Or static initializer (see xml attributes below for customization):

            .shapeColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.circle_color))
            .shapeType(SHAPE.CIRCLE)
            .letter("S")
            .letterColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.letter_color))
            .letterSize(26)
            .lettersNumber(1)
            .letterTypeface(yourTypeface)
            .initials(false)
            .initialsNumber(2)
            .create();

Configure using xml attributes or setters in code:

app:mli_shape_color="@color/black"      // shape color resource
app:mli_shape_type="circle"             // shape type (circle or rectangle)
app:mli_letter=""                       // letter, string or initials to get letters from
app:mli_letter_color="@color/white"     // letter color
app:mli_letter_size="26"                // letter size SP
app:mli_letters_number="1"              // number of letters to get from `mli_letter`
app:mli_initials="false"                // turn on initials mode (takes `mli_letters_number` of letters of each word in `mli_letter`)
app:mli_initials_number="2"             // number of initials to be showed

Rectangular shape with rounded corners code:

MaterialLetterIcon icon = new MaterialLetterIcon.Builder(context) //
            .shapeColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.circle_color))
            .shapeType(SHAPE.ROUND_RECT)
            .roundRectRx(8) // default x-corner radius
            .roundRectRy(8) // default x-corner radius
