How to make layout with rounded corners..?

Question

How can I make a layout with rounded corners? I want to apply rounded corners to my LinearLayout.

Answer 1

If you would like to make your layout rounded, it is best to use the CardView, it provided many features to make the design beautiful.

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="5dp">
      <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="0dp"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_weight=".3"
                android:text="@string/quote_code"
                android:textColor="@color/white"
                android:textSize="@dimen/text_head_size" />
      </LinearLayout>
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

With this card_view:cardCornerRadius="5dp", you can change the radius.

Create your xml in drawable, layout_background.xml

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
      <solid android:color="@color/your_colour" />
      <stroke
            android:width="2dp"
            android:color="@color/your_colour" />
      <corners android:radius="10dp" />      
    </shape>
 <--width, color, radius should be as per your requirement-->

and then, add this in your layout.xml

 android:background="@drawable/layout_background"

Answer 3

Try this...

1.create drawable xml(custom_layout.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />

<stroke
    android:width="2dp"
    android:color="#FF785C" />

<corners android:radius="10dp" />

</shape>

2.add your view background

android:background="@drawable/custom_layout"

Answer 4

I've taken @gauravsapiens answer with my comments inside to give you a reasonable apprehension of what the parameters will effect.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <!-- Background color -->
    <solid android:color="@color/white" />

    <!-- Stroke around the background, width and color -->
    <stroke android:width="4dp" android:color="@color/drop_shadow"/>

    <!-- The corners of the shape -->
    <corners android:radius="4dp"/>

    <!-- Padding for the background, e.g the Text inside a TextView will be 
    located differently -->
    <padding android:left="10dp" android:right="10dp" 
             android:bottom="10dp" android:top="10dp" />

</shape>

If you're just looking to create a shape that rounds the corners, removing the padding and the stroke will do. If you remove the solid as well you will, in effect, have created rounded corners on a transparent background.

For the sake of being lazy I have created a shape underneath, which is just a solid white background with rounded corners - enjoy! :)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <!-- Background color -->
    <solid android:color="@color/white" />

    <!-- The corners of the shape -->
    <corners android:radius="4dp"/>

</shape>

Answer 5

Step 1: Define bg_layout.xml in drawables folder.

Step 2: Add bg_layout.xml as background to your layout.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid
        android:color="#EEEEEE"/> <!--your desired colour for solid-->

    <stroke
        android:width="3dp"
        android:color="#EEEEEE" /> <!--your desired colour for border-->

    <corners
        android:radius="50dp"/> <!--shape rounded value-->

</shape>

 <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:padding="@dimen/_10sdp"
android:shape="rectangle">

<solid android:color="@color/header" />

<corners
    android:bottomLeftRadius="@dimen/_5sdp"
    android:bottomRightRadius="@dimen/_5sdp"
    android:topLeftRadius="@dimen/_5sdp"
    android:topRightRadius="@dimen/_5sdp" />
