Apply different border style for layout activity in android

Here I share my ideas to apply some different border style for activity that we used in android applications.

I hope that you got some basic idea about adding background style for layout activity. For your reference here I mention my previous article related to background style in android.

Let come to this article, by making border to a whole activity application get more stylish and when it run on mobile the edges will look goods.

First create one xml file in the drawable folder Here I create onel xml file bggrad.xml

Add the below code into the xml file

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:shape="rectangle" >     <gradient         android:endColor="#A0D3F8"         android:gradientRadius="200"         android:startColor="#FFF9FF"         android:type="linear" />     <stroke         android:width="4dp"         android:color="#1582BC" >     </stroke> </shape>

Once you created the file add the file as background for your all layout activity.main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:orientation="vertical"     android:background="@drawable/bggrad">   </LinearLayout>

That’s it your layout will look like below sample screen ,even if you want to apply the corner radius ,add the corner radius tag into bggrad.xml file

<corners android:topLeftRadius="40dp" android:topRightRadius="40dp"

              android:bottomLeftRadius="40dp" android:bottomRightRadius="40dp"></corners>
