How to create Custom Button in Android

In Android it is very easy to use buttons , eclipse Ide provides you with drag and drop functionality.But we can use different approach and create our own custom button.

create an android project, in its xml layout file make a button . then create a xml file in @drawlble/buttonshape .Put the following code in it

<shape 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <stroke 
        android:width="1dp" 
        android:color="#505050"/>
    <corners 
        android:radius="10dp" />

    <padding 
        android:left="2dp"
        android:right="2dp"
        android:top="2dp"
        android:bottom="2dp"/>

    <solid android:color="#505050"/>

</shape>

Then add following code to the button in xml file in android:background="@drawable/buttonshape

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout&#95;width="match&#95;parent"
    android:layout&#95;height="match&#95;parent"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity&#95;vertical&#95;margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity&#95;horizontal&#95;margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity&#95;horizontal&#95;margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity&#95;vertical&#95;margin"
    tools:context=".MainActivity" >

    <Button
        android:id="@+id/button1"
        android:layout&#95;width="wrap&#95;content"
        android:layout&#95;height="wrap&#95;content"
        android:layout&#95;centerHorizontal="true"
        android:layout&#95;marginTop="43dp"
        android:text="Button" 
        android:background="@drawable/buttonshape"/>
