xml - creating a Circular view in android

Question

I am trying to create a view where the icons are placed in the circular view rather then the existing view like grid or the gallery view. I tried with Carousel example but later on found that it will not meet my requirement because its 3D app, but i am looking for 2D View.Android 3D Carousel

This is the example that I was following. I was able to get the circular kind of thing but to meet my requirement I should stick with 2D.

My one more major requirement is inside circular view I must also have another circular view, something like below figure

Can anyone help me out in this?

Answer 1

For the layout of each circle I suggest this answer to question layout with buttons in a circle because it defines your item positions relative to the center of the enclosing RelativeLayout regardless of its size. You can then overlay the two circle layouts thus:

<RelativeLayout ...>
    <RelativeLayout // outer circle
        android:layout_alignParentCenter>
        ...
    </RelativeLayout>
    <RelativeLayout // inner circle
        android:layout_alignParentCenter>
        ...
    </RelativeLayout>
</RelativeLayout>

To rotate each of the circles independently, I suggest following this answer to question **Rotate View Hierarchy 90 Degrees".
