Yes you can and here is one I made earlier    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  UTF-8   gt   lt shape xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  android id    id listview background shape  gt       lt stroke android width  2dp  android color   ff207d94    gt       lt padding android left  2dp          android top  2dp          android right  2dp          android bottom  2dp    gt       lt corners android radius  5dp    gt       lt solid android color   ffffffff    gt   lt  shape gt    You can create a new XML file inside the drawable folder  and add the above code  then save it as rectangle xml   To use it inside a layout you would set the android background attribute to the new drawable shape  The shape we have defined does not have any dimensions  and therefore will take the dimensions of the View that is defined in the layout   So putting it all together    lt View     android id    id myRectangleView      android layout width  200dp      android layout height  50dp      android background   drawable rectangle   gt    Finally  you can set this rectangle to be the background of any View  although for ImageViews you would use android src  This means you could use the rectangle as the background for ListViews  TextViews   etc
