Android Create Gradient Background Xml Tutorial

create an xml file in res/drawable. I am calling my_gradient_drawable.xml: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <gradient
        android:type="linear"
        android:angle="0"
        android:startColor="#f6ee19"
        android:endColor="#115ede" />
</shape>

type=”linear”

Set the angle for a linear type. It must be a multiple of 45 degrees.

Gradient Type Linear And Angle View

type=”radial”

<gradient
    android:type="radial"
    android:gradientRadius="10%p"
    android:startColor="#f6ee19"
    android:endColor="#115ede" />
Radius Type Linear And Angle View

type=”sweep”

I don’t know why anyone would use a sweep, but I am including it for completeness. I couldn’t figure out how to change the angle, so I am only including one image.

<gradient
    android:type="sweep"
    android:startColor="#f6ee19"
    android:endColor="#115ede" />
Sweep Gradiant

center

You can also change the center of the sweep or radial types. The values are fractions of the width and height. You can also use %p notation.

android:centerX="0.2"
android:centerY="0.7"
Sweep Center
