The answer is
Create rounded_btn.xml file in Drawable folder...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="@color/#FFFFFF"/>
<stroke android:width="1dp"
android:color="@color/#000000"
/>
<padding android:left="1dp"
android:top="1dp"
android:right="1dp"
android:bottom="1dp"
/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="5dip" android:bottomLeftRadius="5dip"
android:topLeftRadius="5dip" android:topRightRadius="5dip"/>
</shape>
and use this.xml file as a button background
<Button
android:id="@+id/btn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/rounded_btn"
android:text="Test" />
style button with icon
<Button
android:id="@+id/buttonVisaProgress"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:background="@drawable/shape"
android:onClick="visaProgress"
android:drawableTop="@drawable/ic_1468863158_double_loop"
android:padding="10dp"
android:text="Visa Progress"
android:textColor="@android:color/white" />
shape.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="14dp" />
<gradient
android:angle="45"
android:centerColor="#1FA8D1"
android:centerX="35%"
android:endColor="#060d96"
android:startColor="#0e7e1d"
android:type="linear" />
<padding
android:bottom="0dp"
android:left="0dp"
android:right="0dp"
android:top="0dp" />
<size
android:width="270dp"
android:height="60dp" />
<stroke
android:width="3dp"
android:color="#000000" />
if you are using vector drawables, then you simply need to specify a <corners> element in your drawable definition. I have covered this in a blog post.
If you are using bitmap / 9-patch drawables then you'll need to create the corners with transparency in the bitmap image.
Create an XML file like below one. Set it as background for the button. Change the radius attribute to your wish, if you need more curve for the button.
button_background.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="@color/primary" />
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
Set background to your button:
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/button_background"/>
If you want change corner radius as well as want a ripple effect in button when pressed use this:-
- Put button_background.xml in drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="#F7941D">
<item android:id="@android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#F7941D" />
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="@android:id/background">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<corners android:radius="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</ripple>
- Apply this background to your button
<Button
android:background="@drawable/button_background"
android:id="@+id/myBtn"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:text="My Button" />
Simple way i found out was to make a new xml file in the drawable folder and then point the buttons background to that xml file. heres the code i used:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ff8100"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>
</shape>
create shape.xml in drawable folder
like shape.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<stroke android:width="2dp"
android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
<gradient
android:angle="225"
android:startColor="#DD2ECCFA"
android:endColor="#DD000000"/>
<corners
android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="7dp"
android:topLeftRadius="7dp"
android:topRightRadius="7dp" />
</shape>
and in myactivity.xml
you can use
<Button
android:id="@+id/btn_Shap"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/Shape"
android:background="@drawable/shape"/>
Is there an easy way to achieve this in Android?
Yes, today there is, and it is very simple.
Just use the MaterialButton in the Material Components library with the app:cornerRadius attribute.
Something like:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
android:text="BUTTON"
app:cornerRadius="8dp"
../>
It is enough to obtain a Button with rounded corners.
You can use one of Material button styles. For example:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton"
.../>
Also starting from the version 1.1.0 you can also change the shape of your button. Just use the shapeAppearanceOverlay attribute in the button style:
<style name="MyButtonStyle" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button">
<item name="shapeAppearanceOverlay">@style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded</item>
</style>
<style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded" parent="">
<item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
<item name="cornerSize">16dp</item>
</style>
Then just use:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
style="@style/MyButtonStyle"
.../>
You can also apply the shapeAppearanceOverlay in the xml layout:
<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="@style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded"
.../>
The shapeAppearance allows also to have different shape and dimension for each corner:
<style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded" parent="">
<item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
<item name="cornerFamilyTopRight">cut</item>
<item name="cornerFamilyBottomRight">cut</item>
<item name="cornerSizeTopLeft">32dp</item>
<item name="cornerSizeBottomLeft">32dp</item>
</style>
drawable folder
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
<corners android:radius="30dp"/>
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#999999"/>
</shape>
layout folder
<Button
android:id="@+id/button2"
<!-- add style to avoid square background -->
style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless"
android:background="@drawable/corner_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
/>
make sure add style to avoid square background
You can also use the card layout like below
<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="60dp"
app:cardCornerRadius="30dp">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Template"
/>
</LinearLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
This link has all the information you need. Here
Shape.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#EAEAEA"/>
<corners android:bottomLeftRadius="8dip"
android:topRightRadius="8dip"
android:topLeftRadius="1dip"
android:bottomRightRadius="1dip"
/>
</shape>
and main.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Hello Android from NetBeans"/>
<Button android:id="@+id/button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Nishant Nair"
android:padding="5dip"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/button_shape"
/>
</LinearLayout>
This should give you your desired result.
Best of luck
Create file myButton.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="@color/colorButton"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp"/>
</shape>
add to your button
<Button
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/myButton"/>
Create a xml file in drawable folder like below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
<!-- you can use any color you want I used here gray color-->
<solid android:color="#ABABAB"/>
<corners android:radius="10dp"/>
</shape>
Apply this as background to button you want make corners round.
Or you can use separate radius for every corner like below
android:bottomRightRadius="10dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
android:topRightRadius="10dp"
