How to create Triangle shaped drawable?

Issue

I'm trying to draw a triangle shape in my XML layout.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <rotate
            android:fromDegrees="45"
            android:pivotX="135%"
            android:pivotY="1%"
            android:toDegrees="45">
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <solid android:color="@color/red" />
            </shape>
        </rotate>
    </item>
</layer-list>

My expectation is to build my drawable like below image's top right corner. I have to add this drawable in list item.

Solution

drawable-backround_triangle.xml

<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <item>
        <rotate
            android:fromDegrees="45"
            android:toDegrees="45"
            android:pivotX="250%"
            android:pivotY="80%">
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <solid android:color="@color/colorAccent" />
            </shape>
        </rotate>
    </item>
</layer-list>

then make your view as below example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    app:cardCornerRadius="4dp"
    app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"
    app:cardUseCompatPadding="false">
