You can use ConstraintLayout to make TextView width always equals TextView height => it will make TextView background always circle
<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
>
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:background="#drawable/red_circle"
android:gravity="center"
android:text="AAAAAAAAAAAA"
android:textSize="20sp"
app:layout_constraintDimensionRatio="H,1:1"
app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
/>
</android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout>

How can I make a circular list icon on a material design list in Android?

I am trying to make a list that looks like the list in the Material Design Guidelines. Google uses these round icons all over the place it seems like. I want to use a colored circle with a material design icon on it. Pretty much exactly like this image:from the guidelines page.
Do I need to create a circle drawable and then just set the icon on top of it, so I have two overlapping views? I feel like there must be a better solution than using two views for every icon.

To make the custom circle drawable:
..drawable/circle_drawable.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:radius="100dip"/>
<solid
android:color="#ff4CAF50" />
<stroke
android:width="2dip"
android:color="#FFF" />
<padding
android:left="6dip"
android:right="6dip"
android:top="5dip"
android:bottom="5dip" />
</shape>
To change circle_drawable color programmatically on Activity:
String hexColor = String.format("#%06X", (0xFFFFFF & intColor));
Drawable drawable = ContextCompat.getDrawable(MyActivity.this, R.drawable.circle_drawable);
drawable.setColorFilter(intColor, PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_ATOP);
layoutWithCircleDrawable.setBackground(drawable);
Then now on you layout you must assign a new background using the new circle_drawable.xml and then just set the icon on top of it.
Layout
...........
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_marginRight="20dp"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp"
android:id="#+id/layoutWithCircleDrawable"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:background="#drawable/circle_drawable">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:id="#+id/imageView36"
android:src="#drawable/ic_folder"/>
</FrameLayout>

To create a circle drawable you can use this library https://github.com/hdodenhof/CircleImageView
It's very good implementation.
add this to layout file
<de.hdodenhof.circleimageview.CircleImageView
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="#+id/profile_image"
android:layout_width="96dp"
android:layout_height="96dp"
android:src="#drawable/profile"
app:civ_border_width="2dp"
app:civ_border_color="#FF000000"/>
and for gradle dependencies
dependencies {
...
compile 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:2.1.0'
}
for the images you can use picasso library

Aspicas had the right answer, but I made a few changes and want to post my code just in case it helps in the future. And since I am using C# (Xamarin.Android) some methods look a little different.
My circle drawable:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid
android:color="#33464d"/>
</shape>
My layout for the full list item. I am using vectors for icons so I have to use AppCompatImageView:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/routines_rv_item"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="72dp"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<FrameLayout
android:id="#+id/icon_frame"
android:layout_width="40dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:layout_margin="16dp"
android:background="#drawable/circle_drawable">
<android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageView
android:id="#+id/list_icon"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_margin="8dp"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"/>
</FrameLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/rv_main_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingBottom="2dp"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:textColor="#color/primary_text_default_material_light"
android:textSize="16sp" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/rv_secondary_text"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center_vertical"
android:paddingRight="16dp"
android:paddingTop="2dp"
android:textColor="#color/secondary_text_default_material_light"
android:textSize="14sp" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
And the relevant code in my adapter where I change the color and set the icon image (note: have to pass in activity context to the adapter to access resources):
...
var vh = (ViewHolder)holder;
var drawable = ContextCompat.GetDrawable(_context, Resource.Drawable.circle_drawable);
string colorStr = _context.Resources.GetString(Resource.Color.primary).Substring(3);
drawable.SetColorFilter(Color.ParseColor("#"+colorStr), PorterDuff.Mode.SrcAtop);
vh.IconFrame.Background = drawable;
vh.ListIcon.SetImageResource(Resource.Drawable.ic_book_white_24px);
...

