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

I found that both methods were very helpful in coming up with a working solution. Here is my composite version, that is pixel independent and allows you to have some square corners with the rest of the corners having the same radius (which is the usual use case). With thanks to both of the solutions above:

public static Bitmap getRoundedCornerBitmap(Context context, Bitmap input, int pixels , int w , int h , boolean squareTL, boolean squareTR, boolean squareBL, boolean squareBR  ) {

    Bitmap output = Bitmap.createBitmap(w, h, Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(output);
    final float densityMultiplier = context.getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;

    final int color = 0xff424242;
    final Paint paint = new Paint();
    final Rect rect = new Rect(0, 0, w, h);
    final RectF rectF = new RectF(rect);

    //make sure that our rounded corner is scaled appropriately
    final float roundPx = pixels*densityMultiplier;

    paint.setAntiAlias(true);
    canvas.drawARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);
    paint.setColor(color);
    canvas.drawRoundRect(rectF, roundPx, roundPx, paint);


    //draw rectangles over the corners we want to be square
    if (squareTL ){
        canvas.drawRect(0, h/2, w/2, h, paint);
    }
    if (squareTR ){
        canvas.drawRect(w/2, h/2, w, h, paint);
    }
    if (squareBL ){
        canvas.drawRect(0, 0, w/2, h/2, paint);
    }
    if (squareBR ){
        canvas.drawRect(w/2, 0, w, h/2, paint);
    }


    paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(PorterDuff.Mode.SRC_IN));
    canvas.drawBitmap(input, 0,0, paint);

    return output;
}

Also, I overrode ImageView to put this in so I could define it in xml. You may want to add in some of the logic that the super call makes here, but I've commented it as it's not helpful in my case.

    @Override
protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) {
    //super.onDraw(canvas);
        Drawable drawable = getDrawable();

        Bitmap b =  ((BitmapDrawable)drawable).getBitmap() ;
        Bitmap bitmap = b.copy(Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888, true);

        int w = getWidth(), h = getHeight();


        Bitmap roundBitmap =  CropImageView.getRoundedCornerBitmap( getContext(), bitmap,10 , w, h , true, false,true, false);
        canvas.drawBitmap(roundBitmap, 0,0 , null);
}

Hope this helps!
