I am trying to make a shape that looks roughly like
I understand that I need a layer-list
with 3 items stacked on top of each other with two of them being offset from their top-left and bottom-right. Here is my code for this
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:right="8dp" android:bottom="8dp">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="@color/color_white" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="8dp" android:left="8dp">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="@color/color_gray" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="@color/color_circle" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
But I am not getting the correct output. More specifically, the white and black shapes are smaller in size than the middle one as you can see here
I don't know why this is happening. Can anyone please help me out? Thanks
Try specifying the width and height for each shape:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:right="8dp" android:bottom="8dp">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="@android:color/white" />
<size android:width="50dp" android:height="50dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="8dp" android:left="8dp">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="@android:color/black" />
<size android:width="50dp" android:height="50dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="@android:color/darker_gray" />
<size android:width="50dp" android:height="50dp" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
This gives me the following image:
