Hi all, I have been experimenting shape drawing through AIDL. My question is if it is possible to draw shapes inside shapes. This would be nice to create some more advanced button forms (adding lightning effects and that kind of stuff).
I did some experiments but was unable to create the desired effect. I add this to res/drawables: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"> <item> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle"> <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#FBBB" /> <solid android:color="#6000"/> <layout_margin android:layout_margin="1dp"/> <corners android:bottomRightRadius="18dip" android:bottomLeftRadius="6dip" android:topLeftRadius="6dip" android:topRightRadius="6dip"/> </shape> <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle"> <layout_margin android:layout_margin="1dp"/> <gradient android:angle="270" android:startColor="#6000" android:endColor="#6fff" /> <padding android:left="10dp" android:top="10dp" android:right="10dp" android:bottom="10dp" /> </shape> </item> </layer-list> and then I set this drawable as the background of a textView. But the shapes end up completely overlapped. The padding on the second shape does not produce any effect. Is it possible to make the second shape only fill a subarea of the first shape. How to do so?
