I had this drawable to have a rounded rectangle as a background: <shape xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android>

I had this drawable to have a rounded rectangle as a background:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="@color/white" />
    <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="@color/light_gray" />
    <padding android:left="10dp" android:top="10dp" android:right="10dp" android:bottom="10dp" />
    <corners android:radius="6dp" />
</shape>

This is working fine, as expected.

Now, I want to change this to only round the top corners, so I change it to this:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="@color/white" />
    <stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="@color/light_gray" />
    <padding android:left="10dp" android:top="10dp" android:right="10dp" android:bottom="10dp" />
    <corners android:topLeftRadius="6dp" android:topRightRadius="6dp"
             android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp" android:bottomRightRadius="0dp"/>
</shape>

But now none of the corners are rounded and I get a plain rectangle. What am I missing here?

    Try giving these values:

     <corners android:topLeftRadius="6dp" android:topRightRadius="6dp"
             android:bottomLeftRadius="0.1dp" android:bottomRightRadius="0.1dp"/>
    

    Note that I have changed 0dp to 0.1dp.

    EDIT: See Aleks G comment below for a cleaner version
