Rounded corner for textview in android

Question

I have a textview and want its corner to be in round shape. I already know it can be done using android:background="@drawable/somefile". In my case, this tag is already included so cannot use again. e.g android:background="@drawable/mydialogbox" is already there to create image in background

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="top"
    android:background="@drawable/mydialogbox"
    android:orientation="horizontal" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textview_name"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
        android:layout_centerHorizontal="true" />

    </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

so when I want textview(textview_name) also with round corner, how this can be achieved.

Answer 1

1. Create rounded_corner.xml in the drawable folder and add the following content,

   <solid android:color="#ffffff" />
   
   <padding
           android:left="1dp"
           android:right="1dp"
           android:bottom="1dp"
           android:top="1dp" />
   
   <corners android:radius="5dp" />
   

2. Set this drawable in the TextView background property like so:

   android:background="@drawable/rounded_corner"
   

I hope this is useful for you.
