I'd like to round the corners of a view and also change the color of the view based on the contents at runtime.
TextView v = new TextView(context);
v.setText(tagsList.get(i));
if(i%2 == 0){
v.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
}else{
v.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
}
v.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
v.setPadding(twoDP, twoDP, twoDP, twoDP);
v.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.tags_rounded_corners);
I was hoping setting a drawable and color would overlap, but they do not. Whichever one I execute second is the resulting background.
Is there any way to programmatically create this view, keeping in mind that the background color won't be decided until runtime?
edit: I'm only swapping between red and blue now for testing. Later the color will be choosable by the user.
edit:
tags_rounded_corners.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="2dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="2dp"
android:topLeftRadius="2dp"
android:topRightRadius="2dp"/>
</shape>
Instead of setBackgroundColor
, retrieve the background drawable and set its color:
v.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.tags_rounded_corners);
GradientDrawable drawable = (GradientDrawable) v.getBackground();
if (i % 2 == 0) {
drawable.setColor(Color.RED);
} else {
drawable.setColor(Color.BLUE);
}
Also, you can define the padding within your tags_rounded_corners.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
<padding
android:top="2dp"
android:left="2dp"
android:bottom="2dp"
android:right="2dp" />
</shape>
