Answer 1

you can add your ImageView in a CardView with attribute cardElevation=0

<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
                android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                android:id="@+id/thumbnail_card"
                card_view:cardCornerRadius="15dp"
                card_view:cardElevation="0dp"
                android:layout_margin="10dp">


            <ImageView
                android:id="@+id/thumbnail"
                android:layout_width="110dp"
                android:layout_height="75dp"
                android:scaleType="centerCrop" />

            </android.support.v7.widget.CardView>

Here's a super late answer but if you're trying to create a circular ImageView:

Create a drawable in drawable folder called circle:

<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:shape="oval">
    <solid
        android:color="@android:color/black"/>
    <size
        android:height="60dp"
        android:width="60dp"/>
</shape>

ImageView:

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/Dicimage"
    android:layout_width="130px"
    android:layout_height="100px"
    android:src="@drawable/slang"
    android:background="@drawable/circle"
    android:padding="1dp"/>

Answer 3

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" />

Answer 4

Use that xml file as foreground

I mean, instead of

android:background="@drawable/corner"

Use this

android:foreground="@drawable/corner"

Answer 5

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.

Answer 6

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>
