android: create circular image with picasso

Question

The question had been asked and there had been a promise made for the very version of Picasso that I am using: How do I send a circular bitmap to an ImageView using Picasso?

Answer 1

here is something that's provided by the support-v4 library! Look into RoundedBitmapDrawable. No need to roll your own:

Picasso.with(context).load(url)
                        .resize(w, h)
                        .into(myImageView, new Callback() {
                            @Override
                            public void onSuccess() {
                                Bitmap imageBitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) myImageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
                                RoundedBitmapDrawable imageDrawable = RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(getResources(), imageBitmap);
                                imageDrawable.setCircular(true);
                                imageDrawable.setCornerRadius(Math.max(imageBitmap.getWidth(), imageBitmap.getHeight()) / 2.0f);
                                myImageView.setImageDrawable(imageDrawable);
                            }
                            @Override
                            public void onError() {
                                myImageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.default_image);
                            }
                        });

Note: Picasso also has a .transform(customTransformation) call that you could theoretically use, however, I had issues with that. This above works. Good luck!
