View Stroke not working in Android above lollipop

Question

Have implemented the View to draw the line its working below kitkat version and it's not working in lollipop and Marshmallow devices.

Below is my code:

 <View
        android:id="@+id/vDottedLine"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="2dp"
        android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/sixteen_dp_margin"
        android:layout_marginRight="@dimen/sixteen_dp_margin"
        android:background="@drawable/dotted"
        android:layerType="software" />

XML file for color

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="line">
<stroke
    android:height="2dp"
    android:color="#000"
    android:dashGap="3dp"
    android:dashWidth="8dp" />

</shape>

And also tried adding android:layerType="software" and android:hardwareAccelerated="true" and false as well. Any hint to overcome this problem?

Try this

create drawable file :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="line">
<stroke
    android:width="2dp"
    android:color="#999999"
    android:dashGap="5dp"
    android:dashWidth="2dp" />
<solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" />

<size
    android:width="2dp"
    android:height="2dp" />
</shape>

Your View :

<View
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:background="@drawable/dash"
    android:layerType="software"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
