Android drawable custom shape stroke multiple items

I have a custom shape I am trying to create to be the background of a tabview.
This is the desired result:
I am trying to create the background of the active tab with this step.
I have the background as a different color so I can see what is doing what for now.
This is what I have so far:
But when trying to add a stroke to the shape, this happens:
Does anyone have an idea on how I can get to the result I stated above (with the corner radius' and stroke)?
Here is the drawable code (drawable/tab_active.xml):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<!-- Colored rectangle-->
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size
android:width="100dp"
android:height="40dp" />
<solid android:color="#13a89e" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/warmGray" />
<corners
android:topRightRadius="0dp"
android:topLeftRadius="32dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="32dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<!-- This rectangle for the left side -->
<item
android:right="100dp"
android:left="-100dp"
android:top="-100dp"
android:bottom="-100dp">
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="45">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#13a89e" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/warmGray" />
<padding
android:bottom="0dip"
android:left="0dip"
android:right="0dip"
android:top="0dip" />
<corners
android:topRightRadius="0dp"
android:topLeftRadius="32dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="32dp" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
<!-- This rectangle for the right side -->
<item
android:right="-100dp"
android:left="100dp"
android:top="-100dp"
android:bottom="-100dp">
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="45">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#color/warmGray" />
<corners
android:topRightRadius="32dp"
android:topLeftRadius="32dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="32dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="32dp" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>
</layer-list>
And then I call it using:
<View
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:background="#drawable/tab_active"
android:scaleY="-1" />

How to customize Spinner Background in android?

I want to change spinner look in android and I want it to be same for all the devices. I tried to do the same but failed to do so. If I use Tag, I am not able to customize it. I am adding screenshot of image of how I want.
http://prntscr.com/gb3oh9

Try something like this:
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<layer-list>
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/white" />
<stroke android:width="2px" android:color="#color/darkgray_7" />
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<bitmap
android:gravity="right" android:src="#drawable/arrow" />
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
</selector>

Try following code for custom Spinner
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item><layer-list>
<item><shape>
<gradient android:angle="90" android:startColor="#color/white" android:endColor="#color/appblue" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#color/block" />
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
<padding android:bottom="3dp" android:left="3dp" android:right="3dp" android:top="3dp" />
</shape></item>
<item ><bitmap android:gravity="right|center" android:src="#drawable/drop_arrow" android:tint="#color/red" />
</item>
</layer-list></item>
</selector>

You can change background color and drop down icon like doing this way
Step1: In drawable folder make background.xml for border of spinner.
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#color/darkGray" />
</shape> //edited
Step 2: For layout design
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginRight="3dp"
android:layout_weight=".28"
android:background="#drawable/spinner_border"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/spinner2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#mipmap/drop" />
</RelativeLayout>
Step ex:And for dropdown arrow(styling) of the spinner you can try applying following style to your spinner using:
style="#style/SpinnerTheme"
//Spinner Style:
<style name="SpinnerTheme" parent="android:Widget.Spinner">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/backgroundg_spinner</item>
</style>
//backgorundg_spinner.xml Replace the arrow_down_gray with your arrow
<item>
<layer-list>
<item>
<shape>
<gradient android:angle="90" android:endColor="#ffffff" android:startColor="#ffffff" android:type="linear" />
<stroke android:width="0.33dp" android:color="#0fb1fa" />
<corners android:radius="0dp" />
<padding android:bottom="3dp" android:left="3dp" android:right="3dp" android:top="3dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:right="5dp">
<bitmap android:gravity="center_vertical|right" android:src="#drawable/arrow_down_gray" />
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
Finally just find your particular ColorCode and append it.Here
Hope it helps...

This is how I did it (RTL Spinner):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<layer-list>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/ic_down_white" android:gravity="left|center" />
<item>
<shape>
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
<solid android:color="#19FFFFFF" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
</item>
</select

Create a custom background drawable for a EditText

I'm trying to set a custom drawable to a EditText as expected below:
So I wrote this custom drawable:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:paddingBottom="12dp"
android:paddingLeft="36dp"
android:paddingRight="12dp"
android:paddingTop="12dp">
<item>
<shape>
<corners android:radius="6dp"/>
<solid android:color="#android:color/white"/>
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#BBBBBB"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:width="32dp"
android:gravity="left">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size android:width="32dp"/>
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="6dp"
android:topLeftRadius="6dp"/>
<solid android:color="#AAAAAA"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:left="8dp">
<bitmap
android:gravity="left"
android:src="#drawable/ic_email"
android:tileMode="disabled"/>
</item>
</layer-list>
The result in preview is quite good (except different corner size, not handled by Android Studio)
But in device, it totally not works...
The second item is stretched and does not respect the width attribute.
I know, I can do it with a 9-patch, but I want to know if is it possible with drawables?

Managed to do it with a single background drawable and a compound drawable on the EditText.
bg_edittext_icon.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape>
<corners android:radius="6dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/white" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape>
<solid android:color="#AAAAAA" />
<corners android:radius="6dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:left="34dp">
<!-- left is icon size + 2x side padding around icon-->
<!-- 18 + 8 + 8 -->
<shape>
<solid android:color="#android:color/white" />
<corners android:radius="6dp"
android:topRightRadius="6dp"
android:topLeftRadius="0dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="6dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape>
<corners android:radius="6dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#BBBBBB" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
In your layout, use it like that:
<EditText
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/bg_edittext_icon"
android:inputType="textEmailAddress"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/ic_email_white_18dp"
android:drawablePadding="20dp"
android:paddingLeft="8dp"
android:paddingRight="12dp"
android:paddingTop="12dp"
android:paddingBottom="12dp"
android:hint="Email"
/>
With paddingLeft the icon padding inside the grey box and drawablePadding the padding inside the grey box + padding of the edit zone.
Here is the result from Genymotion (aka, real device):

Android - can't set margins for custom button

I am using Holo.Light theme and I am trying to make buttons not be transparent. I accomplished that, but now I want to add margin to the buttons and I have not been able to do that. Here is the button xml I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#E3E3E3" />
<corners android:radius="4dip" />
<margin
android:left="15dp"
android:right="15dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape>
<solid android:color="#edeff1" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#E3E3E3" />
<corners android:radius="4dip" />
<margin
android:left="15dp"
android:right="15dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
How can I add margin? My current setting doesn't render.
Thanks!

Why not add it to your button in XML?
<Button android:id="#+id/mybutton"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="xyz"
android:background="#drawable/custom_button"
android:layout_marginleft="15dp"
android:layout_marginleft="15dp" />
