Adding custom borders, background fills, and rounded corners to Android TextView elements without importing third-party UI libraries is achieved by defining vector <shape> XML drawables in res/drawable/.
Step 1: Create Shape Drawable XML
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<!-- Background Fill Color -->
<solid android:color="#F8F9FA" />
<!-- Border Width & Color -->
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#0066CC" />
<!-- Rounded Corner Radius -->
<corners android:radius="8dp" />
<!-- Inner Padding -->
<padding
android:left="12dp"
android:top="8dp"
android:right="12dp"
android:bottom="8dp" />
</shape>Step 2: Apply Drawable to TextView in Layout XML
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tvCustomBorder"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Styled Border TextView"
android:textColor="#333333"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:background="@drawable/textview_border" />
