xml - How to add the border on editext programmatically in android -

i working on demo app require set the border width , border color programmatically.

i know can done using xml drawable want these @ run time. know have these creating xml , use requirement such dynamic have these stuff @ runtime instead of below approach.

border_edittext.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="rectangle" >     <solid android:color="#ffffff" />     <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#000000"/> </shape> 

setting drawable.

edittext foo = (edittext)findviewbyid(r.id.edittext); foo.setbackgroundresource(r.drawable.border_edittext); 

thanks in advance.

shape drawables came mind first. android guide has details on this.

    int x = 10;     int y = 10;     int width = 300;     int height = 50;      mdrawable = new shapedrawable(new rectshape()); // rectangle border     mdrawable.getpaint().setcolor(0xff74ac23); // set color     mdrawable.setbounds(x, y, x + width, y + height);         setcontentview(mdrawable); 

but wouldn't hollow rectangle, you'd want border. see this answer more discussion using border. tricky part getting transparency. looks have settled drawing 4 lines around border of canvas.

a canvas can created this.

bitmap b = bitmap.createbitmap(100, 100, bitmap.config.argb_8888); canvas c = new canvas(b);
