CardView for Android applications. CardView is a UI component introduced in the Android Support Library to create cards with a consistent appearance. Before using CardView, be sure to include the required dependencies in your app's build.gradle file:



Here is the tutorial for Java


There Are Some Common Attributes for CardView :

This ID serves as the control's unique identity.
layout_widthmatch_parent -> Text area contains fullscreen
wrap_content-> Text area contains only text size
layout_widthmatch_parent -> Text area contains fullscreen
wrap_content-> Text area contains only text size
cardCornerRadius
10 - > For Corner Radius

cardElevation

Step 1:

add build.gradle file

 implementation("androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0")


plugins {
id("com.android.application")
}

android {
namespace = "com.microappvalley.newtestproject"
compileSdk = 34

defaultConfig {
applicationId = "com.microappvalley.newtestproject"
minSdk = 24
targetSdk = 34
versionCode = 1
versionName = "1.0"

testInstrumentationRunner = "androidx.test.runner.AndroidJUnitRunner"
}

buildTypes {
release {
isMinifyEnabled = false
proguardFiles(
getDefaultProguardFile("proguard-android-optimize.txt"),
"proguard-rules.pro"
)
}
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
targetCompatibility = JavaVersion.VERSION_1_8
}
}

dependencies {

implementation("androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.6.1")
implementation("com.google.android.material:material:1.11.0")
implementation("androidx.constraintlayout:constraintlayout:2.1.4")
testImplementation("junit:junit:4.13.2")
androidTestImplementation("androidx.test.ext:junit:1.1.5")
androidTestImplementation("androidx.test.espresso:espresso-core:3.5.1")


implementation("androidx.cardview:cardview:1.0.0") //add for cardview--------------

}
