Round only top corner of cardview


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"
    >

    <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:id="@+id/txtName"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            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:id="@+id/txtSurname"

            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Surname"
            android:gravity="center_vertical"
            android:textSize="10dp"
            android:layout_below="@id/txtName"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
            android:layout_marginLeft="5dp"
            />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txtEmail"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Email"
            android:textSize="10dp"
            android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
            android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
            android:layout_marginRight="150dp"
            android:layout_alignBaseline="@id/txtName"/>

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txtAdd"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:text="Address"
            android:textSize="10dp"
            android:layout_alignLeft="@id/txtEmail"
            android:layout_alignBaseline="@id/txtSurname"/>

    </RelativeLayout>


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

Solution

  • 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.
