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?

None of the methods provided in the answers worked for me. I found the following way works if your android version is 5.0 or above:

        if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP) {

                    ViewOutlineProvider provider = new ViewOutlineProvider() {
                        @Override
                        public void getOutline(View view, Outline outline) {
                            int curveRadius = 24;
                            outline.setRoundRect(0, 0, view.getWidth(), (view.getHeight()+curveRadius), curveRadius);
                        }
                    };
                    imageview.setOutlineProvider(provider);
                    imageview.setClipToOutline(true);
        }   

No xml shapes to be defined, and the code above create corners only for top, which normal methods won't work. If you need 4 corners to be rounded, remove:

"+ curveRadius"  

From the parameter for bottom in setRoundRect. You can further expand the shape to any others by specifying outlines that suit your needs. Check out the following link:
