How to create android drawable consisting of two colors side by side?


Uisng XML is it possible to create a drawable where half of it would be color1 and another half would be color2? When I set that drawable as a background of a view it should look like in the image below.

Solution

  • Doing it by xml:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item android:right="100dp">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <size android:height="100dp" android:width="100dp"/>
            <solid android:color="@android:color/black"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    
    <item android:left="100dp">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <size android:height="100dp" android:width="100dp"/>
            <solid android:color="@android:color/holo_green_light"/>
        </shape>
    </item>
    </layer-list>
    

    Put it in res/drawable folder and assign as android:background to image
