How can I make a layout with rounded corners? I want to apply rounded corners to my LinearLayout
.
I think a better way to do it is to merge 2 things:
make a bitmap of the layout, as shown here.
make a rounded drawable from the bitmap, as shown here
set the drawable on an imageView.
This will handle cases that other solutions have failed to solve, such as having content that has corners.
I think it's also a bit more GPU-friendly, as it shows a single layer instead of 2 .
The only better way is to make a totally customized view, but that's a lot of code and might take a lot of time. I think that what I suggested here is the best of both worlds.
Here's a snippet of how it can be done:
RoundedCornersDrawable.java
/**
* shows a bitmap as if it had rounded corners. based on :
* http://rahulswackyworld.blogspot.co.il/2013/04/android-drawables-with-rounded_7.html
* easy alternative from support library: RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create( ...) ;
*/
public class RoundedCornersDrawable extends BitmapDrawable {
private final BitmapShader bitmapShader;
private final Paint p;
private final RectF rect;
private final float borderRadius;
public RoundedCornersDrawable(final Resources resources, final Bitmap bitmap, final float borderRadius) {
super(resources, bitmap);
bitmapShader = new BitmapShader(getBitmap(), Shader.TileMode.CLAMP, Shader.TileMode.CLAMP);
final Bitmap b = getBitmap();
p = getPaint();
p.setAntiAlias(true);
p.setShader(bitmapShader);
final int w = b.getWidth(), h = b.getHeight();
rect = new RectF(0, 0, w, h);
this.borderRadius = borderRadius < 0 ? 0.15f * Math.min(w, h) : borderRadius;
}
@Override
public void draw(final Canvas canvas) {
canvas.drawRoundRect(rect, borderRadius, borderRadius, p);
}
}
CustomView.java
public class CustomView extends ImageView {
private View mMainContainer;
private boolean mIsDirty=false;
// TODO for each change of views/content, set mIsDirty to true and call invalidate
@Override
protected void onDraw(final Canvas canvas) {
if (mIsDirty) {
mIsDirty = false;
drawContent();
return;
}
super.onDraw(canvas);
}
/**
* draws the view's content to a bitmap. code based on :
* http://nadavfima.com/android-snippet-inflate-a-layout-draw-to-a-bitmap/
*/
public static Bitmap drawToBitmap(final View viewToDrawFrom, final int width, final int height) {
// Create a new bitmap and a new canvas using that bitmap
final Bitmap bmp = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
final Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bmp);
viewToDrawFrom.setDrawingCacheEnabled(true);
// Supply measurements
viewToDrawFrom.measure(MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(canvas.getWidth(), MeasureSpec.EXACTLY),
MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(canvas.getHeight(), MeasureSpec.EXACTLY));
// Apply the measures so the layout would resize before drawing.
viewToDrawFrom.layout(0, 0, viewToDrawFrom.getMeasuredWidth(), viewToDrawFrom.getMeasuredHeight());
// and now the bmp object will actually contain the requested layout
canvas.drawBitmap(viewToDrawFrom.getDrawingCache(), 0, 0, new Paint());
return bmp;
}
private void drawContent() {
if (getMeasuredWidth() <= 0 || getMeasuredHeight() <= 0)
return;
final Bitmap bitmap = drawToBitmap(mMainContainer, getMeasuredWidth(), getMeasuredHeight());
final RoundedCornersDrawable drawable = new RoundedCornersDrawable(getResources(), bitmap, 15);
setImageDrawable(drawable);
}
}
EDIT: found a nice alternative, based on "RoundKornersLayouts" library. Have a class that will be used for all of the layout classes you wish to extend, to be rounded:
//based on https://github.com/JcMinarro/RoundKornerLayouts
class CanvasRounder(cornerRadius: Float, cornerStrokeColor: Int = 0, cornerStrokeWidth: Float = 0F) {
private val path = android.graphics.Path()
private lateinit var rectF: RectF
private var strokePaint: Paint?
var cornerRadius: Float = cornerRadius
set(value) {
field = value
resetPath()
}
init {
if (cornerStrokeWidth <= 0)
strokePaint = null
else {
strokePaint = Paint()
strokePaint!!.style = Paint.Style.STROKE
strokePaint!!.isAntiAlias = true
strokePaint!!.color = cornerStrokeColor
strokePaint!!.strokeWidth = cornerStrokeWidth
}
}
fun round(canvas: Canvas, drawFunction: (Canvas) -> Unit) {
val save = canvas.save()
canvas.clipPath(path)
drawFunction(canvas)
if (strokePaint != null)
canvas.drawRoundRect(rectF, cornerRadius, cornerRadius, strokePaint)
canvas.restoreToCount(save)
}
fun updateSize(currentWidth: Int, currentHeight: Int) {
rectF = android.graphics.RectF(0f, 0f, currentWidth.toFloat(), currentHeight.toFloat())
resetPath()
}
private fun resetPath() {
path.reset()
path.addRoundRect(rectF, cornerRadius, cornerRadius, Path.Direction.CW)
path.close()
}
}
Then, in each of your customized layout classes, add code similar to this one:
class RoundedConstraintLayout : ConstraintLayout {
private lateinit var canvasRounder: CanvasRounder
constructor(context: Context) : super(context) {
init(context, null, 0)
}
constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : super(context, attrs) {
init(context, attrs, 0)
}
constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet, defStyle: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyle) {
init(context, attrs, defStyle)
}
private fun init(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?, defStyle: Int) {
val array = context.obtainStyledAttributes(attrs, R.styleable.RoundedCornersView, 0, 0)
val cornerRadius = array.getDimension(R.styleable.RoundedCornersView_corner_radius, 0f)
val cornerStrokeColor = array.getColor(R.styleable.RoundedCornersView_corner_stroke_color, 0)
val cornerStrokeWidth = array.getDimension(R.styleable.RoundedCornersView_corner_stroke_width, 0f)
array.recycle()
canvasRounder = CanvasRounder(cornerRadius,cornerStrokeColor,cornerStrokeWidth)
if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT < Build.VERSION_CODES.JELLY_BEAN_MR2) {
setLayerType(FrameLayout.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null)
}
}
override fun onSizeChanged(currentWidth: Int, currentHeight: Int, oldWidth: Int, oldheight: Int) {
super.onSizeChanged(currentWidth, currentHeight, oldWidth, oldheight)
canvasRounder.updateSize(currentWidth, currentHeight)
}
override fun draw(canvas: Canvas) = canvasRounder.round(canvas) { super.draw(canvas) }
override fun dispatchDraw(canvas: Canvas) = canvasRounder.round(canvas) { super.dispatchDraw(canvas) }
}
If you wish to support attributes, use this as written on the library:
Another alternative, which might be easier for most uses: use MaterialCardView . It allows customizing the rounded corners, stroke color and width, and elevation.
Example:
And the result:
Do note that there is a slight artifacts issue at the edges of the stroke (leaves some pixels of the content there), if you use it. You can notice it if you zoom in. I've reported about this issue here.
EDIT: seems to be fixed, but not on the IDE. Reported here.
