Circle using layer-list drawable not visible properly in Kitkat

Question

I am using the layer-list to draw the circle like

I checked in Android N its working fine but in KitKat, only inner circle with the pink order is showing.

This is my layer-list drawable:

    <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <!-- larger circle at the back -->
    <item
        android:width="60dp"
        android:height="60dp"
        android:gravity="center">
        <shape android:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="@color/white" />
        </shape>
    </item>


    <!-- inner circle -->
    <item
        android:width="40dp"
        android:height="40dp"
        android:gravity="center">
        <shape android:shape="oval">
            <solid android:color="@color/white" />
            <stroke
                android:width="1dp"
                android:color="@color/vivid_cerise" />
        </shape>
    </item>
</layer-list>

This happens with drawables. What you can do is use bitmap and canvas to create your circle programmatically and then set it your image or image background. — mudit_sen, Jul 11 '17 at 05:54

You have to pay attention to lint warnings:

android:width and android:height attributes are accessible from API 23 onwards, whereas KitKat is API 19.

Ya, that is the problem.how to give width and height in less then 23 – Rahul Devanavar Jul 11 '17 at 07:44
That's not possible (yet) using `layer-list` drawable. See [this](https://stackoverflow.com/q/10706853/1083957) question. – azizbekian Jul 11 '17 at 07:53
put the width and height in a size tag inside the shape. – Henry Apr 08 '21 at 05:29
