I have a rectangular image that I want to appear circular in an ImageView? I tried the following to no avail.
I create a circular xml shape and apply it as the background of my ImageView. Then I add the png image as the src
of the ImageView. But the image still appears rectangular in a circular view. When I try to scale the image in the view, it simply fills the view and forces the view to look rectangular. Of course I just want to effectively get a circular cross-section of the image, losing all four straight edges. I welcome any help.
<ImageView android:id="@+id/circular_content"
android:background="@drawable/bkg_circle_shape"
android:src="@drawable/img_1"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
Shape:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:padding="10dp"
android:shape="oval" >
<solid android:color="#CCFFFFFF" />
<size
android:height="300dp"
android:width="300dp" />
</shape>
