How to draw a thick dash line using xml?

Question

I've tried a few answers specified here, How do I make a dotted/dashed line in Android?

but the lines are all thin.

What I need is something that is something 10 times thicker. Thanks for reading

Code result from correct answer:

activity_main.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  tools:context="com.example.tester.MainActivity">

  <ImageView
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="20dp"
    android:src="@drawable/dotted"
    android:layerType="software"/>
</RelativeLayout>

dotted.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
  android:shape="line" >
  <stroke
    android:dashGap="10px"
    android:dashWidth="10px"
    android:width="10dp"
    android:color="@android:color/black"
    />
</shape>

In below xml you can change the width according to your need.

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:shape="line">

        <stroke
            android:color="#C7B299"
            android:dashWidth="10px"
            android:dashGap="10px"
            android:width="10dp"/>
    </shape>
