Multipe shapes inside shapes.xml in android

Question

I have been searching for possibilities to define different shapes inside a single shapes.xml and refer to each one on some specific events.

At last I've found a solution to my question. And the answer is using level-list.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<level-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:maxLevel="0">
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:shape="rectangle">
          
        <gradient android:startColor="#aaa" 
            android:endColor="#eee" android:angle="270" />
           
        <corners android:bottomRightRadius="7dp"
            android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp" android:topLeftRadius="7dp"
            android:topRightRadius="7dp" />
    </shape>

</item>
<item android:maxLevel="1">
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:shape="oval">
          
        <gradient android:startColor="#eee" android:centerColor="#ddd"
            android:endColor="#00fff2" android:angle="270" />
           
        <corners android:bottomRightRadius="7dp"
            android:bottomLeftRadius="7dp" android:topLeftRadius="7dp"
            android:topRightRadius="7dp" />
    </shape>
</item>
</level-list>

Apply this to the background attribute in the style. the Interchanging of differents shapes can be achieved by setting the level to that element.

Eg: findViewById(R.id.mybutton).getBackground().setLevel(1);

In the above code I'm setting the second shape to the button with id mybutton.

Can you explain how to use the above one. – Dinash Apr 18 '11 at 11:40
Hi...you can put this file as " borderframe.xml " in Drawable folder and you can call this by android:background="@drawable/borderframe" – Hardik Gajjar Apr 19 '11 at 05:59

That right Hardik i have already tried it. But still i wanted to have multiple shape definition in an single file and want to change to that shape on some events. For that i went through level-list and have also posted the sample in my question itself. Thanks... – Dinash Apr 19 '11 at 06:08
What question is this answer for? Does it solve the problem? – Andrew Sep 03 '15 at 07:23
