I want to add shadow effect to my ImageView, like a transparent from bottom side. Here two images with and without shadow effect. Has any possible ways to make like this? Or is it better to take shadow svg file from the internet and put on the original imageView?
You can put your image in the same space with a gradient image using a RelativeLayot like this:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/your_image"/>
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/grad"/>
</RelativeLayout>
The "grad" image is this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<gradient
android:angle="270"
android:endColor="#181818"
android:startColor="#00000000 " />
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>

How to add top rounded corners to an ImageView.
I've tried with the following method and it doesn't work.
imgView.setClipToOutline(true);
its better to create drawable file with radius just on top and set as a background.
You can create custom backgroung
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<solid android:color="#android:color/darker_gray"/>
<corners android:topRightRadius="10dp"
android:bottomRightRadius="0dp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"/>
</shape>
set in imageview like this
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/ic_launcher"
android:background="#drawable/shape"/>
you can create a drawable for this or use this library for better result

The number 4 circle
As you see in the image there is number '4' in a circle within a text and it has a background color. It works as a reference when you click it opens a link in the browser. Is that something can be done in textview using spannable or any other way?
You can achieve this using Drawable.
Simply create background.xml in Drawable.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid
android:color="#color/colorAccent"/>
</shape>
And apply background in TextView,
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/background"
android:gravity="center"
android:paddingLeft="16dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:paddingTop="14dp"
android:paddingBottom="14dp"
android:text="04"
It will generate the result like this,
As you can see here, the background to the button is transparent. I can't seem to find where it's set to white in either xml files. The button is identified as btnCapture the code is below.
activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:id="#+id/container"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity">
<TextureView
android:id="#+id/textureView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_above="#+id/btnCapture" />
<Button
android:text="#string/capture"
android:id="#+id/btnCapture"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="92dp"
android:background="#drawable/rounded_button"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_centerInParent="true"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteX="157dp"
tools:layout_editor_absoluteY="202dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
rounded_button.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<stroke android:color="#80000000"
android:width="2dp"></stroke>
<stroke android:color="#D3D3D3"></stroke>
<size android:width="60dp"
android:height="80dp"></size>
</shape>
You do not change anything related to the UI of the button in your Java code, so no, it's not because of the Java code. It's XML related.
Your background of the button is a drawable named 'rounded_button', but you haven't posted the contents of that drawable file. So all we can do is guess that the rounded_button drawable is white?
There are two quick steps you can take to make this work the exact way you desire:
First, change your view from a Button to a TextView and apply your rounded-button.xml background. This should work instantly. It's a bit tricky trying to set a background to a button as seen here.
Secondly, I noticed that your rounded-button.xml file has no solid element. The solid element allows you to set the background of a layout. For this reason, I changed one of your stroke elements to a solid element (there shouldn't be two stroke elements anyway). Your updated rounded_button.xml code is as shown below:
PS: Don't forget to change the view in your activity_main.xml from Button to TextView!
<shape
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<stroke android:color="#80000000"
android:width="2dp">
</stroke>
<solid
android:color="#D3D3D3">
</solid>
<size
android:width="60dp"
android:height="80dp">
</size>
</shape>
I hope this helps. Merry coding!
I have a DrawerLayout with navigation menu(there is list of menu elements), I want to change some properties. Currently it looks like this
and I need something like:
So how is it possible to change color text, imageview tint, marginLeft and small green line?
List item is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/mynavigationbackground"
android:paddingLeft="20dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/navigation_item_icon"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:src="#drawable/ic_menu_gallery"
android:tint="#109039"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/navigation_item_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Gallery"
android:textStyle="bold"
android:textColor="#109039"/>
</LinearLayout>
For change background color I use these xml files:
mynavigationbackground:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/navigationactivated" android:state_pressed="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/navigationactivated" android:state_focused="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/navigationactivated" android:state_activated="true"></item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/navigationnoactivated"></item>
</selector>
navigationactivated:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#4064D864"></solid>
</shape>
and navigationnoactivated:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#ffffff"></solid>
</shape>
I tried to use tint and margin properties in these files but it doesn't work.
Is there any way to make this effect in xml?
I tried to do it programmatically (by onClick), but still nothing.
See this answer. it could be useful.
It is about inverted colors and I see your images and one is the opposite of the other.
Invert colors of drawable Android
I'm hoping there is an xml solution to this... I am trying to create a layout that has rounded corners and then filling that layout with an image (tiled, repeat). So basically I have a LinearLayout that has a drawble layered-list assigned to the background. Here is the test layout (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" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/rate_buttons"
android:layout_width="100dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:padding="0dp"
android:background="#drawable/test_rounded">
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
here is the test_rounded drawable xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item ><bitmap android:src="#drawable/my_tiled_image" android:tileMode="repeat"/></item>
<item >
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<stroke android:width="3dip" android:color="#B1BCBE" />
<corners android:radius="20dip"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
The image is overflowing at the corners of the shape/layout border. I get the following
As you can see the corners are overflowed. I heard about modifying the image part (blue pattern) in code but I have issues with that since I do modify it and animate it along the way. SO, if its at all possible to just fill in the layout with that image, please let me know. Thank you all for your help.
You can do this only programatically. But if you want to do this using xml, you have to add the background image in a layout above the rounded corner layout with the help of Relative layout and set margin. This will not give a perfect solution but will solve your problem.
The first is the XML way
Create an xml file in your respective drawable folder for the round border.
I have namedd it as popupborder.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<stroke android:width="2dp" />
<corners android:radius="15dip" />
</shape>
The main layout
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_margin="10dp"
android:background="#drawable/popupborder" >
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="15dp" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="#+id/property_details"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Inner view with Background and margin"
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
android:textColor="#000000" />
</LinearLayout>
</RelativeLayout>
i recommend you to use an image loader library such as universal image loader, picasso etc. Here is an example code for it:
String url = "file://" + your_file_path
com.nostra13.universalimageloader.core.ImageLoader.getInstance().displayImage(url, ivPicture, options);
You have to add
.displayer(new RoundedBitmapDisplayer(px))
to your Universal Image Loader display options.
Also there is another library (i think this is what you are looking for) https://github.com/vinc3m1/RoundedImageView
You can check this. But in second way you can get "Out of Memory Exception" cause of loading big sized image.
I hope this'll help you.
