Rounded corner for textview in android

Question

I have a textview and want its corner to be in round shape. I already know it can be done using android:background="@drawable/somefile". In my case, this tag is already included so cannot use again. e.g android:background="@drawable/mydialogbox" is already there to create image in background

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="fill_parent"     android:layout_gravity="top"     android:background="@drawable/mydialogbox"     android:orientation="horizontal" >      <TextView         android:id="@+id/textview_name"         android:layout_alignParentTop="true"         android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />      </LinearLayout>  </RelativeLayout> 

so when I want textview(textview_name) also with round corner, how this can be achieved.

Answer 1

1. Create rounded_corner.xml in the drawable folder and add the following content,

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >             <stroke        android:width="1dp"        android:color="@color/common_border_color" />     <solid android:color="#ffffff" />     <padding         android:left="1dp"         android:right="1dp"         android:bottom="1dp"         android:top="1dp" />     <corners android:radius="5dp" /> </shape> 

2. Set this drawable in the TextView background property like so:

   android:background="@drawable/rounded_corner" 

I hope this is useful for you.
