Android : Draw Circle With Text Inside

Question

I need to draw three circles in my fragment ,the circles differ in size, I refer this link The result i obtained is this

enter image description here

This is my XML Code : UPDATED

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:gravity="center" >
         <TextView
             android:id="@+id/large_volume"
             android:layout_width="185dp"
             android:layout_height="185dp"
             android:background="@drawable/circle"
             android:gravity="center"
             android:text="My name is NON"
             android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
             android:textSize="10dp" />

         <TextView
             android:id="@+id/medium_volume"
             android:layout_width="120dp"
             android:layout_height="120dp"
             android:layout_alignTop="@+id/large_volume"
             android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/large_volume"
             android:background="@drawable/circle"
             android:gravity="center"
             android:text="My name is NON"
             android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
             android:textSize="10dp" />

         <TextView
             android:id="@+id/TextView02"
             android:layout_width="90dp"
             android:layout_height="90dp"
             android:layout_below="@+id/medium_volume"
             android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/large_volume"
             android:background="@drawable/circle"
             android:gravity="center"
             android:layout_marginTop="-3dp"
             android:layout_marginLeft="-17dp"
             android:text="My name is NON"
             android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
             android:textSize="10dp" />

    </RelativeLayout>

But what i need must be is like this enter image description here

You can see the circles must stay close together , But when i use XML view i can't achieve this . How can i achieve this , I need onClickListeners in my circle thats why i use views

Is this can achieve through Canvas drawing , i heard canvas is not view so this will restrict me from giving click listeners ,Correct me if i am wrong

UPDATE :

I fulfill my need through XML approach ,is there any way to achieve this through canvas drawing ,Should i post another question for that ??

@RDC thanks you instead of -ive padding i give negative value for margins, that help me to achieve what i needed — edwin, Jan 17 '14 at 06:41
@edwin did one of these answers work for you? Please accept! Thanks! — Rachael, Oct 13 '15 at 20:40
@Rachael My question was to achieve it through Programmatically using canvas. But none of the answer point out that — edwin, Oct 15 '15 at 13:57

Try this

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

        <RelativeLayout
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

            <TextView
                android:id="@+id/num_txt"
                android:layout_width="100dp"
                android:layout_height="100dp"
                android:layout_marginTop="0dp"
                android:background="@drawable/bg_red"
                android:gravity="center"
                android:text="My name is NON"
                android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
                android:textSize="10dp" />

        </RelativeLayout>

    </RelativeLayout>

Save in drawable bg_red.xml

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
        android:shape="oval">
        <corners android:radius="10dip"/>
        <stroke android:color="#FF0000" android:width="5dip"/>
        <solid android:color="#FF0000"/>
    </shape>

Edited Code

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"

ConstraintLayout use for badge count.

            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:adjustViewBounds="true"
            android:background="@android:color/transparent"
            android:scaleType="centerInside"
            app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"

            tools:layout_constraintRight_creator="1"
            tools:layout_constraintTop_creator="1" />

        <TextView
            android:id="@+id/tab_badge"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"

            android:paddingBottom="1dp"
            android:paddingLeft="6dp"
            android:paddingRight="6dp"
            android:paddingTop="1dp"

            android:layout_marginLeft="14dp"
            app:layout_constraintLeft_toLeftOf="@+id/tab_icon" />
    </android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

thanks, for removing additional layouts, But it still look same as the image i post, i will update my xml code — edwin, Jan 17 '14 at 05:14

Try this

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.TextView;

public class CircularTextView extends TextView
{
private float strokeWidth;
int strokeColor,solidColor;

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

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

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


@Override
public void draw(Canvas canvas) {

    Paint circlePaint = new Paint();
    circlePaint.setColor(solidColor);
    circlePaint.setFlags(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);

    Paint strokePaint = new Paint();
    strokePaint.setColor(strokeColor);
    strokePaint.setFlags(Paint.ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG);

    int  h = this.getHeight();
    int  w = this.getWidth();

    int diameter = ((h > w) ? h : w);
    int radius = diameter/2;

    this.setHeight(diameter);
    this.setWidth(diameter);

    canvas.drawCircle(diameter / 2 , diameter / 2, radius, strokePaint);

    canvas.drawCircle(diameter / 2, diameter / 2, radius-strokeWidth, circlePaint);

    super.draw(canvas);
}

public void setStrokeWidth(int dp)
{
    float scale = getContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
    strokeWidth = dp*scale;

}

public void setStrokeColor(String color)
{
    strokeColor = Color.parseColor(color);
}

public void setSolidColor(String color)
{
    solidColor = Color.parseColor(color);

}

if you wish change in runtime the saved background..

TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.text_view);
if (something) {
  textView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.bg_red);
}

you can set directly backroud or drawable to the textview. you can use drawablepadding ,etc.....

or you can use: android:drawableStart="@drawable/ic_cab_done_holo_dark"

i am not setting any drawable in my textview, so why should i use drawablepadding ?? how it will help me ?? — edwin, Jan 17 '14 at 05:24
For this you need to created custom view, and in that onDraw() method you can draw circles with background and text. — DcodeChef, Jan 17 '14 at 05:26
@DeepchandSingh i achieve my need through XML, can you show how can it achieve through onDraw method — edwin, Jan 17 '14 at 06:42
@edwin Great if you achieved through XML. If you want to give it a try using canvas, just have a look at: http://v2beastzbroz.blogspot.in/2013/06/tutorial-for-canvas-drawing-in-android.html — DcodeChef, Jan 17 '14 at 10:30

Try this code to create dynamically circle with textview

RelativeLayout main_rel_layout = findViewById(R.id.main_rel_layout);
TextView textView = new TextView(this);
RelativeLayout relativeLayout = new RelativeLayout(this);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams params = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
params.addRule(RelativeLayout.CENTER_IN_PARENT);
textView.setText("Hello ");
textView.setTextSize(100);
textView.setLayoutParams(params);
textView.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER);

final FrameLayout frameLayout = new FrameLayout(this);
FloatingActionButton floatingActionButton = new FloatingActionButton(this);
floatingActionButton.setCustomSize(400);
frameLayout.addView(floatingActionButton);

relativeLayout.addView(frameLayout);
relativeLayout.addView(textView);
main_rel_layout.addView(relativeLayout);
