How to add Rounded Corner borders to Android Layout

If you want to add rounded corner to any kind of android view like linear layout, relative layout, button etc., follow the below method

Create a xml file under your drawable folder with following code. (The name of the file I created is rounded_corner.xml)

rounded_corner.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<shape

    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:shape="rectangle">

    <!-- view background color -->

    <solid

        android:color="#a9c5ac" >

    </solid>

    <!-- view border color and width -->

    <stroke

        android:width="3dp"

        android:color="#1c1b20" >

    </stroke>

    <!-- If you want to add some padding -->

    <padding

        android:left="4dp"

        android:top="4dp"

        android:right="4dp"

        android:bottom="4dp"    >

    </padding>

    <!-- Here is the corner radius -->

    <corners

        android:radius="10dp"   >

    </corners>

</shape>

And keep this drawable as background for the view to which you want to keep rounded corner border. Let’s keep it for a LinearLayout

<LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content"

        android:layout_height="wrap_content"

        android:background="@drawable/rounded_corner"

        android:layout_centerInParent="true">

         

        <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"

            android:text="Hi, This layout has rounded corner borders ..."

            android:gravity="center"

            android:padding="5dp"/>

         

    </LinearLayout>
