Round only top corner of cardview

AndroidAndroid LayoutAndroid Cardview

Android Problem Overview


I want to corner only the top of a cardview.

I used below property and it is rounding all the corner.

I want to show an overlap of all cards

card_view:cardCornerRadius="4dp"

here is my layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/card_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="4dp"
    card_view:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"
    >

Solution 1 - Android

We can set the marginBottom of the card view in negative value.Margin should be same value as card radius. For Example,

    <FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/rootview"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent">

   <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
         android:id="@+id/card_view"
         android:layout_marginBottom="-3dp"
         project:cardCornerRadius="3dp"
         android:layout_width="match_parent"
         android:layout_height="match_parent">

         <!--The child view inside the cardview should have extra padding,so that negative margin will not affect the bottom padding of its child.Here normally we have 16dp bottom padding for child + margin bottom of the parent is 3dp=19dp comes.-->

       <FrameLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:paddingBottom="19dp"/>

   </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
   </FrameLayout>

It works for me.But I am in doubt whether it is the proper way of doing.Any suggestions are welcome.

Solution 2 - Android

I have been trying the same but none of the solutions provided worked for me.

The only thing that worked was:

  1. Make a custom background resource (like a rectangle shape) with rounded corners.

  2. set this custom background using the command -

    cardView = view.findViewById(R.id.card_view2); cardView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.card_view_bg);

Worked perfectly for me! Hope this helps you.

The XML layout I made with top left and bottom right radius.

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="@color/white" />
<corners android:topLeftRadius="18dp" android:bottomRightRadius="18dp" />
</shape>

In your case, you need to change only topLeftRadius as well as topRightRadius.

Solution 3 - Android

Tricky thing because you can't make CardView do this. Internally it uses a RoundRectDrawable (package private) which uses roundRect like this:

 // rectf, rx, ry, paint
 canvas.drawRoundRect(mBoundsF, mRadius, mRadius, paint);

Therefore you need a different solution, for example I found this gist by Ahmed-Abdelmeged where they use canvas clipping per each corner using a path to describe the outline.

So while I'm not the one who made this code, I'll post it here for future travellers.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <declare-styleable name="RoundedView">
        <attr name="topLeftCornerRadius" format="dimension" />
        <attr name="topRightCornerRadius" format="dimension" />
        <attr name="bottomLeftCornerRadius" format="dimension" />
        <attr name="bottomRightCornerRadius" format="dimension" />
    </declare-styleable>
</resources>

and

    public RoundedView(@NonNull Context context) {
        super(context);
        init(context, null, 0);
    }

    public RoundedView(@NonNull Context context, @Nullable AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init(context, attrs, 0);

        typedArray.recycle();
        setLayerType(View.LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, null);
    }

    @Override
    protected void dispatchDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        int count = canvas.save();

        final Path path = new Path();

        float[] cornerDimensions = {
                topLeftCornerRadius, topLeftCornerRadius,

                bottomRightCornerRadius, bottomRightCornerRadius,
                bottomLeftCornerRadius, bottomLeftCornerRadius};

        path.addRoundRect(new RectF(0, 0, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight())
                , cornerDimensions, Path.Direction.CW);

        canvas.clipPath(path);

        super.dispatchDraw(canvas);
        canvas.restoreToCount(count);
    }

    public void setTopLeftCornerRadius(float topLeftCornerRadius) {
        this.topLeftCornerRadius = topLeftCornerRadius;
        invalidate();
    }

    public void setTopRightCornerRadius(float topRightCornerRadius) {
        this.topRightCornerRadius = topRightCornerRadius;
        invalidate();
    }

    public void setBottomLeftCornerRadius(float bottomLeftCornerRadius) {
        this.bottomLeftCornerRadius = bottomLeftCornerRadius;
        invalidate();
    }

    public void setBottomRightCornerRadius(float bottomRightCornerRadius) {
        this.bottomRightCornerRadius = bottomRightCornerRadius;
        invalidate();
    }
}

This will let you clip the edge of images and views before they get rendered, therefore it does exactly what you want.

Solution 4 - Android

Or, you can use MaterialCardView

<com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView
            style="@style/CustomCardViewStyle"
            ...>         
</com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView>

    <style name="CustomCardViewStyle" parent="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.CardView">
         <item name="shapeAppearanceOverlay">@style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay_card_custom_corners</item>
      </style>
    
    
          <style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay_card_custom_corners" parent="">
            <item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
            <item name="cornerSizeTopRight">4dp</item>
            <item name="cornerSizeTopLeft">8dp</item>
            <item name="cornerSizeBottomRight">16dp</item>
            <item name="cornerSizeBottomLeft">0dp</item>
          </style>

Solution 5 - Android

In case if you just want to shape an image, use material ShapeableImageView that draws the bitmap with the provided Shape.

