title: Circular Text Views like Google Messenger
body: <p>I would like to display letters inside of circles exactly the way Google Messenger does it, like this:</p>
  
  <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/rXwGM.jpg" alt="Google Messenger circular text views"></p>
  
  <p>I tried using this drawable file</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
  android:shape="oval"&gt;
  &lt;corners android:radius="10dip"/&gt;
  &lt;stroke android:color="@color/primary_color" android:width="2dip"/&gt;
  &lt;solid android:color="@color/primary_color"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p></p>
  
  <p>as the background for a text view, but that went disastrously wrong. Any ideas?</p>
