How to make a multi gradient?

Question

Java

Good evening! I'm making a gradient for a color selector, but I'm running into a problem. More than two colors cannot be specified. Tell me how to make a gradient of more than two colors?
It should look something like this:

Answer 1

Algorithmically:
1. Choose N colors between which we make a gradient;
2. Choose the order in which they appear in it;
3. Determine the distance between the colors;
4. We put colors at this distance and draw gradients in the usual way between each two;
5. ???;
6. Gradient.

Answer 2

Did I understand you correctly?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle" >

<gradient
    android:angle="45"
    android:endColor="#87CEEB"
    android:centerColor="#768087"
    android:startColor="#000"
    android:type="linear" />

</shape>
