is to wrap my element inside another container element. i.e.
<RelativeLayout ... android:background="#drawable/outer">
<ListView ... android:background="#drawable/inner" />
</RelativeLayout>
