How to create an EditText
that has rounded corners instead of the default rectangular-shaped corners?
There is an easier way than the one written by CommonsWare. Just create a drawable resource that specifies the way the EditText
will be drawn:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- res/drawable/rounded_edittext.xml -->
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle"
android:padding="10dp">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="15dp"
android:topLeftRadius="15dp"
android:topRightRadius="15dp" />
</shape>
Then, just reference this drawable in your layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="5dip"
android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext" />
</LinearLayout>
You will get something like:
Based on Mark's comment, I want to add the way you can create different states for your EditText
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- res/drawable/rounded_edittext_states.xml -->
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:state_pressed="true"
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_focused" />
<item
android:state_focused="true"
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_focused" />
<item
android:state_enabled="true"
android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_edittext" />
</selector>
These are the states:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- res/drawable/rounded_edittext_focused.xml -->
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#FF0000" />
<corners
android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="15dp"
android:topLeftRadius="15dp"
android:topRightRadius="15dp" />
</shape>
And... now, the EditText
should look like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<EditText
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="@string/hello"
android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext_states"
android:padding="5dip" />
</LinearLayout>
