I am trying to make a view in android with rounded edges. The solution I found so far is to define a shape with rounded corners and use it as the background of that view.
Here is what I did, define a drawable as given below:
<padding
android:top="2dp"
android:bottom="2dp"/>
<corners android:bottomRightRadius="20dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="20dp"
android:topLeftRadius="20dp"
android:topRightRadius="20dp"/>
Now I used this as the background for my layout as below:
<LinearLayout
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:clipChildren="true"
android:background="@drawable/rounded_corner">
This works perfectly fine, I can see that the view has rounded edges.
But my layout has got many other child views in it, say an ImageView or a MapView
. When I place an ImageView
inside the above layout, the corners of image are not clipped/cropped, instead it appears full.
I have seen other workarounds to make it work like the one explained here.
But is there a method to set rounded corners for a view and all its child views are contained within that main view that has rounded corners?
