Set Background color in only (1/4)th portion of a View (Android)

Is it possible to set background color for only (1/4)th portion of a View in Android? I have a use case where I need to select a view and color it after dividing it in portions, Ive looked at developer docs but I am unable to find a way to do the same.

Edit: I need to make it banded something like "| | | |" and I need to do it dynamically.

  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:layout_weight="1">
  <TextView
      android:text="red"
      android:gravity="center_horizontal"
      android:background="#aa0000"
