How to use a shape drawable together with an image?

Question

I have this difficulty to have both rounded corner and a background image in my LinearLayout.

I know I can achive the rounded corner by using the shape drawable XML, but if I put the shape drawable as the background of my LinearLayout with android:background=@drawable/rounded_corner then I cannot assign any image to be used as a background.

How can I get both a rounded corner with a background image in my LinearLayout? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Answer 1

You could use LayerDrawable, which could contain as many layers(shapes or images) as you need. You can create it either as resource or programmatically.

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_corners" android:id="@+id/rounded_corners"/>
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/additional_image" android:id="@+id/additional_image" />
</layer-list>

Answer 2

for those who seeks a different answer

in the xml

<string-array name="ulke_isimleri">
    <item>kan</item>
    <item>kebapeli</item>
</string-array>

<array name="ulke_gorselleri">
    <item>@drawable/kan1</item>
    <item>@drawable/esyalar_kebap_adana</item>
</array>

in the oncreate or general

 String[] ulkeAdlari =getResources().getStringArray(R.array.ulke_isimleri);
 TypedArray ulkeGorselleri = getResources().obtainTypedArray(R.array.ulke_gorselleri);

as a function

 @Override
    public Drawable getDrawable(int position) {

         Drawable[] drawable = new Drawable[] { 
                 ulkeGorseli.getDrawable(position   ) 
                 ,
                 new TextDrawable(ulkeAdlari[ position   ]  )
         };
        return new LayerDrawable(drawable);
    }
