</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>

Here is the XML code for the @drawable/cardview_rim

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

    <stroke android:width="5dp"
        android:color="#000000" />
    <corners android:radius="10dip"/>
</shape>

Unfortunately the black foreground rim is not visible. Do you know why?

Reminder: Does anybody have a suggestion as to why I am not seeing the rim that I created? I'll appreciate every suggestion.

Answer 1

Try setting

app:cardForegroundColor="@drawable/cardview_rim"

instead of

android:foreground="@drawable/cardview_rim"

Update

You can create the same effect by using the stroke property of the card view. Get rid of the foreground atrribute Then add the following attributes:

app:strokeColor="#000"
app:strokeWidth="5dp"

Update 2

I think I found your issue. The cardUseCompatPadding attribute somehow prevents the drawing of the foreground. So use the same card configuration as in your question but this time just set the cardUseCompatPadding to false or delete it from the xml.

app:cardUseCompatPadding="false"

Result in xml preview
