Question

I've found lots of examples of this and as far as I can tell I'm doing it right, but I still get an error. I've created a border.xml file and put it into a drawable folder. The folder didn't exist, so I had to create it. I have a feeling my problem is where I saved the file or possibly that I need to register it somewhere. Here you can see the file. enter image description here

Here is the code for border.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <solid android:color="#ffffff" />
  <stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#515151"/>
  <corners android:radius="3dp" />
  <padding android:left="10dp" android:top="5dp"
    android:right="10dp" android:bottom="5dp" />
</shape>

And here is how I'm trying to use it

<TableRow 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:background="@drawable/border.xml"
    android:padding="5dp">

The error I get is:

error: Error: No resource found that matches the given name (at 'background' with value 
 '@drawable/border.xml').
Was it helpful?

Solution

Try android:background="@drawable/border" without the .xml
