Custom shape drawable android(lines only above and below a view)

Question

I want two white lines -one on top of the view ,and the other one on the bottom the view!!!

no left and right borders!!!!!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <solid android:color="#00000000"/>
    <stroke android:width="0.1dp" android:color="#FFFFFF" />
    <corners android:radius="5dp"/>
    <padding android:left="5dp" android:top="5dp" android:right="5dp" android:bottom="5dp" />
</shape>

I get a rectangle shaped view with white border,and transparent background.

But i want only the top and bottom lines of rectangle ,and not left and right lines of rectangle .

I want a view with border only on top and bottom,that will seem like sandwiched between two thin lines?

0X0nosugar is wright, there is no natural shape with single stroke lines, you´ll have to do some layerList layout.... — Opiatefuchs, Apr 28 '16 at 11:42

Try using <layer-list>. Check this below

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">

    <!-- Border -->
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="COLOR_OF_BORDER" />
        </shape>
    </item>

    <!-- Rest of the drawable -->
    <item>
        <shape android:shape="rectangle">
            <solid android:color="COLOR_OF_REST" />
            <padding
                android:bottom="2dp"
                android:top="2dp" />
        </shape>
    </item>

</layer-list>
