How to make an ImageView with rounded corners?

Question

In Android, an ImageView is a rectangle by default. How can I make it a rounded rectangle (clip off all 4 corners of my Bitmap to be rounded rectangles) in the ImageView?

Here is a simple example overriding imageView, you can then also use it in layout designer to preview.

public class RoundedImageView extends ImageView {

    public RoundedImageView(Context context) {
        super(context);
    }

    public RoundedImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public RoundedImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    }

    @TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP)
    public RoundedImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr, int defStyleRes) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr, defStyleRes);
    }

    @Override
    public void setImageDrawable(Drawable drawable) {
        float radius = 0.1f;
        Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) drawable).getBitmap();
        RoundedBitmapDrawable rid = RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(getResources(), bitmap);
        rid.setCornerRadius(bitmap.getWidth() * radius);
        super.setImageDrawable(rid);
    }
}

This is for fast solution. Radius is used on all corners and is based of percentage of bitmap width.

I just overrided setImageDrawable and used support v4 method for rounded bitmap drawable.

Usage:

Preview with imageView and custom imageView:
