 Hi,
 You can set the background to a 9-patch image:

 It's fairly easy to create one yourself. Just make sure the outside 1-pixel
 area is completely empty except for the black lines.

 Or ...

 Create a file res/drawable/my_border.xml and define a shape:

 shape xmlns:android=http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android;
     stroke android:width=4dp android:color=#FF00FF00 /
     padding android:left=7dp android:top=7dp
             android:right=7dp android:bottom=7dp /
     corners android:radius=4dp /
 /shape

 The padding is optional, but you just might need it.

 ... and then set the layout's background:

 LinearLayout
    android:background=@drawable/my_border
    ...

 Cheers,
 James

  Thank you for your help.
