Gradient Radius as percentage of screen size

Question

I\'m trying to create a shape drawable with radial gradient background, with radius that will adjust to the screen size (take a look at the relevant documentation).

Answer 1

I ended up creating a custom View with following overriden onDraw method:

@Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    Paint paint = new Paint(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);

    int maxSize = Math.max(getHeight(), getWidth());
    RadialGradient gradient = new RadialGradient(
            getWidth()/2,
            getHeight()/2,
            maxSize, 
            new int[] {Color.RED, Color.BLACK},
            new float[] {0, 1}, 
            android.graphics.Shader.TileMode.CLAMP);

    paint.setDither(true);
    paint.setShader(gradient);

    canvas.drawRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight(), paint);
}

In your layout just add the View:

Of course it would be possible to create attributes for the View, eg. color, percentage to allow customization via XML.
