How to make a view with rounded corners?

Question

I am trying to make a view in android with rounded edges. The solution I found so far is to define a shape with rounded corners and use it as the background of that view.

If you are having problem while adding touch listeners to the layout. Use this layout as parent layout.

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.RectF;
import android.graphics.Region;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.util.DisplayMetrics;
import android.util.TypedValue;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.FrameLayout;

public class RoundedCornerLayout extends FrameLayout {
    private final static float CORNER_RADIUS = 6.0f;
    private float cornerRadius;

    public RoundedCornerLayout(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init(context, null, 0);
    }

    public RoundedCornerLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init(context, attrs, 0);
    }

    public RoundedCornerLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        init(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    private void init(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        DisplayMetrics metrics = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
        cornerRadius = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, CORNER_RADIUS, metrics);
        setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
    }


    @Override
    protected void dispatchDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        int count = canvas.save();

        final Path path = new Path();
        path.addRoundRect(new RectF(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight()), cornerRadius, cornerRadius, Path.Direction.CW);
        canvas.clipPath(path, Region.Op.REPLACE);

        canvas.clipPath(path);
        super.dispatchDraw(canvas);
        canvas.restoreToCount(count);
    }


}
