Create a dotted Dash effect outline in Android

I have drawn a circle with Style.Stroke and a dasheffect supplied to the paint object but the issue is that the shape of the dashes are squared/rectangled.
What i wish to achieve is the dashed shapes to be circles/dots.
Is this possible?
I tried playing with the dash values but it simply tweaks the size and gaps of each dash instead of the shape of it.
Here is what i have written so far:
paintCircleDotted = new Paint();
paintCircleDotted.setStyle(Style.STROKE);
paintCircleDotted.setStrokeWidth(strokeWidth);
dashPath = new DashPathEffect(new float 10, 5 , (float) 1.0);
paintCircleDotted.setPathEffect(dashPath);

Hope someone find this helpful.
To get actually round dots, you can define a circle.
Path path = new Path();
path.addCircle(0, 0, 6 /* Radius */, Path.Direction.CW);
And use the path with the circle as our path effect
mArcPaint.setPathEffect(new PathDashPathEffect(path, 40 /* spacing between each stamp of shape */, 0, PathDashPathEffect.Style.ROTATE));
