I have a TextView defined in XML and i would like to set background color AND border to it.
Problem i have is that in XML i already use android:background
for setting border resource, so i can't use it once again for background color.
Can someone please guide me to right direction?
Border.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" >
<solid android:color="#ffffff" />
<stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#7F000000"/>
</shape>
TextView
<TextView
android:id="@+id/editor_title"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:background="@drawable/title_border"
android:padding="5dp"
android:text="@string/editor_title"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
You should create a XML drawable for this, which can then be set as your single background. Here is what you are wanting (a rectangle with a different color border - replace gradient with if you don't want that).
This will go in your 'drawable' folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="3dp" android:color="@color/blue_button_border" />
<gradient
android:startColor="@color/gradient_end"
android:endColor="@color/gradient_start"
android:angle="-90" />
</shape>
