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

Function for set corner radius programmatically

static void setCornerRadius(GradientDrawable drawable, float topLeft,
        float topRight, float bottomRight, float bottomLeft) {
    drawable.setCornerRadii(new float[] { topLeft, topLeft, topRight, topRight,
            bottomRight, bottomRight, bottomLeft, bottomLeft });
}

static void setCornerRadius(GradientDrawable drawable, float radius) {
    drawable.setCornerRadius(radius);
}

Using

GradientDrawable gradientDrawable = new GradientDrawable();
gradientDrawable.setColor(Color.GREEN);
setCornerRadius(gradientDrawable, 20f);
//or setCornerRadius(gradientDrawable, 20f, 40f, 60f, 80f); 

view.setBackground(gradientDrawable);

 <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" />

1: Define layout_bg.xml in drawables:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
    <stroke android:width="3dp" android:color="#B1BCBE" />
    <corners android:radius="10dp"/>
    <padding android:left="0dp" android:top="0dp" android:right="0dp" android:bottom="0dp" />
</shape>

2: Add layout_bg.xml as background to your layout

android:background="@drawable/layout_bg"

Answer 4

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
    <stroke android:width="3dip" android:color="#B1BCBE" />
    <corners android:radius="10dip"/>
    <padding android:left="3dip" android:top="3dip" android:right="3dip" android:bottom="3dip" />
</shape>

@David, just put padding same value as stroke, so border can be visible, regardeless image size

Answer 5

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.

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>
