Rounded view with title and text inside

Question

How can I make this? It looks nice and I'd like to use something like this.

The lines at the top should correspond to the end of the title

Actually, these types of view are mostly done with custom views.

This tutorial is useful for custom views.

But you can cheat a little bit, create backgound.xml inside the drawable folder, and paste the code:

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

    <stroke android:color="@color/blue" android:width="4dp"/>
    <corners android:radius="10dp"/>
    <solid android:color="@color/white"/>
</shape>

then create custom_background.xml for your layout, and paste the following code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="300dp"
        xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    >
    <LinearLayout

            android:background="@drawable/background"

            android:layout_marginTop="15dp"
            android:layout_marginStart="10dp"
            android:layout_marginEnd="10dp"
            android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

        <TextView
                android:textSize="20sp"
                android:textAlignment="center"
                android:textColor="@color/blue"
                android:layout_gravity="center"
                android:text="Something"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

    </LinearLayout>
    <TextView
            android:padding="2dp"
            android:textColor="@color/blue"
            android:textSize="25sp"
            android:background="@color/white"
            android:layout_marginStart="50dp"
            android:text="Title"
            app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
            app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

Then you will get the following picture

Note

• I am using androidX
• Instead of LinearLayout you can place any layout
