I really appreciate if someone can help me with using how to use shape drawable as my background xml for my view.

This is what I tried: But I never get the color. Android always gives me black text on white background, regardless what color attribute I put.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:shape="rectangle">
            <stroke android:width="1dip" android:color="#FBBB" />
            <solid android:color="#6000"/> 
</shape>

I tried , does not work

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:shape="rectangle"
            android:color="#6000>

</shape>

I tried , does not work

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:shape="rectangle"
            android:background="#6000>
</shape>

I google this is the limited result I found to try.
