Add Only Top And Bottom Border On Linearlayout

I would like to add only a bottom and a top border on my Linearlayout. I have tried to do this : Copy

Think of is as drawing a rectangle with border color first and then lay on top of it a rectangle with your background color leaving out 1dp on top and at the bottom.

Solution 2:

Make this two file and put this code. you can set border top and bottom border,

main.xml

<TextViewandroid:text="This is textline"android:background="@drawable/border_set"
/>

border_set.xml

This file located into full path project_root/res/drawable/border_set.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><layer-listxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ><item><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><strokeandroid:width="1dp"android:color="#FF000000" /><solidandroid:color="#FFDDDDDD" /></shape></item><itemandroid:top="1dp"android:bottom="1dp"><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><strokeandroid:width="1dp"android:color="#000" /><solidandroid:color="#FFFFFF" /></shape></item></layer-list>

Solution 3:

Here is the solution. It works even with transparent background.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><layer-listxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"><itemandroid:left="-2dp"android:right="-2dp"><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><strokeandroid:width="2dp"android:color="@color/borderColor" /><solidandroid:color="@color/backgroundColor" /></shape></item></layer-list>

Solution 4:

I believe this is the simplest way:

<Viewandroid:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="2dp"android:background="#000000" />

Solution 5:

This is my version; top border and bottom border are visible, not showing the left or right borders. And the background is transparent.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><layer-listxmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"android:layout_width="match_parent"android:layout_height="1dp"><itemandroid:left="-1dp"android:right="-1dp"android:top="-1dp"android:bottom="1dp"><shapeandroid:shape="rectangle"><strokeandroid:width="1dp"android:color="@color/BlueGrey_colorPrimary" /><solidandroid:color="@android:color/transparent" /></shape></item></layer-list>
