[android] How to create EditText with rounded corners?

Is there any way to create EditText that has rounded corners?

This question is related to android android-edittext views rounded-corners

The answer is


With the Material Components Library you can use the MaterialShapeDrawable to draw custom shapes.

With a EditText you can do:

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/edittext"
        ../>

Then create a MaterialShapeDrawable:

float radius = getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.default_corner_radius);

EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.edittext);
//Apply the rounded corners 
ShapeAppearanceModel shapeAppearanceModel = new ShapeAppearanceModel()
                .toBuilder()
                .setAllCorners(CornerFamily.ROUNDED,radius)
                .build();

MaterialShapeDrawable shapeDrawable = 
            new MaterialShapeDrawable(shapeAppearanceModel);
//Apply a background color
shapeDrawable.setFillColor(ContextCompat.getColorStateList(this,R.color.white));
//Apply a stroke
shapeDrawable.setStroke(2.0f, ContextCompat.getColor(this,R.color.colorAccent));

ViewCompat.setBackground(editText,shapeDrawable);

It requires the version 1.1.0 of the library.


By my way of thinking, it already has rounded corners.

In case you want them more rounded, you will need to:

  1. Clone all of the nine-patch PNG images that make up an EditText background (found in your SDK)
  2. Modify each to have more rounded corners
  3. Clone the XML StateListDrawable resource that combines those EditText backgrounds into a single Drawable, and modify it to point to your more-rounded nine-patch PNG files
  4. Use that new StateListDrawable as the background for your EditText widget

Here is the same solution (with some extra bonus code) in just one XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--  res/drawable/edittext_rounded_corners.xml -->
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_focused="true">
    <shape>
        <solid android:color="#FF8000"/>
        <stroke
            android:width="2.3dp"
            android:color="#FF8000" />
         <corners
            android:radius="15dp" />
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_focused="false">
    <shape>
        <solid android:color="#FF8000"/>
        <stroke
            android:width="2.3dp"
            android:color="#FF8000" />      
        <corners
            android:radius="15dp" />       
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="true">
    <shape>
        <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
        <stroke
            android:width="2.3dp"
            android:color="#FF8000" />  
        <corners
            android:radius="15dp" />                          
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="false">
    <shape>
        <gradient 
            android:startColor="#F2F2F2"
            android:centerColor="#FFFFFF"
            android:endColor="#FFFFFF"
            android:angle="270"
        />
        <stroke
            android:width="0.7dp"                
            android:color="#BDBDBD" /> 
        <corners
            android:radius="15dp" />            
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:state_enabled="true">
    <shape>
        <padding 
                android:left="4dp"
                android:top="4dp"
                android:right="4dp"
                android:bottom="4dp"
            />
    </shape>
</item>

</selector>

You then just set the background attribute to edittext_rounded_corners.xml file:

<EditText  android:id="@+id/editText_name"
      android:background="@drawable/edittext_rounded_corners"/>

Try this one,

  1. Create rounded_edittext.xml file in your Drawable

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="15dp">
    
        <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
        <corners
            android:bottomRightRadius="0dp"
            android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"
            android:topLeftRadius="0dp"
            android:topRightRadius="0dp" />
        <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#f06060" />
    </shape>
    
  2. Apply background for your EditText in xml file

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/edit_expiry_date"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:padding="10dip"
        android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext"
        android:hint="@string/shop_name"
        android:inputType="text" />  
    
  3. You will get output like this

enter image description here


If you want only corner should curve not whole end, then use below code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <corners android:radius="10dp" />

    <padding
        android:bottom="3dp"
        android:left="0dp"
        android:right="0dp"
        android:top="3dp" />

    <gradient
        android:angle="90"
        android:endColor="@color/White"
        android:startColor="@color/White" />

    <stroke
        android:width="1dp"
        android:color="@color/Gray" />

</shape>

It will only curve the four angle of EditText.


Thanks for Norfeldt's answer. I slightly changed its gradient for a better inner shadow effect.

<item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="false">
    <shape>
        <gradient
            android:centerY="0.2"
            android:startColor="#D3D3D3"
            android:centerColor="#65FFFFFF"
            android:endColor="#00FFFFFF"
            android:angle="270"
            />
        <stroke
            android:width="0.7dp"
            android:color="#BDBDBD" />
        <corners
            android:radius="15dp" />
    </shape>
</item>

Looks great in a light backgrounded layout..

Just to add to the other answers, I found that the simplest solution to achieve the rounded corners was to set the following as a background to your Edittext.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>
    <corners android:radius="8dp"/>

</shape>
