Thanks in advance,

The following layout files will product a button with 5px radius, of course u input your own color and change the solid color to gradient to match ur screenshots, then on the button change the text colour to white or something.. I dont have time for examples now.. good luck though.
and lastly you have to apply them as background to your button like this
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnLoveThisOne"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dp"
android:text="Love me love u too!"
android:background="#drawable/button_background" <!-- Yes look at me -->
/>
button_background_normal.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/button_background_normal_color"/> <!-- Change this to your own colour -->
<corners android:radius="5px"/>
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#20ffffff"/>
</shape>
button_background_pressed.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#color/button_background_pressed_color"/> <!-- Change this to your own colour -->
<corners android:radius="5px"/>
</shape>
button_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="#drawable/button_background_normal" />
<item android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/button_background_pressed" />
<item android:state_focused="false"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/button_background_pressed" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/button_background_normal" />
</selector>
I know two ways to make it:
a Button or TextView with an image having that engraving rectangle, for stretch, use 9.patch :)
a Button or TextView with transparent background and a selector drawing the shape border
However, I don't know exactly how they did as shown in your picture.

I am trying to create an ImageButton able to change the icon color after pressing. I want to do that in my XML file. I have the following code:
...
<ImageButton
android:id="#+id/stop_button"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:src="#drawable/stop_icon"
android:background="#drawable/stop_button"
android:tint="#color/ship_cove"
app:layout_constraintBottom_toTopOf="#id/bottom_icon_guideline"
app:layout_constraintLeft_toRightOf="#id/start_icon_guideline"
app:layout_constraintRight_toLeftOf="#id/end_icon_guideline"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/mediatop_icon_guideline" />
And here is my #drawable/stop_button.xml file content:
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#color/cornflower_blue">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/oxford_blue" />
<corners android:radius="8dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
As I stated before, my purpose is to change my stop_icon tint after pressing my stop_button, but I do not know how I can do that. Can anyone help me?
Note: if my button is not pressed, I want my stop_icon with the color #color/ship_cove. If it is, I want the color #color/mirage.
Instead of color create a color selector with a pressed state.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:color="pressed_color" android:state_pressed="true" />
<item android:color="default_color" />
</selector>
And use this selector for the color of the icon. The rest should be taken by the system.
I have following spinner:
<Spinner
android:id="#+id/safe_network_time_spinner"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
android:background="#drawable/spinner_selector"
android:entries="#array/schedule_edit_days_repeat"
android:popupBackground="#drawable/custom_dropdown_white_background"
android:spinnerMode="dropdown"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="#id/divider4"
tool:listitem="#layout/custom_dropdown_spinner_button" />
The spinner_selector is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<bitmap android:gravity="right|center_vertical" android:src="#drawable/down_red_arrow" />
</item>
</selector>
The dropdown list appears like this:
When I select an item of the dropdown list, if it is too long it overlaps the arrov bitmap. how can I avoid this?
Try using a layer-list
bg_spinner.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<!-- This is the actual spinner background -->
<selector >
<!-- Feel free to use your own drawable for these states -->
<item android:state_window_focused="false" android:drawable="#drawable/bg_border_accent_thin"/>
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="#drawable/bg_border_accent_thin"/>
<item android:state_window_focused="true" android:state_pressed="false" android:drawable="#drawable/bg_border_grey_thin"/>
</selector>
</item>
<!-- This is the spinner drawable, use your custom drawable aswell. android:right does the magin to separate this drawable from the spinner content-->
<item android:drawable="#drawable/ic_ripple_arrow"
android:gravity="center_vertical|right"
android:right="16dp"/>
</layer-list>

