Question

I am trying to make a border around my layout like this

But what i am trying just change the layout color.
Not make any border.

My code is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
> 

<stroke android:width="1dp"

        android:color="#eedfcc"
        android:background="#000080"/>

<corners android:bottomRightRadius="20dp"
         android:bottomLeftRadius="20dp" 
         android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
         android:topRightRadius="8dp"/> 
</shape>

Why it does not work out?

Answer 1

try this:

STEP 1 : Create the file layout_border.xml in your project’s drawables directory (res/drawable/layout_border.xml) :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> 
    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/> 
    <stroke android:width="3dip" android:color="#B1BCBE" />
    <corners android:radius="10dip"/>
    <padding android:left="0dip" android:top="0dip" android:right="0dip" android:bottom="0dip" />
</shape>

STEP 2:

<EditText 
    android:id="@+id/edittext"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/layout_border"
     />
