I need to create a border with rounded corners programatically by extending ShapeDrawable. I need to have a black border with rounded corners with the pixels on the outside being white and the inner pixels being transparent. The code I have at the moment has multiple problems, of which are that it does not create a smooth corner that is the same thickness as the border and that the outer pixels of the border are transparent and not white.
Here is a picture of the corners I am currently getting
Here is the code where I am passing Color.TRANSPARENT for 'fill' in the constructor:
public class CustomShape extends ShapeDrawable {
private final Paint fillpaint, strokepaint;
public CustomShape(int fill, int strokeWidth,int radius) {
super(new RoundRectShape(new float[] { radius, radius, radius, radius, radius, radius, radius, radius }, null, null));
fillpaint = new Paint(this.getPaint());
fillpaint.setColor(fill);
strokepaint = new Paint(fillpaint);
strokepaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
strokepaint.setStrokeWidth(strokeWidth);
strokepaint.setColor(Color.BLACK);
}
@Override
protected void onDraw(Shape shape, Canvas canvas, Paint paint) {
shape.draw(canvas, fillpaint);
shape.draw(canvas, strokepaint);
}
}
If you need evenly rounded corners (and from your example it seems you do) you can simply use GradentDrawable with a solid color
GradientDrawable gd = new GradientDrawable();
gd.setColor(Color.RED);
gd.setCornerRadius(10);
gd.setStroke(2, Color.WHITE);
view.setBackground(gd);
GradientDrawable documentation can be found here.
Edit: For each corner separately
You can specify radius of each corner separately using setCornerRadii (float[] radii)
method. "For each corner, the array contains 2 values, [X_radius, Y_radius]. The corners are ordered top-left, top-right, bottom-right, bottom-left. This property is honored only when the shape is of type RECTANGLE.
It is recommended to invoke mutate()
before changing this property.
You can implement a custom drawable. Following is the example of the xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ffffffff"/>
<stroke android:width="3dp"
android:color="#ff000000"
/>
<padding android:left="1dp"
android:top="1dp"
android:right="1dp"
android:bottom="1dp"
/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="7dp" android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp"
android:topLeftRadius="7dp" android:topRightRadius="7dp"/>
</shape>
Save this xml in the drawable folder of your project. Now use it like a normal drawable for any widget. For example: android:background="R.drawable.round_shape"
This example is referenced following link.
GradientDrawable drawable = (GradientDrawable)image.getBackground();
drawable.setGradientRadius(radiuspx);
In addition to specify the round corner dimens you can use GradientDrawable and the method setCornerRadii()
GradientDrawable d = new GradientDrawable();
d.setCornerRadii({5.0f,5.0f,5.0f,5.0f});
textViewExample.setBackgroundResource(d);
