Drawable xml with horizontal line and circle in middle

I want to create a drawable xml file for the shape below. It will be like a horizontal line should fill the width of the layout and a circle in the middle.
Can anyone help me on this? Thanks in advance.

Keep it simple

hope this helps

Create your drawable file and put below code.
And change your color code red.
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:bottom="10dp"
android:left="10dp"
android:right="10dp"
android:top="10dp">
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#color/colorAccent" />
<size
android:width="10dp"
android:height="10dp" />
</shape>
</item>
<item>
<rotate
android:fromDegrees="180"
android:pivotX="50%"
android:pivotY="50%"
android:toDegrees="90">
<shape
android:shape="line"
android:top="1dp">
<stroke
android:width="0.5dp"
android:color="#color/colorAccent" />
</shape>
</rotate>
</item>

Use below drawable XML into your views background :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:width="100dp"
android:height="100dp"
android:gravity="center">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<solid android:color="#android:color/holo_red_dark" />
<!--background color of box-->
</shape>
</item>
<item
android:height="10dp"
android:gravity="center">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#android:color/holo_red_dark" />
<!--background color of box-->
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

Attributes height and width in <item/> are supported since 23 api.
For earlier versions you can use following code:
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:gravity="center">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<size android:height="1dp" />
<solid android:color="#ff0000" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:gravity="center">
<shape android:shape="oval">
<size
android:width="30dp"
android:height="30dp" />
<solid android:color="#ff0000" />
</shape>
</item>

Can not reduce size of Switch in android

I have implemented a custom switch (like iOS) in android. It's working perfectly in xhdpi devices (Nexus 4, moto g3). But can't reduce the track width of switch in Nexus S. its too lengthy.

Switch placed in layout
<Switch

I have changed track width and Switch "android:switchminwidth" with different values but no effect is found.

Code for toogle Button
<ToggleButton

How can I set a custom seekbar's ProgressDrawable size to be smaller than the ProgressBackground

I have a custom seekbar that's not quite working.
I want the seekbar to look like this:
But this is as close as I have been able to get
Ignoring the slight coloring and size issues, the problem I'm having is with the green progress size. Is there some way to make this smaller than the background? I've tried size and padding tags in the XML, and even tried fiddling with two rectangles on top of each other with clip gravity, but no luck yet.
Here is my Seekbar drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:id="#android:id/background">
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/fofo_grey" />
</shape>
</item>
<item android:id="#android:id/progress">
<clip>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/signup_green" />
</shape>
</clip>
</item>
</layer-list>
And the Seekbar in the layout fragment
<SeekBar
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/seekBar"
android:layout_below="#+id/textView6"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:splitTrack="false"
android:progressDrawable="#drawable/custom_seekbar"
android:thumb="#drawable/thumb_seekbar"
android:max="100"
android:progress="50"
android:indeterminate="false" />

for change height progress drawble just add android:minHeight="2dp" and android:maxHeight="2dp" to layout.

just add stroke attribute in seekbar drawable

Managed to fix this. Can't believe it took me so long to think of the solution...
<clip>
<shape android:shape="rectangle">
<stroke android:color="#color/fofo_grey" android:width="6dp"/>
<corners android:radius="20dp" />
<solid android:color="#color/signup_green" />
</shape>
</clip>
Added a stroke with the same colour as the background element, and tweaked the stroke width to achieve the desired effect.

Android switches - making thumb height larger than track height, how?

Is there any way to make the height of the thumb of a switch bigger than the track height in Android versions prior to Lollipop ?
I am essentially trying to create a material design-like switch widget in Kitkat (and older versions- the problem here is the thumb by default 'fits' inside the track). I have been working on this for quite some time now but I can't seem to arrive at the correct design.
I followed the solutions on this SO post: How to change the size of a Switch Widget.
Any suggestions or a solution would be most appreciated.

I added a transparent stroke to my track drawable shape which results in a padding around the track:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/track_color"/>
<size android:height="#dimen/track_height" />
<size android:width="#dimen/track_width" />
<!-- results in the track looking smaller than the thumb -->
<stroke
android:width="6dp"
android:color="#00ffffff"/>
</shape>

Yup
I solved this
<android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat
android:id="#+id/mySwitch"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textOn="ON"
android:textOff="OFF"
style="#style/Color1SwitchStyle"
android:text="" />
This is My Color1SwitchStyle
<style name="Color1SwitchStyle">
<item name="android:thumb">#drawable/customswitchselector</item>
<item name="android:track">#drawable/my_custom_track</item>
//when use Switch in xml file
<item name="track">#drawable/my_custom_track</item>
//when use android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat in xml
</style>
*Hear is my customswitchselector.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_checked="true"
android:drawable="#drawable/on" >

Thanks stevenp without your comment i cannot solve this

Adding top and bottom inset in the 'track' drawable works for me. android:bottom="5dp" android:top="5dp"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item
android:bottom="5dp"
android:top="5dp">
<shape>
<corners android:radius="15dp" />
<solid android:color="#android:color/transparent" />
<stroke
android:width="2dp"
android:color="#EEEEEE" />
</shape>
</item>
<androidx.appcompat.widget.SwitchCompat
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:track="#drawable/switch_track_drawable" />

The solution I came up with is just to use for the track a shape that is a line instead of a rectangle, and set the width explicitly in its stroke.
For example if the switch is defined as follows:
<android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat
android:id="#+id/my_switch"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:track="#drawable/switch_track"
app:theme="#android:style/Theme.DeviceDefault.Light" />
The in the switch_track.xml drawable use a line shape with whatever width you desire:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item android:state_checked="false" >
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="line" >
<stroke android:color="#50bbb9bf" android:width="5dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
<item android:state_checked="true">
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="line">
<stroke android:color="#5000b6de" android:width="5dp"/>
</shape>
</item>
</selector>
