Question

Is it possible to set background color for only (1/4)th portion of a View in Android? I have a use case where I need to select a view and color it after dividing it in portions, Ive looked at developer docs but I am unable to find a way to do the same.

Edit: I need to make it banded something like “| | | |” and I need to do it dynamically.
