LayerDrawable programmatically
android, drawable, layerdrawable
Solution
I finally got it working. Instead of using `GradientDrawable` I used `ShapeDrawable`.
By setting this `LayerDrawable` as an `EditText` background you can regenerate default `EditText` styles with custom colors.
ShapeDrawable border = new ShapeDrawable();
border.getPaint().setColor(Color.WHITE);
ShapeDrawable background = new ShapeDrawable();
background.getPaint().setColor(Color.BLACK);
ShapeDrawable clip = new ShapeDrawable();
clip.getPaint().setColor(Color.WHITE);
Drawable[] layers = {background, border, clip};
LayerDrawable layerDrawable = new LayerDrawable(layers);
layerDrawable.setLayerInset(0, 0, 0, 0, 0);
layerDrawable.setLayerInset(1, 1, 0, 1, 1);
layerDrawable.setLayerInset(2, 0, 0, 0, 10);
Problem
Since my application's color theme is dynamic i can only create background drawables using colors and shapedrawables, i want to build a edittext background drawable with colors and shapes as shown below. But i want to do this programatically How to build this same drawable programatically? ``` <item> <shape> <solid android:color="@android:color/yellow" /> </shape> </item> <!-- main color --> <item android:bottom="1dp" android:left="1dp" android:right="1dp"> <shape> <solid android:color="@android:color/white" /> </shape> </item> <!-- draw another block to cut-off the left and right bars --> <item android:bottom="10dp"> <shape> <solid android:color="@android:color/white" /> </shape> </item> ``` this is what i tried.... ``` GradientDrawable border = new GradientDrawable(); border.setShape(GradientDrawable.RECTANGLE); border.setColor(Color.WHITE); GradientDrawable background = new GradientDrawable(); background.setShape(GradientDrawable.RECTANGLE); background.setColor(Color.YELLOW); GradientDrawable clip = new GradientDrawable(); clip.setShape(GradientDrawable.RECTANGLE); border.setColor(Color.WHITE); Drawable[] layers = {background, border, clip}; LayerDrawable layerDrawable = new LayerDrawable(layers); layerDrawable.setLayerInset(0, 0, 0, 0, 0); layerDrawable.setLayerInset(1, 1, 0, 1, 1); layerDrawable.setLayerInset(2, 0, 0, 0, 10); ``` but the result is different....please help....!
