How to make a view with rounded corners?

Question

I am trying to make a view in android with rounded edges. The solution I found so far is to define a shape with rounded corners and use it as the background of that view.

Answer 1

To create round corner image using com.google.android.material:material:1.2.0-beta01

 float radius = context.getResources().getDimension(R.dimen.border_radius_hug);
    shapeAppearanceModel = new ShapeAppearanceModel()
            .toBuilder()
            .setAllCorners(CornerFamily.ROUNDED,radius)
            .build();

imageView.setShapeAppearanceModel(shapeAppearanceModel)

or if you want to use it in xml file:

  <com.google.android.material.imageview.ShapeableImageView
            android:id="@+id/thumb"
            android:layout_width="80dp"
            android:layout_height="60dp"
            app:shapeAppearanceOverlay="@style/circleImageView"
            />

in style.xml add this:

<style name="circleImageView" parent="">
      <item name="cornerFamily">rounded</item>
      <item name="cornerSize">10%</item>
</style>

Answer 2

shape.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="rectangle">

    <solid android:color="#f6eef1" />

    <stroke
        android:width="2dp"
        android:color="#000000" />

    <padding
        android:bottom="5dp"
        android:left="5dp"
        android:right="5dp"
        android:top="5dp" />

    <corners android:radius="5dp" />

</shape>

and inside you layout

<LinearLayout
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:clipChildren="true"
        android:background="@drawable/shape">

        <ImageView
             android:layout_width="match_parent"
             android:layout_height="match_parent"
             android:src="@drawable/your image"
             android:background="@drawable/shape">

</LinearLayout>
