How to crop circular area from bitmap in Android

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;
}

@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.


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);

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;
}
