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?

Answer 1

if your image is on internet the best way is using glide and RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory (from API 21 - but available in support library) like so:

 Glide.with(ctx).load(url).asBitmap().centerCrop().into(new BitmapImageViewTarget(imageView) {
    @Override
    protected void setResource(Bitmap res) {
        RoundedBitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable =
             RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(ctx.getResources(), res);
        bitmapDrawable.setCircular(true);//comment this line and uncomment the next line if you dont want it fully cricular
        //circularBitmapDrawable.setCornerRadius(cornerRadius);
        imageView.setImageDrawable(bitmapDrawable);
    }
});
