Question

I want to make the corners of a button round. Is there an easy way to achieve this in Android?

Answer 1

style button with icon

   <Button
        android:id="@+id/buttonVisaProgress"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:background="@drawable/shape"
        android:onClick="visaProgress"
        android:drawableTop="@drawable/ic_1468863158_double_loop"
        android:padding="10dp"
        android:text="Visa Progress"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white" />

shape.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="14dp" />
<gradient
    android:angle="45"
    android:centerColor="#1FA8D1"
    android:centerX="35%"
    android:endColor="#060d96"
    android:startColor="#0e7e1d"
    android:type="linear" />
<padding
    android:bottom="0dp"
    android:left="0dp"
    android:right="0dp"
    android:top="0dp" />
<size
    android:width="270dp"
    android:height="60dp" />
<stroke
    android:width="3dp"
    android:color="#000000" />

Answer 2

Create rounded_btn.xml file in Drawable folder...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> 
     <solid android:color="@color/#FFFFFF"/>    

     <stroke android:width="1dp"
        android:color="@color/#000000"
        />

     <padding android:left="1dp"
         android:top="1dp"
         android:right="1dp"
         android:bottom="1dp"
         /> 

     <corners android:bottomRightRadius="5dip" android:bottomLeftRadius="5dip" 
         android:topLeftRadius="5dip" android:topRightRadius="5dip"/> 
  </shape>

and use this.xml file as a button background

<Button
android:id="@+id/btn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/rounded_btn"
android:text="Test" />

This link has all the information you need. Here

Shape.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape      xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:shape="rectangle">

    <solid   android:color="#EAEAEA"/>

    <corners    android:bottomLeftRadius="8dip"
                android:topRightRadius="8dip"
                android:topLeftRadius="1dip"
                android:bottomRightRadius="1dip"
                />
</shape>

and main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
              android:orientation="vertical"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <TextView   android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:text="Hello Android from NetBeans"/>

    <Button android:id="@+id/button"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Nishant Nair"
            android:padding="5dip"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:background="@drawable/button_shape"
            />
</LinearLayout>

This should give you your desired result.

It's so simple. Create an XML file like below one. Set it as background for the button. Change the radius attribute to your wish, if you need more curve for the button.

button_background.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <solid android:color="@color/primary" />
    <corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>

Set background to your button:

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/button_background"/>

Answer 5

if you are using vector drawables, then you simply need to specify a <corners> element in your drawable definition. I have covered this in a blog post.

If you are using bitmap / 9-patch drawables then you'll need to create the corners with transparency in the bitmap image.

Answer 6

create shape.xml in drawable folder

like shape.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
  <stroke android:width="2dp"
    android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
  <gradient 
    android:angle="225"
    android:startColor="#DD2ECCFA"
    android:endColor="#DD000000"/>
<corners
    android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp"
    android:bottomRightRadius="7dp"
    android:topLeftRadius="7dp"
   android:topRightRadius="7dp" />
</shape>

and in myactivity.xml

you can use

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn_Shap"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:text="@string/Shape"
    android:background="@drawable/shape"/>
