How to draw a baloon shape in android?

Question

Is it possible to create a drawable like on the picture below using <shape> tag in Android?

UPD: the goal is to draw these baloons on a MapView. Is there a standart component for that?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There is no standard component for drawing balloons. I am pretty sure that graphing cam from here:

Just use that code.

Answer 2

No. It's a regular 9patch picture (.9.png). No way you can create that using only shapes.

Map markers are usually done by implementing an ItemizedOverlay class. Check out this tutorial
