Android draw circle and wrap around text on Textview

I have a textview containing numbers 1,2,3.... I want to have a circle around the numbers, something along the lines of;

enter image description here The code for my textview is;

 <TextView
        android:id="@+id/position"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight="0.20"
        android:textStyle="bold"
        android:layout_gravity="center"
        android:layout_margin="5dp"
        android:background="@drawable/circlebg"
        android:textSize="20dp"/>

and I have a xml background file, which contains;

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="oval">
    <corners android:radius="10dip"/>
    <stroke android:color="#ff0000" android:width="2dip"/>
    <solid android:color="@android:color/transparent"/>
</shape>

the outcome of this is;

enter image description here

What I want to know is how can I get the result of this to be like shown in the first screenshot. Any help is welcomed.

You are on the right track, all you have to do is make the textview's layout_height and layout_width a fixed value e.g 50dp, instead of using "wrap_content". When the textView's layout_height and layout_width are equal, you get a circle.

Have you tried ViewBadger or BadgeView? These may help you. You can later make changes on that.
