TextView Background without drawable

I want to make my TextView background color without the drawable on the left like this:

enter image description here

But when I'm trying to do it I got like this:

enter image description here

This is my textview code:

        <TextView
        android:id="@+id/Typetxt"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@+id/space0"
        android:drawableStart="@drawable/ic_type_icon"
        android:drawablePadding="10dp"
        android:textColor="@color/black"/>

and in the Adapter this is the code for coloring the background:

 holder.Typetxt.setText(posts.getTRADE_TYPE_NAME());
    if(posts.getTRADE_TYPE_NAME().equals("VL")){
        holder.Typetxt.setTextColor(Color.parseColor("#FF7464"));
        holder.Typetxt.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.vl_background);
        holder.cardViewMain.setBackgroundResource(R.color.VLBackground);
Solution

  • You can make this layout without using a drawable. Make the cardView's background color, same as the color you want on the left side strip. Add a ConstraintLayout inside it and give this ConstraintLayout white background color and a marginStart of whatever size you want your strip width to be.

    <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
        android:id="@+id/cvContainer"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="10dp"
        app:cardBackgroundColor="@color/orange"
        app:cardCornerRadius="8dp">

        <androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="@color/white"
            android:layout_marginStart="12dp"
            >

            <androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatTextView
                android:id="@+id/tvText"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:padding="20dp"
                android:textSize="16sp"
                app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
                app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
                tools:text="Lorem \nipsum \ndolor" />
        </androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>
</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
