custom border frame for Gallery widget

Question

Is there a way to define/customize a border around the currently selected Gallery item? I know, i can create a Drawable and draw four lines into that but there must be a simpler way.

Answer 1

In the past I did the following:

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/group_info"
          android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:background="@drawable/list">

@drawable/list is a 9patch. Inside the LinearLayout I added a View with the proper margin.
