Converting XML android:background to Java Program Code

Vote count:

I have created a RelativeLayout in an XML that contains a TextView like this:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView5"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView3"
    android:layout_below="@+id/button1"
    android:layout_marginTop="28dp"
    android:background="@drawable/rounded_edges"
    android:textSize="25sp" />

so that a circle will be drawn under the text. The rounded_edges.xml is defined as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://ift.tt/nIICcg" 
    android:shape="oval">
    <corners android:radius="10dip"/>
    <stroke android:color="#c00000" android:width="2dip"/>
    <solid android:color="#ffffff"/>
</shape>

Then I needed more textViews depending on a number entered by user. Each textView will show a number with a circle below. I succeeded in creating the textViews programmatically in the Java code as below, except for the circle:

final TextView textView5 = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.textView5);

// size stores the number entered by user
RelativeLayout myLayout =  (RelativeLayout)findViewById(R.id.layout1);

// Creating a new TextView
TextView[] tv = new TextView[size+1];
TextView temptv;

for (i = 1; i <= size; i++) {
    temptv = new TextView(MainActivity.this);
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp = new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);

    if (i > 1) {
        lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, R.id.textView5);
        lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.RIGHT_OF, tv[i-1].getId());
    }
    else {
        lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.BELOW, R.id.textView5);
        lp.addRule(RelativeLayout.ALIGN_LEFT, R.id.textView5);
    }

    // width of Text
    temptv.setWidth(50);
    // size of Text
    temptv.setTextSize(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_SP, 25);

    temptv.setLayoutParams(lp);
    myLayout.addView(temptv, lp);

    answer = "<font color='#8000ff'>" + mynum[i] + "</font>";
    answer = answer + "&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;";

    // Update the label with our dynamic answer
    temptv.setText(Html.fromHtml(answer));
    tv[i] = temptv;
    tv[i].setId(i);

}
setContentView(myLayout);

Is there a way to convert the android:background="@drawable/rounded_edges" to Java code so that I can still use the rounded_edges.xml to draw the circles? Or do I have to draw it completely from scratch in Java?
