ImageView in circular through xml

Question

I\'d Like to make any image from my ImageView to be circular with a border.

I searched but couldn\'t find any useful information (anything that I tried

Answer 1

Try this.

public class RoundedImageView extends android.support.v7.widget.AppCompatImageView {

    private int borderWidth = 4;
    private int viewWidth;
    private int viewHeight;
    private Bitmap image;
    private Paint paint;
    private Paint paintBorder;
    private BitmapShader shader;

    public RoundedImageView(Context context)
    {
        super(context);
        setup();
    }

    public RoundedImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
    {
        super(context, attrs);
        setup();
    }

    public RoundedImageView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle)
    {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
        setup();
    }

    private void setup()
    {
        paint = new Paint();
        paint.setAntiAlias(true);

        paintBorder = new Paint();
        setBorderColor(Color.WHITE);
        paintBorder.setAntiAlias(true);
        this.setLayerType(LAYER_TYPE_SOFTWARE, paintBorder);

        paintBorder.setShadowLayer(4.0f, 0.0f, 2.0f, Color.WHITE);
    }

    public void setBorderWidth(int borderWidth)
    {
        this.borderWidth = borderWidth;
        this.invalidate();
    }

    public void setBorderColor(int borderColor)
    {
        if (paintBorder != null)
            paintBorder.setColor(borderColor);

        this.invalidate();
    }

    private void loadBitmap()
    {
        BitmapDrawable bitmapDrawable = (BitmapDrawable) this.getDrawable();

        if (bitmapDrawable != null)
            image = bitmapDrawable.getBitmap();
    }

    @SuppressLint("DrawAllocation")
    @Override
    public void onDraw(Canvas canvas)
    {
        loadBitmap();

        if (image != null)
        {
            shader = new BitmapShader(Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(image, canvas.getWidth(), canvas.getHeight(), false), Shader.TileMode.CLAMP, Shader.TileMode.CLAMP);
            paint.setShader(shader);
            int circleCenter = viewWidth / 2;
            canvas.drawCircle(circleCenter + borderWidth, circleCenter + borderWidth, circleCenter + borderWidth - 4.0f, paintBorder);
            canvas.drawCircle(circleCenter + borderWidth, circleCenter + borderWidth, circleCenter - 4.0f, paint);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)
    {
        int width = measureWidth(widthMeasureSpec);
        int height = measureHeight(heightMeasureSpec, widthMeasureSpec);

        viewWidth = width - (borderWidth * 2);
        viewHeight = height - (borderWidth * 2);

        setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
    }

    private int measureWidth(int measureSpec)
    {
        int result = 0;
        int specMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(measureSpec);
        int specSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(measureSpec);

        if (specMode == MeasureSpec.EXACTLY)
        {
            result = specSize;
        }
        else
        {
            // Measure the text
            result = viewWidth;
        }

        return result;
    }

    private int measureHeight(int measureSpecHeight, int measureSpecWidth)
    {
        int result = 0;
        int specMode = MeasureSpec.getMode(measureSpecHeight);
        int specSize = MeasureSpec.getSize(measureSpecHeight);

        if (specMode == MeasureSpec.EXACTLY)
        {
            result = specSize;
        }
        else
        {
            result = viewHeight;
        }

        return (result + 2);
     }
 }

and use this ImageView in layout like:

<com.app.Demo.RoundedImageView
     android:id="@+id/iv_profileImage"
     android:layout_width="70dp"
     android:layout_height="70dp"
     android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    />

Answer 2

@Jyotman Singh, answer is very good (for solid backgrounds), so I would like to enhance it by sharing vector drawable that can be re-colored for your needs, also it is convenient since vector one-piece shape is well scalable.

