Answer 1

Try this drawable layout for border on top and bottom

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <stroke
            android:width="2dp"
            android:color="#ffff00" />
        <solid android:color="#000000" />
    </shape>
</item>

<item
    android:bottom="2dp"
    android:top="2dp">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <stroke
            android:width="2dp"
            android:color="#000000" />
    </shape>
</item>

</layer-list>

Try this for left and right border

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

<layer-list 
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

<item>
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <solid android:color="#ffff00"/>
    </shape>
</item>

<item android:left="4dp">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <solid android:color="#000000"/>
    </shape>
</item>


<item android:right="4dp">
    <shape android:shape="rectangle">
        <solid android:color="#000000"/>
    </shape>
</item>

</layer-list>
