Since Android Design Support v28 was introduced, it's easy to create a bordered button using MaterialButton. This class supplies updated Material styles for the button in the constructor. Using app:strokeColor and app:strokeWidth you can create a custom border as following:
1. When you use androidx:
build.gradle
dependencies {
implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.1.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.0.0'
}
• Bordered Button:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Colored"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="MATERIAL BUTTON"
android:textSize="15sp"
app:strokeColor="@color/green"
app:strokeWidth="2dp" />
• Unfilled Bordered Button:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="UNFILLED MATERIAL BUTTON"
android:textColor="@color/green"
android:textSize="15sp"
app:backgroundTint="@android:color/transparent"
app:cornerRadius="8dp"
app:rippleColor="#33AAAAAA"
app:strokeColor="@color/green"
app:strokeWidth="2dp" />
2. When you use appcompat:
build.gradle
dependencies {
implementation 'com.android.support:design:28.0.0'
}
style.xml
Ensure your application theme inherits from Theme.MaterialComponents instead of Theme.AppCompat.
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.MaterialComponents.Light.DarkActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
</style>
• Bordered Button:
<android.support.design.button.MaterialButton
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="MATERIAL BUTTON"
android:textSize="15sp"
app:strokeColor="@color/green"
app:strokeWidth="2dp" />
• Unfilled Bordered Button:
<android.support.design.button.MaterialButton
style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="UNFILLED MATERIAL BUTTON"
android:textColor="@color/green"
android:textSize="15sp"
app:backgroundTint="@android:color/transparent"
app:cornerRadius="8dp"
app:rippleColor="#33AAAAAA"
app:strokeColor="@color/green"
app:strokeWidth="2dp" />
