How do I create a ListView with rounded corners in Android?

by

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

Add the following into a file (say customshape.xml) and then place it in (res/drawable/customshape.xml)

<?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="270"/> 

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

Once you are done with creating this file, just set the background in one of the following ways:

Through Code:
listView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.customshape);

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

android:background="@drawable/customshape"

Hope someone finds it useful…