This is the rectangle-circle shape (@drawable/shape_round_profile_pic):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<vector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:viewportWidth="284"
    android:viewportHeight="284"
    android:width="284dp"
    android:height="284dp">
    <path
        android:pathData="M0 142L0 0l142 0 142 0 0 142 0 142 -142 0 -142 0zm165 137.34231c26.06742 -4.1212 52.67405 -17.543 72.66855 -36.65787 11.82805 -11.30768 20.55487 -22.85153 27.7633 -36.72531C290.23789 158.21592 285.62874 101.14121 253.48951 58.078079 217.58149 9.9651706 154.68849 -10.125717 98.348685 8.5190299 48.695824 24.95084 12.527764 67.047123 3.437787 118.98655 1.4806194 130.16966 1.511302 152.96723 3.4990422 164.5 12.168375 214.79902 47.646316 256.70775 96 273.76783c21.72002 7.66322 44.26673 9.48476 69 5.57448z"
        android:fillColor="#ffffff" /> // you can change frame color
</vector>

Usage is the same:

<FrameLayout
        android:layout_width="70dp"
        android:layout_height="70dp">

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@drawable/YOUR_PICTURE" />

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:background="@drawable/shape_round_profile_pic"/>

    </FrameLayout>

I have a simple solution. Create a new Image asset by right clicking your package name and selecting New->Image asset. Enter name (any name) and path (location of image in your system). Then click Next and Finish. If you enter name of image as 'img', a round image with the name 'img_round' is created automatically in mipmap folder.

Then, do this :

<ImageView
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="100dp"
        android:src="@mipmap/img_round"/>

Your preview may still show a rectangular image. But if you run the app on your device, it will be round.

Answer 4

You can make a simple circle with white border and transparent content with shape.

// res/drawable/circle.xml

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:innerRadius="0dp"
    android:shape="ring"
    android:thicknessRatio="1.9"
    android:useLevel="false" >
    <solid android:color="@android:color/transparent" />

    <stroke
        android:width="10dp"
        android:color="@android:color/white" />
</shape>

Then make a layerlist drawable and put it as background to your imageview.

// res/drawable/img.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <item android:drawable="@drawable/circle"/>    
    <item android:drawable="@drawable/ic_launcher"/>

</layer-list>

and put it as background to your imageview.

   <ImageView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/img"/>

You'll have something like that.

Answer 5

With the help of glide library and RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory class it's easy to achieve. You may need to create circular placeholder image.

Glide V4:

Glide.with(context).load(url).apply(RequestOptions.circleCropTransform()).into(imageView);

Glide V3:

    Glide.with(context)
        .load(imgUrl)
        .asBitmap()
        .placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder)
        .error(R.drawable.placeholder)
        .into(new BitmapImageViewTarget(imgProfilePicture) {
            @Override
            protected void setResource(Bitmap resource) {
                RoundedBitmapDrawable drawable = RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(context.getResources(),
                        Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(resource, 50, 50, false));
                drawable.setCircular(true);
                imgProfilePicture.setImageDrawable(drawable);
            }
        });

For Picasso RoundedTransformation, this is a really great solution that gives an additional option of rounding image at either top or bottom edge.

Answer 6

Another idea is to use clipToOutline property of an ImageView.

Here is an example layout:

<androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">

    <!-- Simple view to draw borders for an image,
         borders will be rounded because of the oval-shaped background. -->
    <View
        android:id="@+id/v_border"
        android:layout_width="50dp"
        android:layout_height="50dp"
        android:background="@drawable/shape_border"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

    <!-- Image itself: fits the border view, 
         a margin serves as a border width;
         the key point here - is a background shape which will clip the view to its forms. -->
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/iv_image"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_margin="4dp"
        android:background="@drawable/shape_oval"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="@+id/v_border"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="@+id/v_border"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="@+id/v_border"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="@+id/v_border" />

</androidx.constraintlayout.widget.ConstraintLayout>

And here are our shape_border drawable:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="oval">
    <solid android:color="#FF00FF" />
</shape>

And shape_oval drawable:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="oval" />

The only thing you should do in the code - is to enable clipToOutline property:

binding.ivImage.clipToOutline = true

And of course you can avoid even this line of the code with some BindingAdapter.
