Rounded Inner Corners With Transparent Inside Frame

I am trying to make a frame from code so that I can apply it to make rounded inner corners with a solid fill outside and transparent inside. Just like a solid rectangle with transp

Solution 1:

create the following rounded_corner.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><layer-listxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><itemandroid:bottom="-10dp"android:left="-10dp"android:right="-10dp"android:top="-10dp"><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><strokeandroid:width="10dp"android:color="#ffffff" /><cornersandroid:radius="20dp" /></shape></item></layer-list>

add this below your imageView, which you want to apply the frame on it:

<View
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/my_image_view"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@id/my_image_view"
    android:layout_alignRight="@+id/my_image_view"
    android:layout_alignTop="@id/my_image_view"
    android:background="@drawable/rounded_corner" />

Solution 2:

First of all, create 3 xmllayout in drawable folder:

1. First: frame.xml
2. Second: frame_build.xml
3. Third: red.xml

(You can change this name as you wish),

frame.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><layer-listxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><itemandroid:bottom="20dp"android:drawable="@drawable/red"android:top="-25dp" /><itemandroid:bottom="15dp"android:drawable="@drawable/frame_build"android:top="5dp"android:left="-5dp"android:right="-5dp" /></layer-list>

frame_build.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><shapexmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:shape="rectangle"><paddingandroid:left="10dp"android:top="10dp"android:right="10dp"android:bottom="10dp" /><cornersandroid:radius="40dp" /></shape>

red.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><shapexmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:shape="rectangle"><strokeandroid:width="40dp"android:height="40dp"android:color="#B22222" /><paddingandroid:left="8dp"android:top="-1dp"android:right="8dp"android:bottom="9dp" /><cornersandroid:radius="-10dp" /></shape>

Finally refer your view or layout to Frame XML as follow :

  android:background="@drawable/frame"

This tested and output as below image:

Hope this help .

Solution 3:

tweaking @Nima K solution, to avoid using an extra View

create frame.xml @ drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><layer-listxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><itemandroid:bottom="-10dp"android:left="-10dp"android:right="-10dp"android:top="-10dp"><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><strokeandroid:width="20dp"android:color="@color/frame_color" /><cornersandroid:radius="30dp" /></shape></item><item><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><solidandroid:color="@android:color/transparent" /><strokeandroid:width="20dp"android:color="@color/frame_color" /><cornersandroid:radius="40dp" /></shape></item></layer-list>

Then use it with 'android:background' attribute of your view

<TextView
        android:id="@+id/text"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:background="@drawable/frame" />

And this is the result

Solution 4:

Maybe more simply;

<insetxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:inset="-6dp"><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><solidandroid:color="#FFFFFF" /><strokeandroid:width="12dp"android:color="#000000" /><cornersandroid:radius="16dp" /></shape></inset>
