Android: Creating a Circular TextView?

Question

My current simple XML is below, however i would like the 3 TextViews within it to be circular, rather than rectangular.

How can I change my code to do so?

Answer 1

Create an texview_design.xml file and populate it with the following code. Put it in res/drawable.

Then in your main XML file just add the following line for each TextView:

  android:background="@drawable/texview_design"

Second way (not recommended): Download this circle and place it in your drawable folder and then make it your TextView's background. and then set the gravity to center.

Then it will look like this:
