Why using selector as the root tag  selector is used for applying multiple alternate drawables for different states of the view  so in this case  there is no need for selector   Try the following code    lt  xml version  1 0  encoding  utf-8   gt   lt shape xmlns android  http   schemas android com apk res android  gt        lt  -- Background Color -- gt       lt solid android color   ffffff    gt        lt  -- Border Color -- gt       lt stroke android width  1dp  android color   ff9900    gt        lt  -- Round Corners -- gt       lt corners android radius  5dp    gt    lt  shape gt    Also It s worth mentioning that all color entries support alpha channel as well  meaning that you can have transparent or semi-transparent colors  For example  RRGGBBAA
