Android applying border around SurfaceView

I have one SurfaceView for which I want to display a border of 20dp size which will flow around the SurfaceView. I need 'SurfaceView' in 16:9 aspect ratio, so i kept the size of the SurfaceView to 161x286 which is in 16:9 ratio.

To display border around the surface view i have following implementation in XML. 

<RelativeLayout 
    android:id="@+id/my_surface_view_holder"
    android:layout_height="161dp"
    android:layout_width="286dp"
    android:padding="20dp"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:clickable="true"
    android:background="#fff"
    >
    <SurfaceView 
        android:id="@+id/video_surface_view"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
        android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>

Above code displays the border around the SurfaceView properly but it breaks the 16:9 aspect ration of the video as i have given padding of 20dp for displaying border.

If i adjust aspect ration according to the border size then border is not evenly set, on top/bottom it is different and on left/right it is different.

So How can i display the border around SurfaceView by keeping it's aspect ration maintained to size 161x286.

Thanks.

I found out the way and it was pretty simple. I set the size of SurfaceView to 161X286 and then i set the RelativeLayout to wrap contains for width and height and then i set padding to the RelativeLayout which displays the border around the SurfaceView.

So my SurfaceView maintains the aspect Ration of 16:9 and it has RelativeLayout as it's background border.

Thanks everyone for your comments.
