How to Add a Linear Gradient Background in Android Studio

Hi there! In this post, I will tell you how to add a linear gradient background to an activity in android studio. The steps are listed below:

1. Create a new file in the drawable folder called background.xml. Set the Root element to 'shape'

   

2. Add the following code:

   <gradient
       android:startColor="#0D973B"
       android:endColor="#1295B6" />

   The gradient element allows us to make a gradient.

3. To add the gradient to your activity, add the background attribute in the head element. Set the value of the background attribute to "@drawable/background"

   android:background="@drawable/filename"

   

So this is how you add a linear gradient background to an activity. If this post helped you, consider getting me some books. Bye for now.
