I need to draw a rounded rectangle in the Android UI. Having the same rounded rectangle for TextView and EditText would also be helpful.

In your layout xml do the following:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">

    <solid android:color="@android:color/holo_red_dark" />

    <corners android:radius="32dp" />

</shape>

By changing the android:radius you can change the amount of "radius" of the corners.

<solid> is used to define the color of the drawable.

You can use replace android:radius with android:bottomLeftRadius, android:bottomRightRadius, android:topLeftRadius and android:topRightRadius to define radius for each corner.
