android cardview showing border around card

Viewed 9820

Android cardview is showing unnecessary border around the card. I have tried different things but I am not able to remove it. It happens when I give the card a custom background color. When I remove the cardBackgroundColor, and when default is used. Then unnecessary border is not visible.

I have to use shadow and tranparent color code.

Here is my layout CardView

         <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/rlUserNamePassword"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:background="@android:color/transparent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <android.support.v7.widget.CardView
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_margin="@dimen/margin"
                android:background="@android:color/transparent"
                app:cardBackgroundColor="@color/form_card_bg_color"
                app:cardElevation="@dimen/margin"
                app:contentPadding="@dimen/margin_large"
                app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"
                app:cardUseCompatPadding="true" >

                <LinearLayout
                    android:layout_width="match_parent"
                    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                    android:orientation="vertical">

                    <LinearLayout
                        android:layout_width="match_parent"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:gravity="center_vertical"
                        android:orientation="horizontal">

                        <ImageView
                            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:src="@drawable/user" />

                        <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
                            android:id="@+id/tilName"
                            android:layout_width="match_parent"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

                            <com.yaashvi.placeandpeople.customviews.CustomEditText

                                android:singleLine="true"
                                android:maxLines="1"/>

                        </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

                        android:layout_marginBottom="@dimen/margin_large"
                        android:gravity="center_vertical"
                        android:orientation="horizontal">

                        <ImageView

                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:src="@drawable/password" />

                        <android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout
                            android:id="@+id/tilPassword"

                            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

                            <com.yaashvi.placeandpeople.customviews.CustomEditText

                                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                                android:hint="@string/password"
                                android:singleLine="true"
                                android:maxLines="1"
                                android:inputType="textPassword"/>
                        </android.support.design.widget.TextInputLayout>

                    </LinearLayout>
                </LinearLayout>

            </android.support.v7.widget.CardView >

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/llGo"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
                android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
                android:orientation="vertical"
                android:elevation="@dimen/margin_large"
                >

                <include layout="@layout/go_button" />

            </LinearLayout>

        </RelativeLayout>

And the view created is this

enter image description here

See the extra border on left, right and top of cardview and inside the card shadow.

try adding card_view:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false" to XML code

For me, it looks like that extra border is just the background of your RelativeLayout. I need to see the full code of the layout to confirm but if I'm right, this means somewhere maybe programmatically your changing the transparent background of the RelativeLayout that you defined here

please share the full layout code. thanks

         <RelativeLayout
            android:id="@+id/rlUserNamePassword"
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:background="@android:color/transparent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content">

            <android.support.v7.widget.CardView...

none of the following truly worked for me

what did work was making the inner image width and height 2dp bigger. example:

<androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="25dp"
android:layout_height="25dp"
app:cardCornerRadius="260dp"
app:cardElevation="0dp"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent">

<ImageView
  android:id="@+id/image2"
  android:layout_width="27dp"
  android:layout_height="27dp"
  android:src="@drawable/test" />

</androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>