 <!-- Media -->
<com.google.android.material.imageview.ShapeableImageView
  ...
     app:shapeAppearance="?attr/shapeAppearanceMediumComponent"
     app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="@style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.App.Card.Media" />

In res/values/styles.xml:

<style name="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.App.Card.Media" parent="">
    <item name="cornerSizeBottomLeft">0dp</item>
    <item name="cornerSizeBottomRight">0dp</item>
    <item name="cornerSizeTopLeft">8dp</item>
    <item name="cornerSizeTopRight">8dp</item>
</style>

Well, I am so desperate finding a way to achieve this, one it's not possible, and creating your own shadow is somewhat I don't like the result and I lucky in my case I need it in the corner of the screen top right to be exact.

let's make it simple, make oversized card view into another view in my case I use frame layout then change it's x and y translation to what you need, well what I do is, make translation x and y into same exact card radius corner value. and there you go one sided rounded card view with barbaric way.

code ? sample ? here you go

<FrameLayout
    android:id="@+id/miniTimer"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/frameLayout"
    app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
    app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

    <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:translationX="10dp"
        android:translationY="-10dp"
        app:cardBackgroundColor="@android:color/transparent"
        app:cardCornerRadius="10dp"
        app:cardUseCompatPadding="true">

        <LinearLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@drawable/drwable_red__rounded_botleft_10"
            android:gravity="center"
            android:orientation="horizontal"
            android:paddingStart="5dp"
            android:paddingLeft="5dp"
            android:paddingTop="10dp"
            android:paddingEnd="10dp"
            android:paddingRight="10dp"
            android:paddingBottom="5dp">

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/miniTimerText"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:textColor="@color/colorAccent"
                android:textSize="12dp" />

        </LinearLayout>
    </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
</FrameLayout>

note : oh I dynamically generate the textview text so add it yourself :)

Solution 7 - Android

My custom way to implemented with a lib

//Rounded card

add this implementation on build.gradle

implementation 'com.github.captain-miao:optroundcardview:1.0.0'

in XML:

<com.github.captain_miao.optroundcardview.OptRoundCardView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
    app:optRoundCardCornerRadius="40dp"
    app:optRoundCardLeftBottomCorner="false"
    app:optRoundCardRightBottomCorner="false"
    app:optRoundCardBackgroundColor="#E2EAF8">

Solution 8 - Android

You can simply add an empty view to the bottom of your card view , set its background color the same as the cardView and also give a small negative margin to the top of the empty view, here is a sample :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/linBottomSheet"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="center"
    >


    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="200dp"
        >

        <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView

            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_marginBottom="-8dp"
            android:elevation="2dp"
            app:cardBackgroundColor="@color/colorAccent"
            app:cardCornerRadius="10dp">




        </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>

    </LinearLayout>

    <View
        
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="10dp"
        android:layout_marginTop="-10dp"
        android:background="@color/colorAccent" />
</LinearLayout>

I only created card view to wrap around image for corner radius then used constraint layout to add guidline and add below text layout to guidline. then guidline have overlapped on card with margin.

Simply scrolling the CardView on the Y-axis did the trick for me. Note the scrollY attribute on the CardView

<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                app:cardElevation="0dp"
                app:cardCornerRadius="12dp"
                app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
                android:scrollY="10dp"
                >

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/imageView"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="80dp"
                android:scaleType="fitXY"
                android:src="@drawable/sample_post_image"
                />

            </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>

I tried this answer but the cut-out radius has some dark background, which is not desirable.

Use this library https://github.com/captain-miao/OptionRoundCardview

Instead of using CardView, use OptRoundCardView

Solution 12 - Android

It's better to update your CardView form:

androidx.cardview.widget.CardView

to new one:

com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView

like this:

<com.google.android.material.card.MaterialCardView
            android:id="@+id/bottomCard"
            android:layout_width="70dp"
            android:layout_height="70dp">

then in Kotlin use like this:

 var shapeAppearanceModel: ShapeAppearanceModel.Builder =ShapeAppearanceModel().toBuilder()
        shapeAppearanceModel.setBottomRightCorner(
            CornerFamily.ROUNDED,
            CornerSize { return@CornerSize 45F })
        binding.bottomCard.shapeAppearanceModel =shapeAppearanceModel.build()

instead of binding you can put

bottomCard=view.findViewById<MaterialCardView>(R.id.bottomCard)

As per the question, I am assuming that you want to apply corner radius property to only top of the card. You can obtain this effect by using two CardView. Place one CardView inside another CardView and remove outer CardView corner radius property. Also apply a transparent background to your outer CardView Your inner CardView will have a cornerRadius value of 4dp. Then apply a marginTop to your inner CardView, so that its bottom part becomes hidden by the outer CardView. This way, the bottom corner radius of your inner CardView will be hidden.

You will have to put your xml content in your Inner CardView. Outer CardView serves only the purpose of hiding the bottom rounded corners of the inner CardView. Your xml layout will look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/card_view_outer"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    card_view:cardBackgroundColor="@android:color/transparent"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="0dp"
    card_view:cardElevation="4dp" >

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    android:id="@+id/card_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_marginTop="3dp"
    card_view:cardElevation="0dp"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="4dp"
    >

    <RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:id="@+id/re1">

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/title"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="20dp"
            android:background="@color/colorAccent"
            android:text="contact det"
            android:gravity="center_vertical"
            android:textColor="@android:color/white"
            android:textSize="14dp"/>

        <TextView

            android:text="Name"
            android:gravity="center_vertical"
            android:textSize="10dp"
            android:layout_below="@id/title"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"/>

        <TextView

            android:textSize="10dp"
            android:layout_below="@id/txtName"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
            />

        <TextView

            android:layout_alignBaseline="@id/txtName"/>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txtAdd"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"

            android:layout_alignBaseline="@id/txtSurname"/>

    </RelativeLayout>
