I would create a drawable as background of my list item. I'm trying to draw something like this in xml:
------------

So i need to draw the borders to two sides, top and left, and a "L" in the bottom right corner. I have no problems creating the top and left border but i can't imagine how to create the L in the bottom right corner. PS: the dimension of the L should be fixed and indipendent from the dimensions of the drawable.
Thanks
I have done it create a 9-patch png and then set it as background. i can also change the border color programmatically using a color filter over the drawable

I want to fill the background of multiple size (custom width or height) constraint layouts with this design:
Noticed that the outline border is glowing with fading gold color.
I have tried with the following:
Attempt (A) is using of ImageView tag, but not scalable to custom width and height.
Attempt (B) is xml created. But the border color is not fading, isn't the desired result.
Attempt (C) is using 9 patch file. The border radius and corner radius does not seems correct at all. (Would also like to know reason of this)
This is my 9patch file:
May I know if this is even possible to achieve?
Anyone please help.
I want to make a layout like this below in the image given. The blue color trapezium at the bottom of the screen
i am changing my buttons' backgroundDrawable programaticaly:
myButton.setBackgroundDrawable(getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.card_button_blue));
After changing the background, the text in the button is not aligned any more like it was before changing the background.
(source: dsliga.eu)
target SDK version is 10.
Thanks.
Looks like the setText() method messes up the alignment. After changing the text, re-applying the gravity and padding did the job:
myButton.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER_HORIZONTAL | Gravity.CENTER_VERTICAL);
myButton.setPadding(12, 12, 12, 12);
Since you are using a 9patch, you need to specify with bottom and right side lines where the data is inside your drawing, you probably did not draw a full line at the bottom, and right side of the 9patch drawing
this is why the text inside your button stopped being centered, because the bounds of the 9patch are NOT what you think they are
your 9patch should (normally), leave only 1 pixel at the top and bottom of the right side line, and 1 pixel at the left and right of the bottom line
redraw the 9patch, remove the gravity and padding code, and see if it works
see below image
I want to know can I draw this type of line (Shadowed line) for my bottom border any help???
Create a 9 patch of the same image, mark the expandable area as everything above this border, and set this 9 patch as the background of the view to which you want to have this border.
You could also, create a LinearLayout with required height (2-3 dp?) and use this as the background image. Put this layout below the view for which you want this border.
I have some text in a relative layout.I know that we can draw a border with curves using stroke and corner in a separate xml.
Is there a way to apply gradient effect for the border constructed with the stroke? or is there any other way to draw a gradient border?
Thanks in advance.
I don't know of a way to do that trivially, but it seems like you could define two shape drawables and combine with a layer drawable. The bottom one would be a rounded corner rectangle with a gradient, the top one would be a slightly smaller rounded corner rectangle of whatever you wanted the interior color to be. The effect should be something like a stroke gradient, although I haven't tried it.
