I am trying to make a border around my layout like this
But what i am trying just change the layout color. Not make any border.
My code is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
>
<stroke android:width="1dp"
android:color="#eedfcc"
android:background="#000080"/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="20dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="20dp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
android:topRightRadius="8dp"/>
</shape>
Why it does not work out?

To insert a simple border graphic around the whole layout (page), use the Insert > Graphics and Text option, selecting Rectangle. Once you've drawn it, you can change the properties to make it hollow (No Fill) and the outline to suit your border requirements.
To add a border to Android TextView we need to create an XML containing shape as a rectangle file under the drawable's folder and set it as background to the TextView. <stroke> tag is used to set the border width and color.
LinearLayout is a view group that aligns all children in a single direction, vertically or horizontally. You can specify the layout direction with the android:orientation attribute. Note: For better performance and tooling support, you should instead build your layout with ConstraintLayout.
Android Layout TypesLinearLayout : is a ViewGroup that aligns all children in a single direction, vertically or horizontally. RelativeLayout : is a ViewGroup that displays child views in relative positions. AbsoluteLayout : allows us to specify the exact location of the child views and widgets.
try this:
STEP 1 : Create the file layout_border.xml in your project's drawables directory (res/drawable/layout_border.xml) :
<?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="0dip" android:top="0dip" android:right="0dip" android:bottom="0dip" />
</shape>
STEP 2:
<EditText
android:id="@+id/edittext"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/layout_border"
/>
Create a file "res/drawable/my_border.xml" and define a shape:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<stroke android:width="4dp" android:color="#FF00FF00" />
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<padding android:left="7dp" android:top="7dp"
android:right="7dp" android:bottom="7dp" />
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
</shape>
Then add this as a background inside your layout tag:
android:background="@drawable/my_border"
