How to make layout with rounded corners..?

Question

How can I make a layout with rounded corners? I want to apply rounded corners to my LinearLayout.

Answer 1

With the Material Components Library you can use the MaterialShapeDrawable to draw custom shapes.

Just put the LinearLayout in your xml layout:

Then in your code you can apply a ShapeAppearanceModel. Something like:

float radius = getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.default_corner_radius);

LinearLayout linearLayout= findViewById(R.id.linear_rounded);
ShapeAppearanceModel shapeAppearanceModel = new ShapeAppearanceModel()
    .toBuilder()
    .setAllCorners(CornerFamily.ROUNDED,radius)
    .build();

MaterialShapeDrawable shapeDrawable = new MaterialShapeDrawable(shapeAppearanceModel);
//Fill the LinearLayout with your color
shapeDrawable.setFillColor(ContextCompat.getColorStateList(this,R.color.secondaryLightColor));


ViewCompat.setBackground(linearLayout,shapeDrawable);

Note:: it requires the version 1.1.0 of the material components library.
