How to Create a CircularImageView in Android using hdodenhof Library?

The hdodenhof/CircleImageView library is a popular library to create a circular ImageView in Android. It's easy to integrate and use. Here's how to do it:

1. Add Dependency:

First, add the library to your build.gradle (Module: app):

implementation 'de.hdodenhof:circleimageview:3.1.0'

After adding the dependency, sync your project with the Gradle files.

2. Add CircularImageView to your Layout:

In your XML layout (activity_main.xml or other), add the CircleImageView:

<de.hdodenhof.circleimageview.CircleImageView
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    android:id="@+id/profile_image"
    android:layout_width="96dp"
    android:layout_height="96dp"
    android:src="@drawable/your_image"
    app:civ_border_width="2dp"
    app:civ_border_color="#FF000000"/>

In the example above:

  • android:src sets the image.
  • app:civ_border_width and app:civ_border_color set the width and color of the circular border respectively.

3. Reference and Use in Your Java/Kotlin Code:

You can reference the CircleImageView in your activity or fragment just like you would with a standard ImageView:

val profileImage: CircleImageView = findViewById(R.id.profile_image)
profileImage.setImageResource(R.drawable.new_image)

4. Customize (Optional):

Some customization options include:

  • Border Width & Color: As shown in the XML above, you can set civ_border_width and civ_border_color to customize the border.

  • Set Image Resource Programmatically: Use setImageResource(int resId), setImageDrawable(Drawable drawable), or other ImageView methods.

5. Test:

Run your application on an emulator or a physical device to see the circular ImageView.

That's it! The hdodenhof/CircleImageView library makes it easy to create circular ImageViews without the need for custom transformations or additional work.
