How to use android canvas to draw a Rectangle with only topleft and topright corners round?

Question

I found a function for rectangles with all 4 corners being round, but I want to have just the top 2 corners round. What can I do?

canvas.drawRoundRect(new Re         


        

Answer 1

Simple helper function written in Kotlin.

private fun Canvas.drawTopRoundRect(rect: RectF, paint: Paint, radius: Float) {
    // Step 1. Draw rect with rounded corners.
    drawRoundRect(rect, radius, radius, paint)

    // Step 2. Draw simple rect with reduced height,
    // so it wont cover top rounded corners.
    drawRect(
            rect.left,
            rect.top + radius,
            rect.right,
            rect.bottom,
            paint
    )
}

Usage:

canvas.drawTopRoundRect(rect, paint, radius)

Answer 2

This is an old question, however I wanted to add my solution because it uses the native SDK without lots of custom code or hacky drawing. This solution is supported back to API 1.

The way to do this properly is to create a path (as mentioned in other answers) however the previous answers seem to overlook the addRoundedRect function call that takes radii for each corner.

Variables

private val path = Path()
private val paint = Paint()

Setup Paint

paint.color = Color.RED
paint.style = Paint.Style.FILL

Update Path with Size Changes

Call this somewhere that isn't onDraw, such as onMeasure for a view or onBoundChange for a drawable. If it doesn't change (like this example) you could put this code where you set up your paint.

val radii = floatArrayOf(
    25f, 25f, //Top left corner
    25f, 25f, //Top right corner
    0f, 0f,   //Bottom right corner
    0f, 0f,   //Bottom left corner
)

path.reset() //Clears the previously set path
path.addRoundedRect(0f, 0f, 100f, 100f, radii, Path.Direction.CW)

This code creates a 100x100 rounded rect with the top corners rounded with a 25 radius.

Draw Path

Call this in onDraw for a view or draw for a drawable.

canvas.drawPath(path, paint)

Answer 3

I would draw two rectangles:

canvas.drawRect(new RectF(0, 110, 100, 290), paint);
canvas.drawRoundRect(new RectF(0, 100, 100, 200), 6, 6, paint);

Or something like that, you just overlap them so that the upper corners will be round. Preferably you should write a method for this

Answer 4

For API 21 and above the Path class added a new method addRoundRect() which you can use it like this.

corners = new float[]{
    80, 80,        // Top left radius in px
    80, 80,        // Top right radius in px
    0, 0,          // Bottom right radius in px
    0, 0           // Bottom left radius in px
};

final Path path = new Path();
path.addRoundRect(rect, corners, Path.Direction.CW);
canvas.drawPath(path, mPaint);

in Kotlin

val corners = floatArrayOf(
    80f, 80f,   // Top left radius in px
    80f, 80f,   // Top right radius in px
    0f, 0f,     // Bottom right radius in px
    0f, 0f      // Bottom left radius in px
)

val path = Path()
path.addRoundRect(rect, corners, Path.Direction.CW)
canvas.drawPath(path, mPaint)

draw round rect with left rounded corners

  private void drawRoundRect(float left, float top, float right, float bottom, Paint paint, Canvas canvas) {
        Path path = new Path();
        path.moveTo(left, top);
        path.lineTo(right, top);
        path.lineTo(right, bottom);
        path.lineTo(left + radius, bottom);
        path.quadTo(left, bottom, left, bottom - radius);
        path.lineTo(left, top + radius);
        path.quadTo(left, top, left + radius, top);
        canvas.drawPath(path, onlinePaint);
    }

A Path#arcTo() version to draw the rounded side if the radius is half of the height.

fun getPathOfRoundedRectF(
    rect: RectF,
    topLeftRadius: Float = 0f,
    topRightRadius: Float = 0f,
    bottomRightRadius: Float = 0f,
    bottomLeftRadius: Float = 0f
): Path {
    val tlRadius = topLeftRadius.coerceAtLeast(0f)
    val trRadius = topRightRadius.coerceAtLeast(0f)
    val brRadius = bottomRightRadius.coerceAtLeast(0f)
    val blRadius = bottomLeftRadius.coerceAtLeast(0f)

    with(Path()) {
        moveTo(rect.left + tlRadius, rect.top)

        //setup top border
        lineTo(rect.right - trRadius, rect.top)

        //setup top-right corner
        arcTo(
            RectF(
                rect.right - trRadius * 2f,
                rect.top,
                rect.right,
                rect.top + trRadius * 2f
            ), -90f, 90f
        )

        //setup right border
        lineTo(rect.right, rect.bottom - trRadius)

        //setup bottom-right corner
        arcTo(
            RectF(
                rect.right - brRadius * 2f,
                rect.bottom - brRadius * 2f,
                rect.right,
                rect.bottom
            ), 0f, 90f
        )

        //setup bottom border
        lineTo(rect.left + blRadius, rect.bottom)

        //setup bottom-left corner
        arcTo(
            RectF(
                rect.left,
                rect.bottom - blRadius * 2f,
                rect.left + blRadius * 2f,
                rect.bottom
            ), 90f, 90f
        )

        //setup left border
        lineTo(rect.left, rect.top + tlRadius)

        //setup top-left corner
        arcTo(
            RectF(
                rect.left,
                rect.top,
                rect.left + tlRadius * 2f,
                rect.top + tlRadius * 2f
            ),
            180f,
            90f
        )

        close()

        return this
    }
}
