Create shape for drawable - android

I have ListView, and i have a background for the list items:
Is there any way to recreate this background as a shape in drawable XML? The most outer grey is not part of the item background, it is actually the ListView.

You can try following with the values of your choice. It will make the bottom two corners rounded.
rounded_rectangle.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape>
<gradient android:angle="270" android:endColor="#404040" android:startColor="#404040" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#808080" />
<corners android:bottomLeftRadius="11dp" android:bottomRightRadius="11dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
then use it as a background to your listitem as follows
android:background="#drawable/rounded_rectangle"

You can try this shape drawable:
<?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>

Android shape border with gradient and middle transparent

I need to create a round corner border, where border with gradient.enter link description here is working.But My page is using a image as background which is also with gradient. I need to show background image from middle of the filed. I want to create just like below image:
round_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke
android:width="4dp"
android:color="#color/transparent" />
<gradient
android:startColor="#374533"
android:centerColor="#432727"
android:endColor="#222430"
android:angle="135"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
round_border.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient
android:startColor="#efe301"
android:centerColor="#7dc17b"
android:endColor="#01dae6"
android:angle="180"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
result_drawable.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/round_border"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/round_background" />
</layer-list>
Here, you can set android:width="4dp" in round_background.xml to set size of your border. use result result_drawable.xml where you want..

How can I create a vertical line in a drawable xml? Android

Is there a way to make a drawable that draws a vertical line? So far I have a horizontal line that draws this:
current code is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/object_switcher_background" />
<item android:left="0dp"
android:right="250dp">
<shape android:shape="line">
<stroke android:color="#color/c19"
android:width="2dp"/>
<size android:width="40dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:left="50dp"
android:bottom="50dp"
android:top="75dp"
android:right="150dp">
<shape android:shape="line">
<stroke android:color="#color/c19"
android:width="2dp"
android:rotation="90"/>
<size android:width="40dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
How can I manipulate this to make it look like this?
You could do this by nesting your second item inside a rotate item.
you can do that using rotate item: the below code defines a white background with a vertical divider using only xml drawable
<?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="#android:color/white" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<rotate android:fromDegrees="90">
<shape android:shape="line">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#android:color/darker_gray" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
I'm not sure why you need a drawable for this.
This can also be done by using a simple view and adjusting its height, width and position according to your needs. For example:
<View
android:layout_width="1dp"
android:background="#color/grey_text_color"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>

Square shaped layout border with round inside edges

I’m attempting to create a layout border with corners that are square on the outside and round on the inside. I’ve gathered that I need to create an .xml drawable definition composed of two shapes: one with a stroke width and corner radius and another with a stroke width only:
The drawables
round_border.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke android:width="4dp" android:color="#FF000000" />
<padding android:left="7dp" android:top="7dp"
android:right="7dp" android:bottom="7dp" />
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
<solid android:color="#FFC0C0C0" />
</shape>
square_border.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#FF000000" />
<solid android:color="#FFC0C0C0" />
</shape>
Each of these works independantly as a border when appliedby itself like so:
android:background="#drawable/round_border"
but when they either or both are added to an item-list drawable like so:
composite_border.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<layer-list>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/round_border"/>
<!-- <item android:drawable="#drawable/square_border"/> -->
</layer-list>
</shape>
and:
android:background="#drawable/composite_border"
The layout's background is completely black instead of just a black border.
Does anyone know how to make the layer list work for this task?
From Shape Drawable Doc you can see that shape can't have layer-list inside so you should define your composite_border.xml like this
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:drawable="#drawable/square_border"/>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/round_border"/>
</layer-list>
note that I changed the order of your items inside the layer-list as stated in the documentation of layer-list
Each drawable in the list is drawn in the order of the list—the last drawable in the list is drawn on top and you want it to be squared from outside
Try this will work fine enough:
solid is background color
stroke is border
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="#color/white"/>
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#ffaaaaaa" />
<size
android:width="15dp"
android:height="15dp"/>
</shape>
Create a xml file like round_background.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid
android:color="#CCCC33"/>
<size
android:width="35dp"
android:height="35dp"/>
</shape>
In the layout set as background
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/layout_wellbeing"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_corner_leuvan"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
</LinearLayout>
square_border.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke android:width="2dp"
android:color="#FF000000"
/>
<solid android:color="#FFC0C0C0" />
</shape>
composite_border.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<layer-list>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/round_border"/>
<!-- <item android:drawable="#drawable/square_border"/> -->
</layer-list>
</shape>

Rounded corner of list item on Android?

How to setup the attribute to achieve the rounded corner for each item in the ListView?
Please kindly give an example if you can, thanks!
for example:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaxxdotorg/3640222441/in/set-72157619952823330/
EDIT:
That's my code here for the answer.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient
android:startColor="#ffff"
android:endColor="#fddd"
android:angle="270" />
<corners
android:radius="13dp" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#feee" />
</shape>
You can achieve this with shapes.
Checkout the Shape Drawable documentation
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners
android:radius="12dp"/>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/blue" />
</shape>
The corner element specifies the size of the rounded corner. Now all you need to do is specify this drawable as the background to each list element.
