If you want make a border in a shape xml  You need to use   For the external border you need to use    lt stroke  gt    For the internal background you need to use    lt solid  gt    If you want to set corners you need to use    lt corners  gt    If you want a padding betwen border and the internal elements you need to use    lt padding  gt    Here is a shape xml example using the above items  It works for me   lt shape xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt      lt stroke android width  2dp  android color   D0CFCC    gt      lt solid android color   F8F7F5    gt      lt corners android radius  10dp    gt     lt padding android left  2dp  android top  2dp  android right  2dp  android bottom  2dp    gt   lt  shape gt
