I am currently drawing a number of circles on a canvas in a custom view in code. the circles are static and do not change. I would like to draw them using a ShapeDrawable in xml to help clean up my code. I will have a number of different drawables which the user can select and therefore I don't want to do this in code. having 3 or 4 xml drawables seems a lot neater to me.
I have created one circle in xml using a ShapeDrawable but am unable to add more than one shape to the xml.
How do I add multiple shapes to an xml document using ShapeDrawable.
I think I have found a solution to add multiple shapes to my xml file using Layer-list. I havent tried this yet but this seems t be exactly what I want as the shapes will be draw in the order of their array index.
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape>
<solid android:color="#FFF8F8F8" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:top="23px">
<shape>
<solid android:color="#FFE7E7E8" />
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>
