icon image within circle background android UI
I am trying to insert an icon within a circular background image, but I'm having an issue with image sizing. The icon is currently larger than the circle, and I can't seem to resize it without also resizing the circle background. Here is my XML:
<android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutCompat xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/circle_dark_grey"
android:src="@drawable/calendar_icon" />
</android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutCompat>
I'm pretty new to android UI, so if there is a better way to do this, or if you know how to solve my issue please let me know!
Cheers

you can put your drawable background to the linear layout and play with paddings for the spacing

you can go by the following two approaches :
1 set padding for the imageview
<ImageView
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/circle_dark_grey"
android:src="@drawable/calendar_icon" />
or
2 you can use framelayout like this
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<View
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/circle_dark_grey"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<ImageView
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="@drawable/calendar_icon" />
</FrameLayout>
