1.The view must be at least 2dp in height (or wrap_content), in order for it to display since a stroke is designed to go around the view and it doesn't have room to do so in 1dp.

2.Add width to your xml:

<stroke
    android:width="1dp"
    android:dashGap="1dp"
    android:dashWidth="1dp"
    android:color="#999999" />

<size android:height="1dp" 
    android:width="1dp"/>

3.Use layerType='software'
