How would I create this layout

Question

I understand this isn't possibly the best title so please edit if you have a better title.

Ok, so I have a mock up of part of the design I want to create in android, which I will post below.

I am not the best in working with custom shapes so I thought I could possibly go down the route of Images with clickable areas . This would mean I just import the image and just monitor if the user clicks a section of the screen.

What would be the best approach?

If creating it with XML is better do you have a good tutorial you could point me to.

Thanks

Keep this file in drawable folder for circle button background named as circle

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="oval">

<size android:width="200dp" android:height="200dp" />
<solid android:color="@android:color/holo_red_light" /></shape>
