<ImageView android:layout_width="60dp"

           android:id="@+id/image_view"/>

Create simple tile:

TextDrawable drawable = TextDrawable.builder()
                .buildRect("A", Color.RED);

ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.image_view);
image.setImageDrawable(drawable);

Create rounded corner or circular tiles:

TextDrawable drawable1 = TextDrawable.builder()
                .buildRoundRect("A", Color.RED, 10); // radius in px

TextDrawable drawable2 = TextDrawable.builder()
                .buildRound("A", Color.RED);

Add border:

TextDrawable drawable = TextDrawable.builder()
                .beginConfig()
                    .withBorder(4) /* thickness in px */
                .endConfig()
                .buildRoundRect("A", Color.RED, 10);

Modify font style:

TextDrawable drawable = TextDrawable.builder()
                .beginConfig()
                    .textColor(Color.BLACK)
                    .useFont(Typeface.DEFAULT)
                    .fontSize(30) /* size in px */
                    .bold()
                    .toUpperCase()
                .endConfig()
                .buildRect("a", Color.RED)
