Create Button with rounded corners in android
If you want something like this
Button preview
here is the code.
1.Create a xml file in your drawable folder like mybutton.xml and paste the following markup:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_pressed="true" >
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
<gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#345953" android:endColor="#689a92" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_focused="true">
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
<solid android:color="#58857e"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item >
<shape android:shape="rectangle" >
<corners android:radius="3dip" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
<gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#8dbab3" android:endColor="#58857e" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
2.Now use this drawable for the background of your view. If the view is button then something like this:
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textColor="#ffffff"
android:background="@drawable/mybutton"
android:text="Buttons" />
The Android Developer's Guide has a detailed guide on this: Shape Drawbables.
You could also simply remove the gradient
element from the link you provided:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="3dp" />
<stroke android:width="5px" android:color="#1a1a1a" />
</shape>
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_marginBottom="56dp"
android:text="Button"
android:textColor="#FF0F13"
android:background="@drawable/bbkg"/>//create bbkg.xml in drawable folder
bbkg.xml//button background
<?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/pressed" />
<item android:state_focused="false"
android:drawable="@drawable/normal" />
</selector>
normal.xml //button background normal state
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#10EB0A"/>
<stroke android:width="3dp"
android:color="#0FECFF" />
<padding android:left="5dp"
android:top="5dp"
android:right="5dp"
android:bottom="5dp"/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="7dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp"
android:topLeftRadius="7dp"
android:topRightRadius="7dp"/>
</shape>
pressed.xml //button background pressed state
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FF1A47"/>
<stroke android:width="3dp"
android:color="#0FECFF"/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="7dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp"
android:topLeftRadius="7dp"
android:topRightRadius="7dp"/>
</shape>
