Stroke (outline around the shape) Sometimes you want an outline around your shape and to do that you can use the stroke tag. You can specify the width and color of the outline using android:width and android:color.
Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project. Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main. xml. In the above code we have taken one text view with background as border so we need to create a file in drawable as boarder.
You can achieve this by using a layerlist and messing with the padding. You'll need 3 elements:
1: A border.xml shape, which is just a solid shape in the color of your border: border.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <solid android:color="#ff0000"/> </shape> 2: The 'inner' shape, the shape where you want the border to appear around: inner.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <solid android:color="#00ff00"/> </shape> 3: A layer list, which will put these 2 on top of eachother. You create the border by setting the padding on the inner shape: layerlist.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item android:drawable="@drawable/border"/> <item android:drawable="@drawable/inner" android:top="3dp" android:right="0dp" android:bottom="3dp" android:left="3dp" /> </layer-list> If you love us?
