Question

Answer 1

What your describing sounds like this:

And the inner layout is pushing outside the rounded corners because it isn't rounded. You'll have to round the corners of your bitmap. If you have a repeating bitmap you'll want to look at defining a nine-patch drawable. Round your corners then define the portion of the graphic that can expand.

It'd be nice if we could just add a bitmap to the shape drawable and have that be applied as a skin over whatever shape we're drawing. And, I bet if you know what your doing you could create a Shape subclass that draws a bitmap, but that's not included in Android out of the box unfortunately.
