I am using a drawable as a background of a TextView just to have a divider line below the text. A achivied it with this drawable-xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" > <item> <shape android:shape="rectangle"> <solid android:color="#FFDDDDDD" /> <gradient android:angle="0" android:startColor="#FFAAAAAA" android:endColor="#FFEEEEEE" /> </shape> </item> <item android:bottom="2dp"> <shape android:shape="rectangle"> <solid android:color="#FF000000" /> </shape> </item> </layer-list>
But this method draws a colored rectangle above a black rectangle. I would like to have just the line at the bottom of the shape with no black rectangle because black is not transparent. How could I achieve that?
Answer
This is how I got a line at the bottom for mine. Draw a stroke but then shift the item up and to the sides to get the top and sides to not show the stroke:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:top="-8dp" android:left="-8dp" android:right="-8dp">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#2b7996"/>
<stroke android:color="#33b5e5" android:width="6dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
