Adding Border to Android TextView.png
To add a border to Android TextView we need to create an XML containing shape as a rectangle file under the drawable's folder and set it as background to the TextView.
<stroke> tag is used to set the border width and color.
Lets see an Example :
1. textview_border.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#000000" />
</shape>
2. activity_main.xml
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10dp" xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools" tools:ignore="HardcodedText">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:background="@drawable/textview_border"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="Android Programming is fun!!" />
</RelativeLayout>
Result :
