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

It's a rectangle that prevents oval shape background to get circular.
Making view a square will fix everything.

I found this solution to be clean and working for varying textsize and text length.

public class EqualWidthHeightTextView extends TextView {

    public EqualWidthHeightTextView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public EqualWidthHeightTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public EqualWidthHeightTextView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec) {
        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);

        int r = Math.max(getMeasuredWidth(),getMeasuredHeight());
        setMeasuredDimension(r, r);

    }
}

Usage

oval_light_blue_bg.xml

       android:shape="oval">
