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.

Answer 1

The CardView worked for me in API 27 in Android Studio 3.0.1. The colorPrimary was referenced in the res/values/colors.xml file and is just an example. For the layout_width of 0dp it will stretch to the width of the parent. You'll have to configure the constraints and width/height to your needs.
