Answer 1

This may not be the best way and you may not be able to change a lot of properties, but it is surely the easiest way. I just used this library and I made a circular imageview that has also a border.

So, this is my solution:

First, I put this in my build.grandle:

`compile 'com.github.siyamed:android-shape-imageview:0.9.+@aar'`

Second, I put this in my .xml layout file:

In my .java file, this is the way I can take or set the image to the CircularImageView:

final com.github.siyamed.shapeimageview.CircularImageView photo = (com.github.siyamed.shapeimageview.CircularImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.photo);

photo.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.female);

That's all I've done to do the an image circular with white border.
