Custom Layout that rounds the corners of its content

Question

I would like to create a generic ViewGroup which can then be reused in XML layouts to round the corners of anything that is put into it.

For some reason canvas

Answer 1

U need to override the drawChild() method to clip childViews.

@Override
protected boolean drawChild(Canvas canvas, View child, long drawingTime) {
    int flag = canvas.save();
    canvas.clipPath(pathToClip);
    boolean result=super.drawChild(canvas, child, drawingTime);
    canvas.restoreToCount(flag);
    return result;
}

If u want to clip the background of the ViewGroup too,override draw() instead.like this

@Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {
    int flag = canvas.save();
    canvas.clipPath(pathToClip);
    super.draw(canvas);
    canvas.restoreToCount(flag);
}
