How to create EditText with rounded corners? [closed]

There is an easier way than the one written by CommonsWare. Just create a drawable resource that specifies the way the EditText will be drawn:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!--  res/drawable/rounded_edittext.xml --><shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:shape="rectangle"     android:padding="10dp">    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />    <corners        android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"        android:bottomLeftRadius="15dp"        android:topLeftRadius="15dp"        android:topRightRadius="15dp" /></shape>

Then, just reference this drawable in your layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:orientation="vertical"    android:layout_width="fill_parent"    android:layout_height="fill_parent">    <EditText          android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:padding="5dip"        android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext" /></LinearLayout>

You will get something like:

Based on Mark's comment, I want to add the way you can create different states for your EditText:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!-- res/drawable/rounded_edittext_states.xml --><selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">    <item         android:state_pressed="true"         android:state_enabled="true"        android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_focused" />    <item         android:state_focused="true"         android:state_enabled="true"        android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_focused" />    <item         android:state_enabled="true"        android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_edittext" /></selector>

These are the states:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!-- res/drawable/rounded_edittext_focused.xml --><shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>    <stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#FF0000" />    <corners        android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"        android:bottomLeftRadius="15dp"        android:topLeftRadius="15dp"        android:topRightRadius="15dp" /></shape>

And... now, the EditText should look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:orientation="vertical"    android:layout_width="fill_parent"    android:layout_height="fill_parent">    <EditText          android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         android:text="@string/hello"        android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext_states"        android:padding="5dip" /></LinearLayout>

Here is the same solution (with some extra bonus code) in just one XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><!--  res/drawable/edittext_rounded_corners.xml --><selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_focused="true">    <shape>        <solid android:color="#FF8000"/>        <stroke            android:width="2.3dp"            android:color="#FF8000" />         <corners            android:radius="15dp" />    </shape></item><item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_focused="false">    <shape>        <solid android:color="#FF8000"/>        <stroke            android:width="2.3dp"            android:color="#FF8000" />              <corners            android:radius="15dp" />           </shape></item><item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="true">    <shape>        <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>        <stroke            android:width="2.3dp"            android:color="#FF8000" />          <corners            android:radius="15dp" />                              </shape></item><item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="false">    <shape>        <gradient             android:startColor="#F2F2F2"            android:centerColor="#FFFFFF"            android:endColor="#FFFFFF"            android:angle="270"        />        <stroke            android:width="0.7dp"                            android:color="#BDBDBD" />         <corners            android:radius="15dp" />                </shape></item><item android:state_enabled="true">    <shape>        <padding                 android:left="4dp"                android:top="4dp"                android:right="4dp"                android:bottom="4dp"            />    </shape></item></selector>

You then just set the background attribute to edittext_rounded_corners.xml file:

<EditText  android:id="@+id/editText_name"      android:background="@drawable/edittext_rounded_corners"/>

Try this one,

1. Create rounded_edittext.xml file in your Drawable

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="15dp">    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />    <corners        android:bottomRightRadius="0dp"        android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"        android:topLeftRadius="0dp"        android:topRightRadius="0dp" />    <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#f06060" /></shape>

2. Apply background for your EditText in xml file

   <EditText    android:id="@+id/edit_expiry_date"    android:layout_width="match_parent"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"    android:padding="10dip"    android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext"    android:hint="@string/shop_name"    android:inputType="text" />  

3. You will get output like this
