sides of view getting chopped off

Question

I've defined a ring shape as XML file in the drawable folder as shown below

circle_normal.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:innerRadius="0dp"
android:shape="ring"
android:thicknessRatio="1.9"
android:useLevel="false" >

<solid android:color="#FF0000" />

<size
    android:height="10dp"
    android:width="10dp" />

<stroke
    android:width="1dp"
    android:color="#FFFFFF" />

<padding
    android:bottom="5dp"
    android:left="5dp"
    android:right="5dp"
    android:top="5dp" /></shape>

the layout in which the corresponding shape used is faculty_details

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="@drawable/background"
tools:context=".FacultyDetails" >

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/nameoffaculty"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:layout_marginLeft="94dp"
    android:layout_marginTop="92dp"
    android:text="Large Text"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
    android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />

<View
    android:id="@+id/viewundertextnarrow"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="1dp"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/nameoffaculty"
    android:layout_below="@+id/nameoffaculty"
    android:background="#FFFFFF"
    android:paddingBottom="1dp"
    android:paddingTop="1dp" />


<View
    android:id="@+id/viewundertextbold"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="4dp"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/nameoffaculty"
    android:layout_below="@+id/viewundertextnarrow"
    android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
    android:background="#FFFFFF"
    android:paddingBottom="1dp"
    android:paddingTop="1dp" />

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_marginRight="23dp"
    android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/viewundertextbold"
    android:src="@drawable/phone_icon" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/phone_number"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/viewundertextbold"
    android:text="Large Text"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
    android:textColor="#FFFFFF" />

<RelativeLayout
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_marginLeft="36dp"
    android:paddingLeft="5dp"
    android:paddingRight="5dp"
    android:paddingBottom="5dp"
    android:paddingTop="5dp"
    android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/phone_number" >

    <view
        android:id="@+id/viewv"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/circle_normal" />
</RelativeLayout></RelativeLayout>

the problem is the sides of the circle is getting chopped off as shown in the image

also even if the the view is set to wrap_content the whole view from the top to bottom is being selected

Answer 1

If you do not have any specific requirement to use the shape as ring, you can change the shape to oval

Or if you do not have any specific requirement to keep the thickness ratio to 1.9, you can set it to 2

Both the above scenarios should solve the chopping problem.
