Instead of setBackgroundColor
, retrieve the background drawable and set its color:
v.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.tags_rounded_corners);
GradientDrawable drawable = (GradientDrawable) v.getBackground();
if (i % 2 == 0) {
drawable.setColor(Color.RED);
} else {
drawable.setColor(Color.BLUE);
}
Also, you can define the padding within your tags_rounded_corners.xml
:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<corners android:radius="4dp" />
<padding
android:top="2dp"
android:left="2dp"
android:bottom="2dp"
android:right="2dp" />
</shape>
