Cutting the corners off a layout
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.drawable.shapes.Shape;
public class WeirdShape extends Shape {
private static final int COLOUR = Color.BLACK;
private static final float STROKE_WIDTH = 1.0f;
private static final float CORNER = 35.0f;
private final Paint border = new Paint();
private final Path path;
public WeirdShape() {
path = new Path();
border.setColor (COLOUR);
border.setStyle (Paint.Style.FILL);
border.setStrokeWidth(STROKE_WIDTH);
border.setAntiAlias (true);
border.setDither (true);
border.setStrokeJoin (Paint.Join.ROUND);
border.setStrokeCap (Paint.Cap.ROUND);
}
@Override
protected void onResize(float width, float height) {
super.onResize(width, height);
float dx = STROKE_WIDTH/2.0f;
float dy = STROKE_WIDTH/2.0f;
float x = dx;
float y = dy;
float w = width - dx;
float h = height - dy;
//RectF arc = new RectF(x,h-2*CORNER,x+2*CORNER,h);
path.reset();
path.moveTo(x + CORNER,y);
path.lineTo(w - CORNER,y);
path.lineTo(w,y + CORNER);
path.lineTo(w, h);
path.lineTo(x + CORNER,h);
// path.arcTo (arc,90.0f,90.0f);
path.lineTo(dx,h - CORNER);
path.lineTo(dx,y);//path.lineTo(dx,y + CORNER);
path.close();
}
@Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas, Paint paint) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
canvas.drawPath(path,border);
}
}
and then use the custom Shape in a ShapeDrawable as the background Drawable:
view.setBackground(new ShapeDrawable(new WeirdShape()));
Which looks something like:
You can use the ShapeAppearanceModel
provided by the Material Components Library:
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/layout"
..>
with:
val radius = resources.getDimension(R.dimen.cornerSize16)
val linearLayout = findViewById<LinearLayout>(R.id.layout)
val shapeAppearanceModel = ShapeAppearanceModel()
.toBuilder()
.setTopRightCorner(CornerFamily.CUT, radius)
.setBottomLeftCorner(CornerFamily.CUT, radius)
.build()
val shapeDrawable = MaterialShapeDrawable(shapeAppearanceModel)
ViewCompat.setBackground(linearLayout, shapeDrawable)
