imagebutton - Rounded corners android image buttons

Question

I am trying to round corners on an android ImageButton, the code looks like this;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <RelativeLayout 
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">

        <ImageButton
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/imageButton"
            android:layout_marginTop="57dp"
            android:src="@drawable/friends"
            android:padding="1dp"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/imageButton2"
            android:layout_marginRight="62dp" />

    </RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Basically our output is an ImageButton but it has squared corners, we are trying to round off the corners.

Thanks

Use Shape in android to make the rounder corners

create the xml file named it as roundcorner.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <solid android:color="#33DDFF" />
        <corners android:radius="4dp" />
    </shape>

In your ImageButton add this attribute android:background="@drawable/roundcorner"

<ImageButton
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:id="@+id/imageButton"
                android:layout_marginTop="57dp"
                android:src="@drawable/friends"
                android:background="@drawable/roundcorner"
                android:padding="1dp"
                android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
                android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/imageButton2"
                android:layout_marginRight="62dp" />
