A View occupies a rectangular area on the screen and is responsible for drawing and event handling. Views are used for Drawing Shapes like Circles,Rectangles,Ovals etc . Just Use View with background and apply a Shape using Custom Drawable.
You will find out this file inside the res folder and inside it there is another folder named layout where you will get all the layout files for their respective activities or fragments.
Android provides a straightforward XML vocabulary that corresponds to the View classes and subclasses, such as those for widgets and layouts. You can also use Android Studio's Layout Editor to build your XML layout using a drag-and-drop interface.
The Layout Editor appears when you open an XML layout file. Palette: Contains various views and view groups that you can drag into your layout. Component Tree: Shows the hierarchy of components in your layout. Toolbar: Click these buttons to configure your layout appearance in the editor and change layout attributes.
The issue is you are looking at the XML file located in this project location:
build/res/all/debug
You need to view it in this location:
src/main/res/layout
