How To Create A Circular Outlined Material Button In Android?

I am trying to create a button with an icon in the center. The top and bottom part of the circle are a little flat. Is there a way to do this without using corner radius? Here is m

Solution 1:

You can use the app:shapeAppearanceOverlay attribute to define the corner size. You can use the 50% value.

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
    android:layout_width="50dp"
    android:layout_height="50dp"
    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton.Icon"
    app:icon="@drawable/ic_add_24px"
    app:iconSize="24dp"
    app:iconGravity="textStart"
    android:padding="0dp"
    app:iconPadding="0dp"
    android:insetLeft="0dp"
    android:insetTop="0dp"
    android:insetRight="0dp"
    android:insetBottom="0dp"
    app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="@style/ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Circle"
    />

with:

<stylename="ShapeAppearanceOverlay.MyApp.Button.Circle"parent=""><itemname="cornerFamily">rounded</item><itemname="cornerSize">50%</item></style>

or with the style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.Icon"

It requires at least the version 1.1.0.

With jetpack compose you can use the OutlinedButton applying a CircleShape as shape:

OutlinedButton(onClick = { /* ... */ },
        modifier= Modifier.size(50.dp), // it is important otherwise the button is oval
        shape = CircleShape,
        border= BorderStroke(1.dp, Color.Blue),
        contentPadding = PaddingValues(0.dp),
        colors = ButtonDefaults.outlinedButtonColors(contentColor =  Color.Blue)
    ) {
            Icon(Icons.Default.Add, contentDescription = "content description")
    }

Solution 2:

By using cornerRadius along with inset you can get the rounded shape:

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
    style="@style/Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton.Icon"
    android:layout_width="48dp"
    android:layout_height="48dp"
    app:cornerRadius="30dp"
    android:insetTop="0dp"
    android:insetBottom="0dp"
    android:insetLeft="0dp"
    android:insetRight="0dp"
    app:icon="@drawable/ic_menu"/>

Solution 3:

my answer is the enhancement of above answers. to build reusable resource :

<stylename="ShapeAppearance.MdcShapeAppearance.SmallComponent.OutlinedCircleButton"parent="Widget.MaterialComponents.Button.OutlinedButton.Icon"><itemname="android:insetLeft">@dimen/dip_0</item><itemname="android:insetRight">@dimen/dip_0</item><itemname="android:insetTop">@dimen/dip_0</item><itemname="android:insetBottom">@dimen/dip_0</item><itemname="android:padding">@dimen/dip_0</item><itemname="iconGravity">textStart</item><itemname="iconPadding">@dimen/dip_0</item></style>

then, you can use it as button style. don't forget to add app:cornerRadius="@dimen/dip_20" to make it circle with your desired size

<com.google.android.material.button.MaterialButton
        android:id="@+id/btn_plus"
        style="@style/ShapeAppearance.MdcShapeAppearance.SmallComponent.OutlinedCircleButton"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/dip_20"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/dip_20"
        app:cornerRadius="@dimen/dip_20"
        android:layout_marginEnd="@dimen/dip_16"
        app:icon="@drawable/ic_plus"
        app:iconTint="?colorOnBackground"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@id/tv_total_checkout_product"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@id/tv_total_checkout_product"
        app:strokeColor="?colorOnBackground" />
