Color border button android

Android — border for button

How do I add a border to a button? Is it possible to do this without resorting to use of images?

Step 1 : Create file named : my_button_bg.xml

Step 2 : Place this file in res/drawables.xml

Step 3 : Insert below code

Step 4: Use code «android:background=»@drawable/my_button_bg» where needed eg below:

• Android Official Solution

Since Android Design Support v28 was introduced, it’s easy to create a bordered button using MaterialButton . This class supplies updated Material styles for the button in the constructor. Using app:strokeColor and app:strokeWidth you can create a custom border as following:

1. When you use androidx :

build.gradle

• Bordered Button:

• Unfilled Bordered Button:

2. When you use appcompat :

build.gradle

style.xml

Ensure your application theme inherits from Theme.MaterialComponents instead of Theme.AppCompat .

• Bordered Button:

• Unfilled Bordered Button:

Visual Result

Create a button_border.xml file in your drawable folder.

res/drawable/button_border.xml

And add button to your XML activity layout and set background android:background=»@drawable/button_border» .

and point it out as @drawable/button_green :

Once you have done this, in the XML for your button set android:background=»@drawable/your_button_border»

If your button does not require a transparent background, then you can create an illusion of a border using a Frame Layout. Just adjust the FrameLayout’s «padding» attribute to change the thickness of the border.

I’m not sure if the shape xml files have dynamically-editable border colors. But I do know that with this solution, you can dynamically change the color of the border by setting the FrameLayout background.

Material design button with border

I know how to make Material Design button with color fill:

And no-bordered transparent button:

However, is there a way to make Material design bordered (transparent inside) button? Something like below?

Add the dependency to your build.gradle :

In this case you can use the MaterialButton in your layout file:

In your case use the app:cornerRadius attribute to change the size of corner radius. This will round off the corners with specified dimensions.
Use te attribute app:strokeColor and app:strokeWidth to change the color and the width of the border.

You can also customize the corners using ShapeApperance (it requires version 1.1.0)

The official doc is here and all the android specs here.

With jetpack compose 1.0.x you can use the OutlinedButton and the border attribute:

OLD (support library)

With the new Support Library 28.0.0, the Design Library now contains the Material Button .

You can add this button to our layout file with:

You can customize the button with these attributes:

app:backgroundTint : Used to apply a tint to the background of the button. If you wish to change the background color of the button, use this attribute instead of background.

app:strokeColor : The color to be used for the button stroke

app:strokeWidth : The width to be used for the button stroke

Here’s how to do it correctly.

What you need to do is

1 — Create shape drawable with stroke
2 — Create ripple drawable
3 — Create selector drawable for less than v21
4 — Create a new style for button with border
5 — Apply style on button

1 — Create shape with stroke btn_outline.xml

2 — Create ripple drawable drawable-v21/bg_btn_outline.xml

android:id=»@android:id/mask» is required to have ripple touch feedback on the button. The layer that is marked as mask is not visible on screen, its just for touch feedback.

3 — Create selector drawable for less than v21 drawable/bg_btn_outline.xml

4 — Create a new style for button with border All resources that that are needed to create the style are given above, that’s how your style should look like

4 — Apply style on button

That’s pretty much it. Here’s a sample of how the buttons looks now.

Set background color and border color of Button using Shape Drawable in Android 8

I am trying to set background color and border color of Button using Shape Drawable (create button_start.xml in drawable) in Android 8, but it does not seem to work.

button_start.xml file:

activity_main.xml file:

result:

1 Answer 1

Short answer:.
You don’t need to define a background shape, just use a MaterialButton with the shapeAppearanceOverlay attribute:

Long answer:
If you want to use a background shape you have to add app:backgroundTint=»@null» .
Something like:

Using a Material Components Theme the Button is replaced at runtime by a MaterialButton which use a own MaterialShapeDrawable as background. You can define a custom background but to avoid that the custom background doesn’t get tinted you have to add app:backgroundTint=»@null» .
The 2 solutions are not equivalent.
Using a custom android:background the default MaterialShapeDrawable is not used and some features like stroke, shapeappearance, ripple are not set (since they are related to the MaterialShapeDrawable ) . You have to provide them with your custom background.
