shapedrawable

It seems I cannot set ShapeDrawable as progressDrawable for Ratingbar. I tried the following but failed: <RatingBar android:id="@+id/ratingbar" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:numStars="5" android:stepSize="1.0" android:rating="3.0" style="@style/myRatingBar" /> myRatingbar style: <style name="myRatingBar" parent="@android:style/Widget.RatingBar"> <item name="android:progressDrawable">@drawable/ratingbar_full</item> <item name="android:indeterminateDrawable">@drawable/ratingbar_full</item> <item name=

I've been trying to add a shape drawable as the marker icon for a marker I want to add on the map. shape looks like this (res/drawable/blue_circle.xml): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="oval" > <size android:width="15dp" android:height="15dp" /> <solid android:color="@color/Blue" /> </shape> and I try to add the marker like this: markerOptions.icon(BitmapDescriptorFactory.fromResource(R.drawable.blue_circle)); Apparently I get a NullPointer exception.

I want to make a drawable for my Android button, defined as drawable. I found I could set all the borders by using a rectangle, but I got kinda stuck when I wanted it on three sides.

I'm trying to create a shape drawable with radial gradient background, with radius that will adjust to the screen size (take a look at the relevant documentation ). This is my code: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" > <gradient android:endColor="#000" android:gradientRadius="50%p" android:startColor="#5d2456" android:type="radial" /> </shape> But it doens't seem to work. if I remove the "%p", it works, but then the radius will be static, thus not adjusting to the screen size...Any idea what's wrong
