How to create an EditText that has rounded corners instead of the default rectangular-shaped corners?

Android Solutions

Solution 1 - Android

There is an easier way than the one written by CommonsWare. Just create a drawable resource that specifies the way the EditText will be drawn:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--  res/drawable/rounded_edittext.xml -->
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" 
    android:padding="10dp">

    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
    <corners
        android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
        android:bottomLeftRadius="15dp"
        android:topLeftRadius="15dp"
        android:topRightRadius="15dp" />
</shape>

Then, just reference this drawable in your layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <EditText  
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:padding="5dip"
        android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext" />
</LinearLayout>

You will get something like:

alt text

Edit

Based on Mark's comment, I want to add the way you can create different states for your EditText:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- res/drawable/rounded_edittext_states.xml -->
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item 
        android:state_pressed="true" 
        android:state_enabled="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_focused" />
    <item 
        android:state_focused="true" 
        android:state_enabled="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_focused" />
    <item 
        android:state_enabled="true"
        android:drawable="@drawable/rounded_edittext" />
</selector>

These are the states:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- res/drawable/rounded_edittext_focused.xml -->
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">

    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
    <stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#FF0000" />
    <corners
        android:bottomRightRadius="15dp"
        android:bottomLeftRadius="15dp"
        android:topLeftRadius="15dp"
        android:topRightRadius="15dp" />
</shape>

And... now, the EditText should look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent">

    <EditText  
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:text="@string/hello"
        android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext_states"
        android:padding="5dip" />
</LinearLayout>

Solution 2 - Android

Here is the same solution (with some extra bonus code) in just one XML file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!--  res/drawable/edittext_rounded_corners.xml -->
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_focused="true">
    <shape>
    	<solid android:color="#FF8000"/>
        <stroke
            android:width="2.3dp"
            android:color="#FF8000" />
         <corners
            android:radius="15dp" />
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:state_pressed="true" android:state_focused="false">
    <shape>
    	<solid android:color="#FF8000"/>
        <stroke
            android:width="2.3dp"
            android:color="#FF8000" />      
        <corners
            android:radius="15dp" />       
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="true">
    <shape>
    	<solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
        <stroke
            android:width="2.3dp"
            android:color="#FF8000" />  
        <corners
            android:radius="15dp" />                          
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="false">
    <shape>
    	<gradient 
    		android:startColor="#F2F2F2"
    		android:centerColor="#FFFFFF"
    		android:endColor="#FFFFFF"
    		android:angle="270"
    	/>
        <stroke
            android:width="0.7dp"                
            android:color="#BDBDBD" /> 
        <corners
            android:radius="15dp" />            
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:state_enabled="true">
	<shape>
    	<padding 
            	android:left="4dp"
            	android:top="4dp"
            	android:right="4dp"
            	android:bottom="4dp"
            />
    </shape>
</item>

</selector>

You then just set the background attribute to edittext_rounded_corners.xml file:

<EditText  android:id="@+id/editText_name"
      android:background="@drawable/edittext_rounded_corners"/>

Solution 3 - Android

Try this one,

Create rounded_edittext.xml file in your Drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="15dp">

    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
    <corners
        android:bottomRightRadius="0dp"
        android:bottomLeftRadius="0dp"
        android:topLeftRadius="0dp"
        android:topRightRadius="0dp" />
    <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#f06060" />
</shape>

Apply background for your EditText in xml file

<EditText
    android:id="@+id/edit_expiry_date"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="10dip"
    android:background="@drawable/rounded_edittext"
    android:hint="@string/shop_name"
    android:inputType="text" />

You will get output like this

Thanks for Norfeldt's answer. I slightly changed its gradient for a better inner shadow effect.

<item android:state_pressed="false" android:state_focused="false">
    <shape>
        <gradient
            android:centerY="0.2"
            android:startColor="#D3D3D3"
            android:centerColor="#65FFFFFF"
            android:endColor="#00FFFFFF"
            android:angle="270"
            />
        <stroke
            android:width="0.7dp"
            android:color="#BDBDBD" />
        <corners
            android:radius="15dp" />
    </shape>
</item>

Looks great in a light backgrounded layout..

By my way of thinking, it already has rounded corners.

In case you want them more rounded, you will need to:

Clone all of the nine-patch PNG images that make up an EditText background (found in your SDK)
Modify each to have more rounded corners
Clone the XML StateListDrawable resource that combines those EditText backgrounds into a single Drawable, and modify it to point to your more-rounded nine-patch PNG files
Use that new StateListDrawable as the background for your EditText widget

Just to add to the other answers, I found that the simplest solution to achieve the rounded corners was to set the following as a background to your Edittext.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <solid android:color="@android:color/white"/>
    <corners android:radius="8dp"/>

</shape>

Solution 7 - Android

With the Material Components Library you can use the MaterialShapeDrawable to draw custom shapes.

With a EditText you can do:

    <EditText
        android:id="@+id/edittext"
        ../>

Then create a MaterialShapeDrawable:

float radius = getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.default_corner_radius);
        
EditText editText = findViewById(R.id.edittext);
//Apply the rounded corners 
ShapeAppearanceModel shapeAppearanceModel = new ShapeAppearanceModel()
                .toBuilder()
                .setAllCorners(CornerFamily.ROUNDED,radius)
                .build();
        
MaterialShapeDrawable shapeDrawable = 
            new MaterialShapeDrawable(shapeAppearanceModel);
//Apply a background color
shapeDrawable.setFillColor(ContextCompat.getColorStateList(this,R.color.white));
//Apply a stroke
shapeDrawable.setStroke(2.0f, ContextCompat.getColor(this,R.color.colorAccent));
        
ViewCompat.setBackground(editText,shapeDrawable);

It requires the version 1.1.0 of the library.

If you want only corner should curve not whole end, then use below code.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <corners android:radius="10dp" />

    <padding
        android:bottom="3dp"
        android:left="0dp"
        android:right="0dp"
        android:top="3dp" />

    <gradient
        android:angle="90"
        android:endColor="@color/White"
        android:startColor="@color/White" />

    <stroke
        android:width="1dp"
        android:color="@color/Gray" />

</shape>

It will only curve the four angle of EditText.
