Solution 1 - Android

If you want something like this

Button preview

here is the code.

1.Create a xml file in your drawable folder like mybutton.xml and paste the following markup:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
    <item android:state_pressed="true" >
        <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
            <corners android:radius="3dip" />
            <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
            <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#345953" android:endColor="#689a92"  />            
        </shape>
    </item>
    <item android:state_focused="true">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
            <corners android:radius="3dip" />
            <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
            <solid android:color="#58857e"/>       
        </shape>
    </item>  
    <item >
       <shape android:shape="rectangle"  >
            <corners android:radius="3dip" />
            <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#5e7974" />
            <gradient android:angle="-90" android:startColor="#8dbab3" android:endColor="#58857e" />            
       </shape>
    </item>
</selector>

2.Now use this drawable for the background of your view. If the view is button then something like this:

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:textColor="#ffffff"
    android:background="@drawable/mybutton"
    android:text="Buttons" />

Solution 2 - Android

Create a xml file in drawable folder like below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle" android:padding="10dp">
    <!-- you can use any color you want I used here gray color-->
    <solid android:color="#ABABAB"/> 
    <corners android:radius="10dp"/>
</shape>

Apply this as background to button you want make corners round.

Or you can use separate radius for every corner like below

android:bottomRightRadius="10dp"
android:bottomLeftRadius="10dp"
android:topLeftRadius="10dp"
android:topRightRadius="10dp"

>Is there an easy way to achieve this in Android?

Yes, today there is, and it is very simple.
Just use the MaterialButton in the Material Components library with the app:cornerRadius attribute.

Something like:

    <com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
        android:text="BUTTON"
        app:cornerRadius="8dp"
        ../>

It is enough to obtain a Button with rounded corners.

You can use one of Material button styles. For example:

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton"
    .../>

Also starting from the version 1.1.0 you can also change the shape of your button. Just use the shapeAppearanceOverlay attribute in the button style:

  <style name="MyButtonStyle" parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button">
    <item name="shapeAppearanceOverlay">@style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded</item>
  </style>

  <style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded" parent="">
    <item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
    <item name="cornerSize">16dp</item>
  </style>

Then just use:

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
   style="@style/MyButtonStyle"
   .../>

You can also apply the shapeAppearanceOverlay in the xml layout:

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
   app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="@style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded"
   .../>

The shapeAppearance allows also to have different shape and dimension for each corner:

<style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Rounded" parent="">
    <item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
    <item name="cornerFamilyTopRight">cut</item>
    <item name="cornerFamilyBottomRight">cut</item>
    <item name="cornerSizeTopLeft">32dp</item>
    <item name="cornerSizeBottomLeft">32dp</item>
</style>

With Jetpack Compose you can use the shape parameter:

    Button( onClick = { /* Do something! */ },
            shape = RoundedCornerShape(8.dp)) {
        Text("Button")
    }

Solution 4 - Android

Create an XML file like below one. Set it as background for the button. Change the radius attribute to your wish, if you need more curve for the button.

button_background.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <solid android:color="@color/primary" />
    <corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>

Set background to your button:

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/button_background"/>

Solution 5 - Android

create shape.xml in drawable folder

like shape.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
  <stroke android:width="2dp"
    android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
  <gradient 
    android:angle="225"
    android:startColor="#DD2ECCFA"
    android:endColor="#DD000000"/>
<corners
    android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp"
    android:bottomRightRadius="7dp"
    android:topLeftRadius="7dp"
   android:topRightRadius="7dp" />
</shape>

and in myactivity.xml

you can use

<Button
    android:id="@+id/btn_Shap"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
    android:text="@string/Shape"
    android:background="@drawable/shape"/>

Solution 6 - Android

Create file myButton.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="@color/colorButton"/>
    <corners android:radius="10dp"/>
</shape>

add to your button

 <Button
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/myButton"/>

Solution 7 - Android

Simple way i found out was to make a new xml file in the drawable folder and then point the buttons background to that xml file. heres the code i used:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle">
    
<solid android:color="#ff8100"/>
<corners android:radius="5dp"/>

</shape>

Solution 8 - Android

Create rounded_btn.xml file in Drawable folder...