My apologies for a weekend-long lunch.
If you are using the androidx dependencies (which I suggest you do) here's the code that I use to properly add spacing between the text and the selected item in the spinner.
On your layout.xml
<!-- The line I think you need is the one giving padding to the right -->
<androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatSpinner
android:paddingTop="4dp"
android:paddingBottom="4dp"
android:paddingRight="36dp"
android:background="#drawable/bg_spinner"
android:popupBackground="#drawable/bg_spinner_popup"/>
The bg_spinner.xml is the one provided a couple of lines above.
And the popup one doesn't really matter, since it gives some directives on how to paint a background, nothing important but here it is either way...
bg_spinner_popup.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="3dp"/>
<solid android:color ="#android:color/white"/>
<stroke android:width="5px" android:color="#color/primaryColor"/>
</shape>
I want to make a weekly calendar, where every day is a custom checkbox with objective to look like the image bellow:
(http://i.imgur.com/WjIKCd0.png)
When the user clicks on a day (Monday in this case), the "background" and "button" checkbox changes as well the text color...
I made the drawables and it seems to work fine... check bellow the code:
Checkbox layout:
<CheckBox
android:id="#+id/selectMonday"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:button="#drawable/ic_none"
style="#style/CheckBoxBackgroundView"
android:onClick="selectDay"
android:text="#string/monday_letter"
android:gravity="center"
android:checked="true"/>
(the drawable "ic_none", is simple a 135x135 "transparent" image with nothing in it...)
Style (CheckBoxBackgroundView):
<style name="CheckBoxBackgroundView">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/background_day_week_picker_box_selector</item>
<item name="android:textColor">#color/text_color_day_week_picker_box_selector</item>
<item name="android:textSize">#dimen/text_spinner_text</item>
<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>
</style>
Background Selector (background_day_week_picker_box_selector):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="false"
android:drawable="#drawable/background_day_of_week_picker_unselected" />
<item android:state_checked="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/background_day_of_week_picker_selected" />
</selector>
Background selected (background_day_of_week_picker_selected):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<!-- view background color -->
<solid
android:color="#color/red_color" >
</solid>
<!-- view border color and width -->
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="#color/transparent">
</stroke>
<!-- Here is the corner radius -->
<corners
android:radius="10dp" >
</corners>
</shape>
and finally the color selector (text_color_day_week_picker_box_selector):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_checked="false"
android:color="#color/red_color"></item>
<item android:state_checked="true"
android:color="#color/white"></item>
</selector>
I tried this in several devices... in some, it appears like it suppose to, in others the text disappears and it looks like this:
(http://i.imgur.com/Jy9FrPS.png)
probably is coincidence, but all the devices that worked are below 5 inches...
is there anything wrong with my code that I'm not seeing? anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
The problem is that the 135x135 button drawable is pushing the text out of the bounds of your CheckBox's width. Instead of using a drawable, you can just set android:button="#color/transparent".
I tried to change the background color of the toggle button using XML file as white color, but the toggle button is totally damaged. It looks like all the button was covered with white.
There is no indication of ON or OFF on the toggle button when I have changed the color of the toggle button to white. Is there is another way to change the background which will not damage the indication of the toggle button?
<ToggleButton android:id="#+id/togglebutton"
android:layout_width="100px"
android:layout_height="46px"
android:background="#ffffff"
android:layout_above ="#+id/save"
android:textOn="DAY"
android:textOff="NIGHT" />
This is how my XML code look for the toggle button.
Yes, there is a way to change the background as you wish, but you have to use a selector like this as background:
<selector
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="#drawable/some_image" />
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/some_other_image" />
<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_pressed="false"
android:drawable="#drawable/some_image1" />
<item
android:state_focused="false"
android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/other_image" />
</selector>
For #Drawable, etc. (you can use a color or make a gradient. Check this for more information about gradients.
Follow this way to make your ToogleButton have background color red when On and green when OFF
First, create tooglebutton_selector.xml in drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/togglebutton_on"
android:state_checked="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/togglebutton_off"
android:state_checked="false"
/>
</selector>
Second, create togglebutton_on.xml in drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="#ff0000" /> // red color
</shape>
Third, create togglebutton_off.xml in drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid
android:color="#00FF00" /> // green color
</shape>
Finally, in your ToggleButton
<ToggleButton
android:id="#+id/btnMon"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/tooglebutton_selector" //set background of ToggleButton to tooglebutton_selector
/>
When you decompile your SystemUI.apk, you should go to the following file: SystemUI/res/values/colors.xml
Then change the following line:
#ff000000
#ffffffff
#80000000
#ffadc1d6
#ffffffff
#ffe6e6e6
I need to do round cornered button with background color change in android.
How could i do that?
Example link/code is much appreciated.
You want to use Android's Shape Drawables.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#Shape
drawable/cool_button_background.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:radius="#dimen/corner_radius" />
<gradient
android:angle="270"
android:startColor="#color/almost_white"
android:endColor="#color/somewhat_gray"
android:type="linear" />
</shape>
Then you'd have to create a "selector" drawable from those shape drawables. This allows you to make the button appear different depending on the state. IE: Pressed, focused, etc.
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/resources/drawable-resource.html#StateList
drawable/cool_button.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/cool_inner_press_bottom" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:state_enabled="true"
android:state_window_focused="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/cool_inner_focus_bottom" />
<item
android:drawable="#drawable/cool_button_background" />
</selector>
Bonus: You might want to create a style for the button so you can have them be consistent throughout the program. You can cut this step out and just set the button's android:background="#drawable/cool_button".
values/styles.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<style name="MyCoolButton">
<item name="android:background">#drawable/cool_button_background</item>
</style>
</resources>
Finally, the button!
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:background="#drawable/appwidget_bg">
<Button
android:id="#+id/btnAction"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="wrap_content"
style="#style/CoolButton"
/>
</LinearLayout>
Import PorterDuff and use setColorFilter() as follows
import android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode;
Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.myButton);
btn.getBackground().setColorFilter(Color.GRAY, Mode.MULTIPLY);