Android xml drawable is bigger first time

I have two clickable text views with the same drawable left image. When I open fragment first time the first image looks bigger then second one. After clicking on first text view the next fragment is opening and then when I return back two images have the same size. What's wrong? Please help to find out reason of this bug.
This is my layout:
<include layout="#layout/toolbar" />
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/dmvLawyers"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true">
<TextView
style="#style/DashBtnStyle"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/lawyer_selected"
android:text="#string/dmv_lawyers"
android:textAllCaps="false" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/add_friends_padding_left"
android:src="#drawable/add" />
</RelativeLayout>
<View
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="#dimen/divider"
android:background="#color/lineColor" />
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/tlcLawyers"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:clickable="true">
<TextView
style="#style/DashBtnStyle"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/lawyer_selected"
android:text="#string/tlc_lawyers"
android:textAllCaps="false" />
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_centerVertical="true"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/add_friends_padding_left"
android:src="#drawable/add" />
</RelativeLayout>
</LinearLayout>
This is image drawable (lawyer_selected.xml), where femida is png image, and white background is needed for selected state (button in selected state is green and image should be with white frame):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<padding
android:bottom="#dimen/dash_icon_padding"
android:left="#dimen/dash_icon_padding"
android:right="#dimen/dash_icon_padding"
android:top="#dimen/dash_icon_padding"/>
<solid android:color="#android:color/white"/>
<corners
android:radius="#dimen/dash_icon_radius"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/femida"/>
</layer-list>
Image femida.png

Just use nested LinearLayout instead and use android:layout_weight="1" or any required value to you and it will work for sure.
**In your case it will be 1 only, while the main parent LinearLayout can have wrap_content as height

Dynamically Changing List Row Background When Selected

I've searched around online for a solution to this problem and have tried out different ways of doing this but haven't come up with an answer. I have a list view and a custom row layout for the rows of the list. In my list row xml file there is a relative layout with an ImageView and text. Along with that I set the background of this relative layout to a certain shape and this works fabulous. Now at runtime I want to change this list row background to appear pressed inwards ( I was thinking just make the padding a little smaller or something). I have tried making another xml file for a pressed shape but it hasn't worked. I also tried to code this up by doing something such as this:
RelativeLayout rl = (RelativeLayout)view.findViewById(R.id.relativerow);
rl.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.item_shape_pressed);
I'm guessing I'd have to make my own onPressed method for this to work?
Here is the shape xml file I am using for each list row background:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/item_shape">
<padding android:left="10dp"
android:top="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:bottom="10dp" />
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
<solid android:color="#FFF" />
</shape>
Here is the XML for each row in the list view. See where I sit the background attribute at the top.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/relativerow"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/item_shape"
android:padding="5dip" >
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:padding="3dip"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginRight="5dip">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/list_image"
android:layout_width="60dip"
android:layout_height="60dip"/>
</LinearLayout>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/articletitle"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignTop="#+id/thumbnail"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/thumbnail"
android:textColor="#040404"
android:typeface="sans"
android:textSize="16sp"
android:textStyle="bold"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/articldesc"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#id/articletitle"
android:textColor="#343434"
android:textSize="13sp"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:layout_marginTop="1dip"
android:layout_toRightOf="#+id/thumbnail"
/>
</RelativeLayout>
So, is there any way for me at runtime to change the background in this relative view from the normal item_shape to another pressed in item shape? If anyone could show me how to do this I would certainly appreciate it. This is just a small part of the app that has been bugging me recently but it would be a nice touch to make the app look more complete.

Try with create your own selector for the ListView, for example listview_item_selector.xml in res/drawable folder and add this selector in the background of your RelativeLayout.
The following code will be: listview_item_selector.xml
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="#drawable/item_shape_pressed" android:state_pressed="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/item_shape_focused" android:state_focused="true" />
<item android:drawable="#drawable/item_shape" />
</selector>
And in your RelativeLayout put:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/relativerow"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:background="#drawable/listview_item_selector"
android:padding="5dip" >

How to create a custom view with rounded edges and two textviews?

I want to create a view like image below. My implementation has some linearLayouts. One root with a custom drawable to get the rounded edges and then others for the two textviews and view divider. Is there a faster and easier way to do this?

You can do this with just 1 LinearLayout, the root one. The LinearLayout is used just to order other views. So, what you need to do is to use the vertical orientation and add two text views.
On the first one you set the background color to a light gray. And remember to use the gravity as center so your text will be placed on the center of the text view.

I dont have much time, just tried to give a quick sample. Here's my code for your question:
your_main_layout.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/your_bg.xml">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="my text" />
<View
android:id="#+id/seperator
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="1dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/tv1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/tv2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="2nd text here"
android:layout_below="#+id/seperator" />
</RelativeLayout>
your_bg.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<corners
android:radius="5dp"
/>
<solid android:color="#fff" />
<stroke android:color="#000" />
</shape>
