Question

Hi Can I define this shape without using xml code

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient android:startColor="#34342C" android:endColor="#848486"
    android:angle="90" />
<padding android:left="7dp" android:top="5dp" android:right="7dp"
    android:bottom="5dp" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#FFFFFF" />
</shape>

Thanks for your help

Answer 1

Yes

• use a ShapeDrawable to draw your rectangle with the padding you require
• using a Paint with the appropriate color and stroke width
• using a Linear gradient and adding this to the Paint as a shader
