How to round an image with Glide library?

Question

So, anybody know how to display an image with rounded corners with Glide? I am loading an image with Glide, but I don\'t know how to pass rounded params to this library.

Here is a more modular and cleaner way to circle crop your bitmap in Glide:

1. Create a custom transformation by extending BitmapTransformation then override transform method like this :

For Glide 4.x.x

public class CircularTransformation extends BitmapTransformation {

@Override
protected Bitmap transform(BitmapPool pool, Bitmap toTransform, int outWidth, int outHeight) {
    RoundedBitmapDrawable circularBitmapDrawable =
            RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(null, toTransform);
    circularBitmapDrawable.setCircular(true);
    Bitmap bitmap = pool.get(outWidth, outHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
    circularBitmapDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, outWidth, outHeight);
    circularBitmapDrawable.draw(canvas);
    return bitmap;
    }

@Override
public void updateDiskCacheKey(MessageDigest messageDigest) {}

}

For Glide 3.x.x

public class CircularTransformation extends BitmapTransformation {

@Override
protected Bitmap transform(BitmapPool pool, Bitmap toTransform, int outWidth, int outHeight) {
    RoundedBitmapDrawable circularBitmapDrawable =
            RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(null, toTransform);
    circularBitmapDrawable.setCircular(true);
    Bitmap bitmap = pool.get(outWidth, outHeight, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
    circularBitmapDrawable.setBounds(0, 0, outWidth, outHeight);
    circularBitmapDrawable.draw(canvas);
    return bitmap;
    }

@Override
public String getId() {
    // Return some id that uniquely identifies your transformation.
    return "CircularTransformation";
    }

}

2. Then set it in Glide builder where you need it:

Glide.with(yourActivity)
   .load(yourUrl)
   .asBitmap()
   .transform(new CircularTransformation())
   .into(yourView);

Hope this helps :)
