    android:shape="rectangle"> 
<solid android:color="#fff"/>    

<stroke android:width="0dp"
        android:color="#ff000000"/>

<padding android:left="2dp"

<corners android:radius="30px"/> 
   </shape>

What i am getting is, the border is only rounded rectangle but the image is still rectangle in shape

Answer 1

No, that is not possible. You have to do it programmatically.

What you are doing is create rounded corners background and draw the drawable over it.

Here's the great article of how to create rounded corners image from Romain Guy: http://www.curious-creature.org/2012/12/11/android-recipe-1-image-with-rounded-corners/

TRy this :

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

    <stroke android:width="3dp"
            android:color="#ff000000"/>

    <padding android:left="1dp"
             android:top="1dp"
             android:right="1dp"
             android:bottom="1dp"/> 

    <corners android:radius="30px"/> 
</shape>

Answer 3

Use that xml file as foreground

I mean, instead of

android:background="@drawable/corner"

Use this

android:foreground="@drawable/corner"

Answer 4

You should add this code as some_foreground.xml to drawable folder.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
        <item>
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <stroke
                    android:width="8dp"
                    android:color="@color/white" />
            </shape>
        </item>
        <item>
            <shape android:shape="rectangle">
                <corners android:radius="@dimen/padding_margin_8" />
                <stroke
                    android:width="8dp"
                    android:color="@color/white" />
            </shape>
        </item>
    </layer-list>

And then you can use this as foreground for your ImageView. You should add this like:

<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/event_image"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:foreground="@drawable/some_foreground"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop"
        android:src="@drawable/your_image" />
