<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <item
        android:height="100dp"
        android:width="100dp"
        android:gravity="center">

        <rotate xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                android:fromDegrees="90"
                android:toDegrees="90">
            <shape
                android:shape="line">
                <stroke
                    android:width="1dp"
                    android:color="#000" />
            </shape>
        </rotate>
    </item>

    <item
        android:height="100dp"
        android:width="100dp"
        android:gravity="center">
            <shape
                android:shape="line">
                <stroke
                    android:width="1dp"
                    android:color="#000" />
            </shape>
    </item>

    <item
        android:height="75dp"
        android:width="75dp"
        android:gravity="center">
        <shape
            android:shape="oval">
            <stroke
                android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#000"/>
        </shape>
    </item>

    <item
        android:height="50dp"
        android:width="50dp"
        android:gravity="center">
        <shape
            android:shape="oval" >

            <stroke
                android:width="1dp"
                android:color="#000"/>
        </shape>
    </item>

</layer-list>

    You should try adding `` to your circle definitions, which might be necessary to get rid of the opaque background. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/16098538/transparent-circle-with-border – Taig Feb 08 '16 at 01:22
  • Thank you @Taig! It's helped me. Seems that in old APIs the default color for a shape is black. – Daniel Argüelles Jul 06 '16 at 20:53

    @Taig you should change your comment to be the answer. It solved the problem for me. – Leandroid Apr 03 '17 at 17:00

This is not possible for API lower than 21 (It is a Material Design feature included on Android 5.0):

Create Vector Drawables

In Android 5.0 (API Level 21) and above, you can define vector drawables, which scale without losing definition. You need only one asset file for a vector image, as opposed to an asset file for each screen density in the case of bitmap images. To create a vector image, you define the details of the shape inside a <vector> XML element

    t0m is not using `VectorDrawable` here, just plain old shapes, which should generally work for his use case. He could however use `VectorDrawable` with PNG rasterization for older API levels if `ShapeDrawable`s won't do the job. – Taig Feb 08 '16 at 01:15
