Unable to get exact circle shape when using card view

I'm using card view for floating action button in android material design. I'm using following code for get the circle

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
    android:id="@+id/fab"
    android:layout_width="38dp"
    android:layout_height="38dp"
    android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
    android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
    card_view:background="@color/blue"
    card_view:cardCornerRadius="19dp"
    card_view:cardPreventCornerOverlap = "false"
    card_view:cardElevation="6dp" >
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

I have set corner radius as half of width. but still I can't get the circle shape.

To achieve a circular shape using Card view you can set the shape property, android:shape="ring".
app:cardCornerRadius should be set to half the width or height of the child view

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:innerRadius="0dp"
        android:shape="ring"
        app:cardCornerRadius="75dp">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="150dp"
            android:layout_height="150dp"
            android:layout_gravity="center"
            android:background="@drawable/image" />
     </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

I have solved the problem. Now android providing design library for material design, which has the FloatingActionButton. No need of customizing card view for floating action button.

<android.support.design.widget.FloatingActionButton
        android:id="@+id/fab"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"
        android:layout_margin="@dimen/fab_margin"  />

Add design library in gradle dependencies

compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'

To get a perfect circle shape using a card view, corner radius should be 1/2 of width or height (taking into consideration that it is a square). also, I have noticed that you are using card_view params, don't.

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
android:layout_width="38dp"
android:layout_height="38dp"
app:cardCornerRadius="19dp"
app:cardElevation="6dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:id="@+id/fab"
android:background="@color/blue"
>

use

shape = "ring"

use same layout_height and layout_weight

and

app:cardCornerRadius= half of layout_height or layout_weight

example

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
                        android:id="@+id/cardview"
                        android:layout_width="110dp"
                        android:layout_height="110dp"
                        android:shape="ring"
                        app:cardCornerRadius="55dp">
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
