How to make the corners of a button round? [closed

Question

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

Answer 1

Create a xml file in drawable folder like below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
    <!-- you can use any color you want I used here gray color-->
    <solid android:color="#ABABAB"/> 
    <corners android:radius="10dp"/>
</shape>

Apply this as background to button you want make corners round.

Or you can use separate radius for every corner like below

android:bottomRightRadius="10dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
android:topRightRadius="10dp"

Answer 2

Create file myButton.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="@color/colorButton"/>
    <corners android:radius="10dp"/>
</shape>

add to your button

 <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/myButton"/>

If you want something like this

here is the code.

1.Create a xml file in your drawable folder like mybutton.xml and paste the following markup:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item android:state_pressed="true" >
        <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
            <corners android:radius="3dip" />
            <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
            <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#345953" android:endColor="#689a92"  />            
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_focused="true">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
            <corners android:radius="3dip" />
            <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
            <solid android:color="#58857e"/>       
        </shape>
    </item>  
    <item >
       <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
            <corners android:radius="3dip" />
            <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
            <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#8dbab3" android:endColor="#58857e" />            
       </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

2.Now use this drawable for the background of your view. If the view is button then something like this:

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:textColor="#ffffff"
    android:background="@drawable/mybutton"
    android:text="Buttons" />

Answer 4

Simple way i found out was to make a new xml file in the drawable folder and then point the buttons background to that xml file. heres the code i used:

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

<solid android:color="#ff8100"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>

</shape>
