You can have a shape like this, of course you will have to change colors based on your need

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

    <stroke android:width="6dp" android:color="#FFCCCCCC"/>

    <padding 
        android:left="5dp" 
        android:top="5dp" 
        android:right="5dp"
        android:bottom="5dp" />

    <corners android:radius="8dp" />

    <gradient
        android:angle="270"
        android:startColor="#FFCCCCCC"
        android:centerColor="#FFFFFFFF"
        android:endColor="#FFCCCCCC"
        android:type="linear" />

</shape>
