How to add Rounded Corner borders to Android Layout

 How to add Rounded Corner borders to Android Layout

Create a xml file under your drawable folder with following code. (The name of the file I created is rounded_corner.xml)

rounded_corner.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<shape

    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:shape="rectangle">



    <!-- view background color -->

    <solid

        android:color="#a9c5ac" >

    </solid>



    <!-- view border color and width -->

    <stroke

        android:width="3dp"

        android:color="#1c1b20" >

    </stroke>



    <!-- If you want to add some padding -->

    <padding

        android:left="4dp"

        android:top="4dp"

        android:right="4dp"

        android:bottom="4dp"    >

    </padding>



    <!-- Here is the corner radius -->

    <corners

        android:radius="10dp"   >

    </corners>



</shape>

And keep this drawable as background for the view to which you want to keep rounded corner border. Let’s keep it for a LinearLayout

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:background="@drawable/rounded_corner"

        android:layout_centerInParent="true">

         

        <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:text="Hi, This layout has rounded corner borders ..."

            android:gravity="center"

            android:padding="5dp"/>

         

    </LinearLayout>
