<size> attribute not useful when using layer-list?
<p>Given I have a background drawable to create bulletpoints for TextViews like this:</p>

<p><img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/LpRkn.png" alt="Example of what I want"></p>

<p>Then my XML code looks like this:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;

&lt;layer-list
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"&gt;
    &lt;item android:right="235dp"&gt;
        &lt;shape android:shape="oval"&gt;
            &lt;padding android:left="10dp" /&gt;
            &lt;size android:height="5dp" android:width="5dp"/&gt;
            &lt;solid android:color="@color/my_pink"/&gt;
        &lt;/shape&gt;
    &lt;/item&gt;
    &lt;item android:left="10dp"&gt;
        &lt;shape android:shape="rectangle"&gt;
            &lt;solid android:color="#ffffff"/&gt;
            &lt;padding android:left="10dp" /&gt;
        &lt;/shape&gt;
    &lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/layer-list&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>But once I use the code shown above, my bullet points look like this:</p>

<p><img src="http://i.stack.imgur.com/ejsHP.png" alt="Result of the XML shown above"></p>

<p>It seems the <code>&lt;size&gt;</code> tag is ignored completely.</p>

<p>How would you solve this problem? Using a 9patch, yes I know.. perhaps that's the easiest to do.. but in fact I was hoping to find a XML solution as it's more flexible in the future.</p>

<p>Custom drawing is also out of the question.</p>
