Android: give a webview rounded corners?

Question

I\'m trying to give my webView rounded corners.

rounded_webview.xml:

Answer 1

I use an image that looks like a picture frame, where I give the frame the rounded corners. I lay this picture frame over the view I'm trying to give the rounded corners to.

The trick is to use a RelativeLayout; place your layout inside it. Below your layout, add another ImageView, setting its background to a suitable masking image frame. This will draw that on top of your other layout.

In my case, I made a 9Patch file which was a grey background, with a transparent rounded rectangle cut out of it.

This creates the perfect mask for your underlying layout.

The XML code could be something like this:
