How to Apply Corner Radius to LinearLayout

android, android-layout

Solution

You can create an XML file in the drawable folder. Call it, for example, `shape.xml`

In `shape.xml`:

<shape
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle"   >
    
    <solid
        android:color="#888888" >
    </solid>
    
    <stroke
        android:width="2dp"
        android:color="#C4CDE0" >
    </stroke>
     
    <padding
        android:left="5dp"
        android:top="5dp"
        android:right="5dp"
        android:bottom="5dp"    >
    </padding>
     
    <corners
        android:radius="11dp"   >
    </corners>
     
</shape>

The `<corner>` tag is for your specific question.

Make changes as required.

And in your `whatever_layout_name.xml`:

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_margin="5dp"
    android:background="@drawable/shape"    >
</LinearLayout>

This is what I usually do in my apps.

Problem

I want to make a layout with a rounded border. How can I apply a radius of a particular size in a `LinearLayout`?
