Circle background for a imageview

Question

I am trying to place three image views with circle background. I have also placed a draw with round shape.

But the background is not round shows oval.

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_margin="15dp"
        android:orientation="horizontal">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/contactphone"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/phonecall"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/contact_icon_round"
            android:layout_height="75dp" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/contactemail"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/mail"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/contact_icon_round"
            android:layout_height="75dp" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/contactlocation"
            android:layout_weight="1"
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/location"
            android:layout_margin="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/contact_icon_round"
            android:layout_height="75dp" />
            android:layout_gravity="fill_vertical" />
    </LinearLayout>

Round Shape Drawable:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="oval">
    <solid android:color="@color/white"/>
    <size android:width="5dp" android:height="5dp"/>
</shape>

There is something wrong but not able to figure out the mistake?

Thanks!

Make use of this layout,

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_margin="15dp"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    >

  <LinearLayout
      android:layout_width="0dp"
      android:layout_weight="1"
      android:layout_height="75dp"
      >
  <ImageView
      android:id="@+id/contactphone"
      android:layout_width="75dp"
      android:src="@drawable/phonecall"
      android:layout_margin="10dp"
      android:background="@drawable/contact_icon_round"
      android:layout_height="75dp" />
  </LinearLayout>
  <LinearLayout
      android:layout_width="0dp"
      android:layout_weight="1"
      android:layout_height="75dp"
      >
  <ImageView
      android:id="@+id/contactemail"
      android:layout_width="75dp"
      android:src="@drawable/mail"
      android:layout_margin="10dp"
      android:background="@drawable/contact_icon_round"
      android:layout_height="75dp" />
  </LinearLayout>
  <LinearLayout
      android:layout_width="0dp"
      android:layout_weight="1"
      android:layout_height="75dp"
      >
  <ImageView
      android:id="@+id/contactlocation"
      android:layout_width="75dp"
      android:src="@drawable/location"
      android:layout_margin="10dp"
      android:background="@drawable/contact_icon_round"
      android:layout_height="75dp" />
  </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

Background is shown as oval because of the uneven width and height.

Hope it may help you.
