Creating Android Custom TextView Rounded Corner Programmatically

To create a rounded corner custom TextView in your android application, follow the below steps.

Step-1: Create a custom xml file named "custom_shape.xml" under /res/drawable folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> 

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 

 android:shape="rectangle"> 

 <gradient  

     android:angle="270"/>

<corners 

     android:bottomRightRadius="7dp" 

     android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp" 

     android:topLeftRadius="7dp" 

     android:topRightRadius="7dp"/> 

  <solid android:color="@android:color/transparent"/>  

  <stroke 

      android:color="@android:color/black"

      android:width="5sp"/> 

</shape> 

Step-2: Create a custom TextView class "TextViewOutLined.java"

public class TextViewOutLined extends TextView
{
public static int textSize = 30;  //The size of the text can be changed later
public TextViewOutLined(Context context) 
{  
super(context); 
init(); 
}
@Override   
 protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {  
super.onDraw(canvas);                 
this.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.custom_shape);    
} 
private void init(){  
setTextSize(textSize);  
setPadding(5, 5, 5, 5);  //This will set the padding, and by increasing decreasing this 

// parameters the text padding can be changed 
}
}

Step-3: Use the class TextViewOutLined in your android program as:

private final TextViewOutLined tv = new TextViewOutLined(context);

tv.setText("www.appsoid.in");
