Im trying to create a round frame around my bitmap!
With this c
Update
There now is RoundedBitmapDrawable and a corresponding factory in the Support library I recommend to use that, unless more flexibility is required.
Original Answer
You have to draw the circle after the bitmap. This is what did the trick for me.
int w = bitmap.getWidth();
int h = bitmap.getHeight();
int radius = Math.min(h / 2, w / 2);
Bitmap output = Bitmap.createBitmap(w + 8, h + 8, Config.ARGB_8888);
Paint p = new Paint();
p.setAntiAlias(true);
Canvas c = new Canvas(output);
c.drawARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);
p.setStyle(Style.FILL);
c.drawCircle((w / 2) + 4, (h / 2) + 4, radius, p);
p.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(Mode.SRC_IN));
c.drawBitmap(bitmap, 4, 4, p);
p.setXfermode(null);
p.setStyle(Style.STROKE);
p.setColor(Color.WHITE);
p.setStrokeWidth(3);
c.drawCircle((w / 2) + 4, (h / 2) + 4, radius, p);
return output;
This does of course not include the fancy shadow of your example. You might want to play around a little bit with the additional pixels.
