Question

How would I achieve a shape like below in Android, through an Android shape drawable:

Answer 1

You can simply create a custom shape and set it as background to your TextView:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">

    <solid android:color="#00ff00" />

    <corners
        android:bottomRightRadius="4dp"
        android:topLeftRadius="4dp" />

</shape>

You can acchieve the shadow by just setting the elevation attribute on your TextView (or wrap it in a CardView and set the elevation tehre if you are using an older version of Android)
