How to create android shape background programmatically?

Issue

How to create this shape programmatically?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:padding="10dp"
    android:shape="rectangle">

    <solid android:color="#e67e22"/> 
    <corners
        android:topLeftRadius="0dp"
        android:topRightRadius="0dp"
        android:bottomLeftRadius="5dp"
        android:bottomRightRadius="5dp"/>
</shape>

I've tried this simple function which gets corners, colors and sets that to shape:

    LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.category_header);

    GradientDrawable drawable = (GradientDrawable) linearLayout.getDrawable();

    float[] values = { 0.2f, 0.2f, 0.2f, 0.2f };
    drawable.setCornerRadii(values);

But I got this error:

The method getDrawable() is undefined for the type LinearLayout

Solution

I've created a library which can help to create drawables programmatically.

See here: DrawableToolbox.

With DrawableToolbox, you can create it by:

Drawable drawable = new DrawableBuilder()
        .rectangle()
        .solidColor(0xffe67e22)
        .bottomLeftRadius(20) // in pixels
        .bottomRightRadius(20) // in pixels
//        .cornerRadii(0, 0, 20, 20) // the same as the two lines above
        .build();
