  2. the next code creates a gradient which is from top to bottom, with start color of white and end color of somewhat orange, it begins to get a strong fade after 90% of the measure of the container view.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape>
<gradient
android:angle="90"
android:startColor="#fff"
android:endColor="#FFA812"
