I am trying to create a circle with only a border using XML in android:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval" >
<stroke android:width="1dp"
android:color="#000000"/>
</shape>
The code I've used is posted above. However, I get a solid disk and a not a ring. I would like to get the output using just XML and not canvas. What am i doing wrong?
Thanks.
EDIT:
Got it to work thanks to the answer below. Heres my final code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:innerRadius="0dp"
android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="1.9"
android:useLevel="false" >
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" />
<size android:width="100dp"
android:height="100dp"/>
<stroke android:width="1dp"
android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
</shape>
Try something like this
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:innerRadius="0dp"
android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="2"
android:useLevel="false" >
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="@android:color/darker_gray" />
</shape>
Update: made android:thicknessRatio="2"
to give full circle (using Nexus 5 - Lollipop)
use this it will work
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval" >
<gradient
android:centerX=".6"
android:centerY=".40"
android:endColor="@android:color/transparent"
android:gradientRadius="20"
android:startColor="@android:color/transparent"
android:type="radial" />
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<size
android:height="100dp"
android:width="100dp" />
</shape>
Hollow
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<stroke
android:width="1dp"
android:color="@color/indicator_unselected" />
</shape>
Full
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<corners android:radius="100dp" />
<solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
</shape>
If you can use Vector drawables try this
<vector android:height="24dp" android:viewportHeight="512.0"
android:viewportWidth="512.0" android:width="24dp" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<path android:fillColor="#FFFFFF" android:fillType="evenOdd"
android:pathData="M0,0L512,0L512,512L0,512L0,0ZM256,511C396.8,511 511,396.8 511,256C511,115.2 396.8,1 256,1C115.2,1 1,115.2 1,256C1,396.8 115.2,511 256,511Z"
android:strokeColor="#00000000" android:strokeWidth="1"/>
</vector>
You can use android inbuilt value for transparent as @android:color/transparent
or use #0000
or #00000000
for above starting for 4 digit first was for alpha and in 8 digit value first two digit was for same as alpha.
When you just give 3 digit or 6 digit in color than default alpha value was ff you by passing in 4 digit or 8 digit value set that alpha of that color value
