Does anyone know how to apply the ANTI_ALIAS_FLAG to ImageView's in layouts rather than in Java?

You want to apply the attribute android:antialias="true", like so:

<ImageView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/icon"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:antialias="true" />

android:antialias don't apply to the imageView! – Pablo Feb 05 '13 at 21:31
@Pablo, 2 years ago when this was answered it certainly did. Hence the OPs thankful comment and the up-votes from other users. But yeah. Thanks for pointing out that it was removed from the API nearly 2 years after the fact. – Chris Cashwell Feb 06 '13 at 06:46

So, what's the solution today (in 2013)? – William Grand Sep 12 '13 at 15:40

2013-year-way: declare special xml resource describing ImageView's content. For example we want an ImageView to contain antialiased Bitmap. So we need to write somethig like this:

<bitmap 
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:antialias="true"
    android:src="@drawable/ic_draggable_item"/>

Ugh. This is the annoying kind of API change. – greg7gkb May 09 '14 at 00:17
