Question

I’m making my own search view for Android 2.3.

I have.

• LinearLayout (Horizontal)
• AutoCompleteTextView
• ImageButton

I added the button and AutoCompleteTextView to LinearLayout.

I want to put a corner radius in my own control like the image shown below.

I set this drawable to ImageButton

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
 <item android:state_pressed="true" >
    <shape>
        <solid
            android:color="#27AFE0" />
        <stroke
            android:width="0.5dp"
            android:color="#000000" />
        <corners
            android:topRightRadius="10dp" android:bottomRightRadius="10dp"
android:topLeftRadius="0.1dp"
            android:bottomLeftRadius="0.1dp" />
        <padding
            android:left="10dp"
            android:top="10dp"
            android:right="10dp"
            android:bottom="10dp" />
    </shape>
</item>
<item>
    <shape>
        <solid android:color="#D3DBDE"/>
        <stroke
            android:width="0.5dp"
            android:color="#000000" />
        <corners
            android:topRightRadius="10dp" android:bottomRightRadius="10dp"
android:topLeftRadius="0.1dp"
            android:bottomLeftRadius="0.1dp" />
        <padding
            android:left="10dp"
            android:top="10dp"
            android:right="10dp"
            android:bottom="10dp" />
    </shape>
</item>

drawable to AutoCompleteText

<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <solid android:color="#D3DBDE"/>
        <stroke android:width="0.5dp" android:color="#000000"/>
        <corners android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
            android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"
            android:topRightRadius="0.1dp"
            android:bottomRightRadius="0.1dp"/>
    </shape>
</item>

But when I run this in android 2.3 this is the output (Emulator and Real Device)

If I run also in Android 4.0 . It works fine.

Question is, what’s wrong in my code? Or There’s bug in Android 2.3?

Answer 1

Ok so here is the deal this ticked me off as well. There are 2 things with this.

In your ImageButton Selector, you seemed to copy the attributes for the right corners twice in each corner tag.

The second is a bug in android up until version 3.0. When specifying the corners separately, the bottom left and right corners get flipped.

I have extracted the values out to dimens and put them in two different files,

res/values/corners.xml – with the reversed stuff

res/values-v12/corners.xml – with the sane values in them.
