One of the most irritating things in Android is adding a shadow or rounded corners.
I haven’t spotted anything that makes this easier in Splitties (without using CardViews). Is there something?
Or could we build it?
Like, say,
view { cornerRadius = 3 }
or
view { shadowRadius = 2 }

There's none because I never tried to add a shadow to a view or edit its corner radius. But since you're in code, if you get to a Kotlin extension, you can use it straighaway (and share it here, can be interesting). (I can't tell now if it could be added to Splitties as I don't know the underlying APIs required yet.)

I'm still using xml styles for that 🙂
Something like in \drawable

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ripple
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:color="?android:colorControlHighlight">
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <corners android:radius="3dp" />
            <solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</ripple>

and just use this style in button creation:

setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.ripple)

In this way I get nice ripple effect, rounded corners and some shadow.
