android drawable to imitate google cards.

README

put card.xml in your drawables directory, put colors.xml in your values directory or add the colors to your colors.xml file.


set the background of a view to card,
as you can see in card.xml the drawable handles the card margin, so you don't have to add a margin to your view


 ``` xml
<View 
  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:background="@drawable/card"
  />
 ```


(here is a screenshot of what the cards look like)[http://i.imgur.com/XFbovuI.png]
