I am trying to build Android Button with rounded corners. But along the rounded corners (bottom left & right corner), there is unwanted grey color shadow around it.
Here's my code:
drawable/my_button.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#ffa6c575" />
<solid android:color="#ffa6c575"/>
<corners android:radius="15dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
Then in layout xml file, I have:
<LinearLayout
<Button
android:id="@+id/buy_button"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/my_button"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"
android:text="BUY" />
<View
android:layout_width="10dp"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@android:color/transparent" >
</View>
<Button
android:id="@+id/sell_button"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="35dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/my_button"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"
android:text="SELL" />
</LinearLayout>
1) How can I get rid of the extra grey color shadow around rounded corners (bottom left & right corner)?
2) Button has default ripple effect. How can I maintain the default ripple effect?
I finally solved it with below code. This achieve rounded corners for button. Also, for Android Version >= V21, it uses ripple effect. For earlier Android version, button color changes when it is clicked, based on android:state_pressed, android:state_focused
, etc.
In layout xml
file:
<Button
style="?android:attr/borderlessButtonStyle"
android:id="@+id/buy_button"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/green_trading_button_effect"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"
android:text="BUY" />
For button onclick ripple effect (Android >= v21) :
drawable-v21/green_trading_button_effect.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:color="@color/ripple_material_dark">
<item android:id="@android:id/mask">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/green_trading_button" />
</ripple>
For earlier Android version, just change background color during onclick:
drawable/green_trading_button_effect.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:state_pressed="true" android:drawable="@drawable/green_trading_button_selected" />
<item android:state_focused="true" android:drawable="@drawable/green_trading_button_selected" />
<item android:state_selected="true" android:drawable="@drawable/green_trading_button_selected" />
<item android:drawable="@drawable/green_trading_button" />
</selector>
drawable/green_trading_button.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffa6c575"/>
<!-- rounded corners -->
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
drawable/green_trading_button_selected.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#ffc5dca8"/>
<!-- corners corners -->
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
