1. try this code

    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/ll_circle_color" android:layout_width="50.0dip" android:layout_height="50.0dip" android:background="@drawable/circle_green" android:gravity="center"> <TextView android:id="@+id/tv_class_circle_text" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="2" android:textColor="@android:color/white" android:textStyle="bold" /> </LinearLayout>

In drawable -

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