If you create an outset border in CSS the browser varies the border colour

  • 0

If you create an outset border in CSS the browser varies the border colour for each edge to make the shape appear to protrude from its parent.

Is there an easy way to do this in an android layout or do I need to set each line colour manually?

    Set the background of an ImageView to a 9 patched drawable resource with the desired shadow/bevel around the edge. Lets say it takes 5 pixels to create the effect you want. Then set the padding of the ImageView to 5 pixels. Then set the bitmap to any image.

    ImageView.setBackgroundDrawable

    ImageView.setPadding

    ImageView.setImageBitmap

    Even easier, use a shape with a stroked border and set it as the background of the view:

    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#00000000" />
<stroke android:width="1px" android:color="#ffffff" /></shape>
