Create borders on a android view in drawable xml, on 3 sides?


I want to make a drawable for my Android button, defined as drawable. I found I could set all the borders by using a rectangle, but I got kinda stuck when I wanted it on three sides. I want for example have either the top or the bottom open.

Could anyone show me how to do this?


Solution

  • Try doing this, though I saw it on some other post

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    
    <item>
    <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
        <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
        <padding
            //android:bottom="10dp"  Remove this to avoid seeing the bottom border 
            android:left="10dp"
            android:right="10dp"
            //android:top="10dp"  Remove this to avoid seeing the top border
        />
    
        <corners android:radius="5dp" />
    </shape>
    </item>
    <item>
    <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
        <padding
            android:bottom="5dp"
            android:left="5dp"
            android:right="5dp"
            android:top="5dp" />
    
        <solid android:color="#666666" />
    </shape>
    </item>
    </layer-list>
