How can I draw circle through XML Drawable - Android?

Question

I'm trying to draw circle with the help of XML file in android, but circle is not displaying properly. Below code is showing Oval. How can I create circle in XML file.

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="oval"> 
    <gradient
        android:startColor="#FFFF0000"
        android:endColor="#80FF00FF"
        android:angle="45"/>
    <padding android:left="2dp"
        android:top="2dp"
        android:right="2dp"
        android:bottom="2dp" />
    <corners android:radius="10dip" />

</shape>

Any help would be appreciable.

Answer 1

no need for the padding or the corners.

here's a sample:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="oval" >
    <gradient android:startColor="#FFFF0000" android:endColor="#80FF00FF"
        android:angle="270"/>
</shape>
