How to draw rounded rectangle in Android UI?

In monodroid, you can do like this for rounded rectangle, and then keeping this as a parent class, editbox and other layout features can be added.

 class CustomeView : TextView
    {
       public CustomeView (Context context, IAttributeSet ) : base (context, attrs)  
        {  
        }
       public CustomeView(Context context, IAttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) : base(context, attrs, defStyle)  
        {  
        }
       protected override void OnDraw(Android.Graphics.Canvas canvas)
       {
           base.OnDraw(canvas);
           Paint p = new Paint();
           p.Color = Color.White;
           canvas.DrawColor(Color.DarkOrange);

           Rect rect = new Rect(0,0,3,3);

           RectF rectF = new RectF(rect);


           canvas.DrawRoundRect( rectF, 1,1, p);



       }  
    }
}

I think, this is you exactly needed.

Here drawable(xml) file that creates rounded rectangle. round_rect_shape.xml

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

    <solid android:color="#ffffff" />

    <corners
        android:bottomLeftRadius="8dp"
        android:bottomRightRadius="8dp"
        android:topLeftRadius="8dp"
        android:topRightRadius="8dp" />

</shape>

Here layout file: my_layout.xml

<LinearLayout
    android:id="@+id/linearLayout1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/round_rect_shape"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:padding="5dp" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/textView1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="Something text"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:textColor="#ff0000" />

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/editText1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <requestFocus />
    </EditText>
</LinearLayout>

-> In the above code, LinearLayout having the background(That is the key role to place to create rounded rectangle). So you can place any view like TextView, EditText... in that LinearLayout to see background as round rectangle for all.


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.
