In the API examples there is a example called ShapeDrawable1.java that essentially draws a bunch of shapes in XML using the tag <shape></shape>. It seems like though you can only draw rectangles? Can you draw other shapes? If so where is this documented?

Thanks,

Hello robisen,

there are RectShape, RoundRectShape, Ovalshape and PathShape.

maybe you find your answer in on of the following links:

Thanks I had found that same information but I am looking for information on what tags and attributes I can use in XML to define a shape for example:



just produces a white rectangle. I would assume it would produce a Oval. Also I am not sure what other tags i can use to define. I would assume there would be a radius tag or something but cannot seem to find anything in the documentation to that effect.

Thanks,

Hello robisen,

instead of:

it is probably:


yes there are like <corner>-tags to be used then.

This is said to work:

Thanks for the response and I have tried oval, ring, etc but it seems like only rectangle does something. I think oval and ring might work if i can figure out what other associated tags or attributes must go with the shape tag but if you just use oval in the way you describe you will get a rectangle. Same with ring.

Also my real question is if their is a list of XML tags and attributes for shape? Maybe is should look for the Scheme which I assume is in the SDK?

Thanks,
