Android: ListView with rounded corners...

Question

I was wondering if there was a way to create a ListView with rounded corners in Android...

Answer 1

Here's one way of doing it (Thanks to Android Documentation though!):

Add the following into a file (say customshape.xml) and then place it in the layout directory inside the resources folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
     android:shape="rectangle"> 
     <gradient android:startColor="#SomeGradientBeginColor" android:endColor="#SomeGradientEndColor" 
            android:angle="250"/> 

    <corners android:bottomRightRadius="7dp" android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp" 
     android:topLeftRadius="7dp" android:topRightRadius="7dp"/> 
</shape>

Thought someone else might be interested in it. Once you are done with creating this file, just set the background in one of the following ways:

Through Code: listView.setBackgroundResource(R.layout.roundedcorner);

Through XML, just add the following attribute to the container (ex: LinearLayout):

android:background="@layout/customshape"

Hope someone finds it useful...

DanyW , customshape.xml work fine for me , I just changed the 'angle' attribute to 270 (like allclaws said)
