How to define a circle shape in an Android XML drawable file?

This is a simple circle as a drawable in Android.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><shape    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:shape="oval">   <solid        android:color="#666666"/>   <size        android:width="120dp"        android:height="120dp"/></shape>

Set this as your view background

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:shape="oval">    <stroke        android:width="1dp"        android:color="#78d9ff"/></shape>

For solid circle use:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:shape="oval">    <solid        android:color="#48b3ff"/></shape>

Solid with stroke:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:shape="oval">    <solid android:color="#199fff"/>    <stroke        android:width="2dp"        android:color="#444444"/></shape>

Note: To make the oval shape appear as a circle, in these examples, either your view that you are using this shape as its background should be a square or you have to set the height and width properties of the shape tag to an equal value.
