How to crop circular area from bitmap in Android

Question

After long brainstorming I have found the solution

public Bitmap getCroppedBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
    Bitmap output = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth(),
            bitmap.getHeight(), Config.ARGB_8888);
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(output);

    final int color = 0xff424242;
    final Paint paint = new Paint();
    final Rect rect = new Rect(0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight());

    paint.setAntiAlias(true);
    canvas.drawARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);
    paint.setColor(color);
    // canvas.drawRoundRect(rectF, roundPx, roundPx, paint);
    canvas.drawCircle(bitmap.getWidth() / 2, bitmap.getHeight() / 2,
            bitmap.getWidth() / 2, paint);
    paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(Mode.SRC_IN));
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, rect, rect, paint);
    //Bitmap _bmp = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(output, 60, 60, false);
    //return _bmp;
    return output;
}

to generate Circle from rectangles

public static Bitmap getCircularBitmap(Bitmap bitmap) {
    Bitmap output;

    if (bitmap.getWidth() > bitmap.getHeight()) {
        output = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getHeight(), bitmap.getHeight(), Config.ARGB_8888);
    } else {
        output = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getWidth(), Config.ARGB_8888);
    }

    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(output);

    final int color = 0xff424242;
    final Paint paint = new Paint();
    final Rect rect = new Rect(0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight());

    float r = 0;

    if (bitmap.getWidth() > bitmap.getHeight()) {
        r = bitmap.getHeight() / 2;
    } else {
        r = bitmap.getWidth() / 2;
    }

    paint.setAntiAlias(true);
    canvas.drawARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);
    paint.setColor(color);
    canvas.drawCircle(r, r, r, paint);
    paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(Mode.SRC_IN));
    canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, rect, rect, paint);
    return output;
}

You Can make your imageview circular using RoundedBitmapDrawable

here is the code for achieving roundedImageview:

ImageView profilePic=(ImageView)findViewById(R.id.user_image);

//get bitmap of the image
Bitmap imageBitmap=BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(),  R.drawable.large_icon);
RoundedBitmapDrawable roundedBitmapDrawable=RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(getResources(), imageBitmap);

//setting radius
roundedBitmapDrawable.setCornerRadius(50.0f);
roundedBitmapDrawable.setAntiAlias(true);
profilePic.setImageDrawable(roundedBitmapDrawable);

@Gene made a comment on the answer above that suggested using clipPath as an option for cropping an image as a circle.

The following is a clean implementation of this:

    public static Bitmap GetBitmapClippedCircle(Bitmap bitmap) {

        final int width = bitmap.getWidth();
        final int height = bitmap.getHeight();
        final Bitmap outputBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(width, height, Config.ARGB_8888);

        final Path path = new Path();
        path.addCircle(
                  (float)(width / 2)
                , (float)(height / 2)
                , (float) Math.min(width, (height / 2))
                , Path.Direction.CCW);

        final Canvas canvas = new Canvas(outputBitmap);
        canvas.clipPath(path);
        canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, null);
        return outputBitmap;
    }

This could be added to a utility class.

I think this solution works better with any type of rectangle, change the pixel size if you want image small or large :

public static Bitmap getCircleBitmap(Bitmap bm) {

        int sice = Math.min((bm.getWidth()), (bm.getHeight()));

        Bitmap bitmap = ThumbnailUtils.extractThumbnail(bm, sice, sice);

        Bitmap output = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);

        Canvas canvas = new Canvas(output);

        final int color = 0xffff0000;
        final Paint paint = new Paint();
        final Rect rect = new Rect(0, 0, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight());
        final RectF rectF = new RectF(rect);

        paint.setAntiAlias(true);
        paint.setDither(true);
        paint.setFilterBitmap(true);
        canvas.drawARGB(0, 0, 0, 0);
        paint.setColor(color);
        canvas.drawOval(rectF, paint);

        paint.setColor(Color.BLUE);
        paint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
        paint.setStrokeWidth((float) 4);
        paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(Mode.SRC_IN));
        canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, rect, rect, paint);

        return output;
    }

This can be easlity done in xml as well without cropping the actual bitmap, You just need to create a circular image mask and place over your actual image. Here is the piece of code which i used:

circle.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:shape="oval" >
    <gradient android:startColor="#00FFFFFF" android:endColor="#00FFFFFF"
        android:angle="270"/>
     <stroke android:width="10dp" android:color="#FFAAAAAA"/>

your_layout.xml (Ignore "android:scaleType="fitXY"" if you don't need it)

<RelativeLayout

        android:id="@+id/icon_layout"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/icon_mask"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/icon_mask"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_alignParentTop="true" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/icon"
            android:layout_width="@dimen/icon"
            android:layout_height="@dimen/icon"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"
            android:scaleType="fitXY" >
        </ImageView>

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/icon_mask"
            android:layout_width="@dimen/icon_mask"
            android:layout_height="@dimen/icon_mask"
            android:layout_centerInParent="true"
            android:background="@drawable/circle"
            android:scaleType="fitXY" >
        </ImageView>
    </RelativeLayout>
