Cutting the corners off a layout

import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.drawable.shapes.Shape;

public class WeirdShape extends Shape {
    private static final int    COLOUR       = Color.BLACK;
    private static final float  STROKE_WIDTH = 1.0f;
    private static final float  CORNER = 35.0f;

    private final Paint border = new Paint();
    private final Path  path;  

    public WeirdShape() {
       path   = new Path();

        border.setColor      (COLOUR);
        border.setStyle      (Paint.Style.FILL);
        border.setStrokeWidth(STROKE_WIDTH);
        border.setAntiAlias  (true);
        border.setDither     (true);
        border.setStrokeJoin (Paint.Join.ROUND);  
        border.setStrokeCap  (Paint.Cap.ROUND);  
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResize(float width, float height) {
        super.onResize(width, height);

        float dx = STROKE_WIDTH/2.0f;
        float dy = STROKE_WIDTH/2.0f;
        float x  = dx;
        float y  = dy;
        float w  = width  - dx;
        float h  = height - dy;

        //RectF arc = new RectF(x,h-2*CORNER,x+2*CORNER,h);

        path.reset();
        path.moveTo(x + CORNER,y);
        path.lineTo(w - CORNER,y);
        path.lineTo(w,y + CORNER);
        path.lineTo(w, h);
        path.lineTo(x + CORNER,h);
       // path.arcTo (arc,90.0f,90.0f);
        path.lineTo(dx,h - CORNER);
        path.lineTo(dx,y);//path.lineTo(dx,y + CORNER);
        path.close();
    }


    @Override
    public void draw(Canvas canvas, Paint paint) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        canvas.drawPath(path,border);
    }
}

and then use the custom Shape in a ShapeDrawable as the background Drawable:

view.setBackground(new ShapeDrawable(new WeirdShape()));

Which looks something like:

You can use the ShapeAppearanceModel provided by the Material Components Library:

    <LinearLayout
        android:id="@+id/layout"
        ..>

with:

    val radius = resources.getDimension(R.dimen.cornerSize16)

    val linearLayout = findViewById<LinearLayout>(R.id.layout)
    val shapeAppearanceModel = ShapeAppearanceModel()
        .toBuilder()
        .setTopRightCorner(CornerFamily.CUT, radius)
        .setBottomLeftCorner(CornerFamily.CUT, radius)
        .build()

    val shapeDrawable = MaterialShapeDrawable(shapeAppearanceModel)
    ViewCompat.setBackground(linearLayout, shapeDrawable)