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

     <stroke android:width="1dp"
        android:color="@color/#000000"
        />

     <padding android:left="1dp"
         android:top="1dp"
         android:right="1dp"
         android:bottom="1dp"
         /> 

     <corners android:bottomRightRadius="5dip" android:bottomLeftRadius="5dip" 
  		 android:topLeftRadius="5dip" android:topRightRadius="5dip"/> 
  </shape>

and use this.xml file as a button background

<Button
android:id="@+id/btn"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/rounded_btn"
android:text="Test" />

Solution 9 - Android

style button with icon

   <Button
        android:id="@+id/buttonVisaProgress"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
        android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
        android:background="@drawable/shape"
        android:onClick="visaProgress"
        android:drawableTop="@drawable/ic_1468863158_double_loop"
        android:padding="10dp"
        android:text="Visa Progress"
        android:textColor="@android:color/white" />

shape.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="14dp" />
<gradient
    android:angle="45"
    android:centerColor="#1FA8D1"
    android:centerX="35%"
    android:endColor="#060d96"
    android:startColor="#0e7e1d"
    android:type="linear" />
<padding
    android:bottom="0dp"
    android:left="0dp"
    android:right="0dp"
    android:top="0dp" />
<size
    android:width="270dp"
    android:height="60dp" />
<stroke
    android:width="3dp"
    android:color="#000000" />

Solution 10 - Android

If you want change corner radius as well as want a ripple effect in button when pressed use this:-

Put button_background.xml in drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:color="#F7941D">

    <item android:id="@android:id/mask">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#F7941D" />
            <corners android:radius="10dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>

    <item android:id="@android:id/background">
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
            <corners android:radius="10dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>

</ripple>

Apply this background to your button

<Button
    android:background="@drawable/button_background"
    android:id="@+id/myBtn"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:text="My Button" />

Drawable Folder

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">
    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF"/>
    <corners android:radius="30dp"/>
    <stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#999999"/>
</shape>

Layout Folder

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button2"
    <!-- add style to avoid square background -->
    style="@style/Widget.AppCompat.Button.Borderless"
    android:background="@drawable/corner_button"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    />

Make sure to add style to avoid square background

Solution 13 - Android

if you are using vector drawables, then you simply need to specify a <corners> element in your drawable definition. I have covered this in a blog post.

If you are using bitmap / 9-patch drawables then you'll need to create the corners with transparency in the bitmap image.

Solution 14 - Android

You can also use the card layout like below

  <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="60dp"
        app:cardCornerRadius="30dp">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"

            >

            <TextView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:text="Template"

                />

        </LinearLayout>

    </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>

Solution 15 - Android

There is a app:cornerRadius attribute for the normal Button tag.

<Button
    android:id="@+id/button"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:backgroundTint="#009688"
    android:onClick="xyz"
    android:paddingHorizontal="64dp"
    android:text="@string/login"
    app:cornerRadius="32dp"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toBottomOf="@id/passwordCustom"
    app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="0.1" 
    />

This is a simple CardView by using this you can make the corner of your Button round.

<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        app:cardCornerRadius="30dp"
        android:background="#fff"
        android:layout_marginLeft="50dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="50dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="20dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="20dp">
        <Button
            android:id="@+id/button_login"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Login"
            android:textSize="20sp"
            app:cornerRadius="32dp"/>

Solution 18 - Android

create XML file in drawable and set button background to this file.

XML file code for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <!--|^@^|_[ Shadows ]_|^@^|-->
    <item>
        <shape>
            <padding android:top="2dp" android:right="2dp" android:bottom="2dp" android:left="2dp" />
            <gradient android:angle="315" android:startColor="#c2c2c2" android:endColor="#c0c0c0"/>
            <corners android:radius="3dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
    <!--|^@^|_[ Background ]_|^@^|-->
    <item>
        <shape>
            <gradient android:angle="135" android:startColor="#f7f7f7" android:endColor="#fbfcfc"/>
            <corners android:radius="3dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>
