I am trying to make a custom shape for TextView widget in Android. The shape will be circular, using the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<item xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<shape >
    <solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
    <corners android:radius="10dp"/>
</shape>
</item>

I am getting following error when I reference the xml as background for my textview in my layout code:

activity_main.xml: Failed to parse file C:\Users\osama\workspace\project\res\drawable\notification_balloon.xml

I tried other solutions mentioned on stackoverflow but they don't work.

Please ask whatever details you want.

I am using the latest Android SDK tools.

& also there are two items being shown when I am creating a drawable resource, you can see it more clearly by zooming in your browser:

You will be able to create a circle using this below code.

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="ring"
    android:innerRadiusRatio="2.5"
    android:thickness="3dp"
    android:useLevel="false">

    <solid android:color="#B7B7B7" />

</shape>
