How to programmatically round corners and set random background colors

Question

I\'d like to round the corners of a view and also change the color of the view based on the contents at runtime.

TextView v = new TextView(context);
v.setTex         


        

Answer 1

I think the fastest way to do this is:

GradientDrawable gradientDrawable = new GradientDrawable(
            GradientDrawable.Orientation.TOP_BOTTOM, //set a gradient direction 
            new int[] {0xFF757775,0xFF151515}); //set the color of gradient
gradientDrawable.setCornerRadius(10f); //set corner radius

//Apply background to your view
View view = (RelativeLayout) findViewById( R.id.my_view );
if(Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=16)
     view.setBackground(gradientDrawable);
else view.setBackgroundDrawable(gradientDrawable);
