How to Create Rounded Corners for a Button in Android?

Here is source code of the Program to Demonstrate Button with Rounded Corners in Android. The program is successfully compiled and run on a Windows system using Eclipse Ide. The program output is also shown below.

In order to Demonstrate Button with Rounded Corners i have defined a style for my text view in /res/drawable folder with name mystyle and applied this as a background to my Button , the following code demonstrates this.

Main Activity

package com.example.text_view_rounded;
 
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.Toast;
import android.widget.VideoView;
 
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
 
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        Button but = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);
        but.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
 
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "On Click",
                        Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }
 
    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.main, menu);
        return true;
    }
 
}

mystyle

    <item android:state_focused="true" android:state_pressed="true"><shape>
            <stroke android:width="2.3dp" android:color="#a7bf42" />
 
            <corners android:radius="10dp" />
        </shape></item>
    <item android:state_focused="false" android:state_pressed="true"><shape>

            <stroke android:width="0.7dp" android:color="#000000" />
 
            <corners android:radius="15dp" />
        </shape></item>
    <item android:state_enabled="true"><shape>
