android how to change <item> width and height

Question

I'm making a <layer-list> for drawable.

I have my background image, and I want the second layer to be smaller, but it seems that doesn't matter what I'm writing inside my android:layer_width and android:layer_height.

The second layer size is still the same.

Here is my xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <layer-list     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content">      <item         android:drawable="@drawable/picuser"          android:layout_width="50dp"         android:layout_height="50dp" />      <item         android:drawable="@drawable/ic_launcher"          android:layout_width="10dp"         android:layout_height="10dp" /> </layer-list>

This is kind of a workaround, but it worked for me.
You can use padding in order to make the second drawable smaller.

<item android:drawable="@drawable/circyle" />  <item     android:drawable="@drawable/plus"      android:top="10dp"     android:bottom="10dp"     android:right="10dp"     android:left="10dp" />
