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

Props to George Walters II above, I just took his answer and extended it a bit to support rounding individual corners differently. This could be optimized a bit further (some of the target rects overlap), but not a whole lot.

I know this thread is a bit old, but its one of the top results for queries on Google for how to round corners of ImageViews on Android.

/**
 * Use this method to scale a bitmap and give it specific rounded corners.
 * @param context Context object used to ascertain display density.
 * @param bitmap The original bitmap that will be scaled and have rounded corners applied to it.
 * @param upperLeft Corner radius for upper left.
 * @param upperRight Corner radius for upper right.
 * @param lowerRight Corner radius for lower right.
 * @param lowerLeft Corner radius for lower left.
 * @param endWidth Width to which to scale original bitmap.
 * @param endHeight Height to which to scale original bitmap.
 * @return Scaled bitmap with rounded corners.
 */
public static Bitmap getRoundedCornerBitmap(Context context, Bitmap bitmap, float upperLeft,
        float upperRight, float lowerRight, float lowerLeft, int endWidth,
        int endHeight) {
    float densityMultiplier = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;

    // scale incoming bitmap to appropriate px size given arguments and display dpi
    bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 
            Math.round(endWidth * densityMultiplier),
            Math.round(endHeight * densityMultiplier), true);

    // create empty bitmap for drawing
    Bitmap output = Bitmap.createBitmap(
            Math.round(endWidth * densityMultiplier),
            Math.round(endHeight * densityMultiplier), Config.ARGB_8888);

    // get canvas for empty bitmap
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(output);
    int width = canvas.getWidth();
    int height = canvas.getHeight();

    // scale the rounded corners appropriately given dpi
    upperLeft *= densityMultiplier;
    upperRight *= densityMultiplier;
    lowerRight *= densityMultiplier;
    lowerLeft *= densityMultiplier;

    Paint paint = new Paint();
    paint.setAntiAlias(true);
    paint.setColor(Color.WHITE);

    // fill the canvas with transparency
    canvas.drawARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);

    // draw the rounded corners around the image rect. clockwise, starting in upper left.
    canvas.drawCircle(upperLeft, upperLeft, upperLeft, paint);
    canvas.drawCircle(width - upperRight, upperRight, upperRight, paint);
    canvas.drawCircle(width - lowerRight, height - lowerRight, lowerRight, paint);
    canvas.drawCircle(lowerLeft, height - lowerLeft, lowerLeft, paint);

    // fill in all the gaps between circles. clockwise, starting at top.
    RectF rectT = new RectF(upperLeft, 0, width - upperRight, height / 2);
    RectF rectR = new RectF(width / 2, upperRight, width, height - lowerRight);
    RectF rectB = new RectF(lowerLeft, height / 2, width - lowerRight, height);
    RectF rectL = new RectF(0, upperLeft, width / 2, height - lowerLeft);

    canvas.drawRect(rectT, paint);
    canvas.drawRect(rectR, paint);
    canvas.drawRect(rectB, paint);
    canvas.drawRect(rectL, paint);

    // set up the rect for the image
    Rect imageRect = new Rect(0, 0, width, height);

    // set up paint object such that it only paints on Color.WHITE
    paint.setXfermode(new AvoidXfermode(Color.WHITE, 255, AvoidXfermode.Mode.TARGET));

    // draw resized bitmap onto imageRect in canvas, using paint as configured above
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, imageRect, imageRect, paint);

    return output;
}

In the v21 of the Support library there is now a solution to this: it's called RoundedBitmapDrawable.

It's basically just like a normal Drawable except you give it a corner radius for the clipping with:

setCornerRadius(float cornerRadius)

So, starting with Bitmap src and a target ImageView, it would look something like this:

RoundedBitmapDrawable dr = RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(res, src);
dr.setCornerRadius(cornerRadius);
imageView.setImageDrawable(dr);

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:

<com.example.widgets.RoundedImageView
        android:layout_width="39dp"
        android:layout_height="39dp"
        android:src="@drawable/your_drawable" />

Preview with imageView and custom imageView:

If you are using Glide Library this would be helpful:

Glide.with(getApplicationContext())
     .load(image_url)
     .asBitmap()
     .centerCrop()
     .into(new BitmapImageViewTarget(imageView) {
        @Override
        protected void setResource(Bitmap resource) {
          RoundedBitmapDrawable circularBitmapDrawable =
                       RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(getApplicationContext().getResources(), resource);
          circularBitmapDrawable.setCornerRadius(dpToPx(10));
          circularBitmapDrawable.setAntiAlias(true);
          imageView.setImageDrawable(circularBitmapDrawable);
        }
     });


public int dpToPx(int dp) {
  DisplayMetrics displayMetrics = getApplicationContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics();
  return Math.round(dp * (displayMetrics.xdpi / DisplayMetrics.DENSITY_DEFAULT));
}

Another easy way is to use a CardView with the corner radius and an ImageView inside:

  <androidx.cardview.widget.CardView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            app:cardCornerRadius="8dp"
            android:layout_margin="5dp"
            android:elevation="10dp">

            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/roundedImageView"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:src="@drawable/image"
                android:background="@color/white"
                android:scaleType="centerCrop"
                />
        </androidx.cardview.widget.CardView>

I have done by Custom ImageView:

public class RoundRectCornerImageView extends ImageView {

    private float radius = 18.0f;
    private Path path;
    private RectF rect;

    public RoundRectCornerImageView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init();
    }

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

    public RoundRectCornerImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        init();
    }

    private void init() {
        path = new Path();

    }

    @Override
    protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
        rect = new RectF(0, 0, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
        path.addRoundRect(rect, radius, radius, Path.Direction.CW);
        canvas.clipPath(path);
        super.onDraw(canvas);
    }
}

How to use:

<com.mypackage.RoundRectCornerImageView
     android:id="@+id/imageView"
     android:layout_width="match_parent"
     android:layout_height="match_parent"
     android:background="@drawable/image"
     android:scaleType="fitXY" />

Output:

Hope this would help you.
