shadow effect/shade around as some view

[Dominex]

Very often I see a shadow effect/shade around as some view as to think that there is a support system for that function. Do you know how to do it? I would be interested to do this effect all around a view.

Could you show a screenshot?

Certainly

Ah yes. The example you posted has the shadow built into the image but android does support such a drawable for shadows. I have seen it in Informatix tutorials. It is a 9patch image you can assign to a panel or image view.

Thank you very much, I will give a look at the tutorial Informatix.

There is a small example here: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...torials/20878-how-they-do-1-a.html#post120488
where he loads "code_lock_bottom" into an imageview.
I think you can create a 9patch png and load it into a panel and put it around a view you want.
The image is a simple black image with an alpha fade gradient, I think.
