I have the cardview with rounded corners and imageview inside. I want to set background color :

cv.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED)

But the corners are not rounded in this case enter image description here

I tryed 

cv.setCardBackgroundColor(Color.RED)

but in this case i can't see red color at all (with any margin and padding values)

You need to create a Drawable and set it as the background for your CardView.

Lets say this is a drawable named CardViewBackground

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
  <item>
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
      <solid android:color="@android:color/holo_dark_red"/>
      <corners android:radius="10dp">
    </shape>
  </item>
</selector>

Then in my CardView I can do

<CardView....
    android:background="@drawable/CardViewBackground"
/>
