How to create circular facebook profile picture

Question

I'm having trouble using this library to make one of my images into a circle dynamically. Here is my attempt:

private void drawerSetup() {
    Profile profile = Profile.getCurrentProfile();
    ProfilePictureView profilePictureView = (ProfilePictureView) findViewById(R.id.profile_image);
    CircularImageView circularProfilePicture = (CircularImageView)    findViewById(R.id.profile_image_circle);
    if(profilePictureView != null) {
        profilePictureView.setProfileId(profile.getId());
        ImageView imageView = ((ImageView)profilePictureView.getChildAt(0));
        Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)imageView.getDrawable()).getBitmap();
        circularProfilePicture.setImageBitmap(bitmap);
    }
}

Layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="200dp"
    xmlns:facebook="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:background="@drawable/side_nav_bar"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:gravity="bottom"
    app:showIn="@layout/activity_news_feed">

<com.facebook.login.widget.ProfilePictureView
    android:id="@+id/profile_image"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    facebook:com_facebook_preset_size="normal"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:paddingBottom="8dp"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true" />

<com.mikhaellopez.circularimageview.CircularImageView
    android:layout_width="100dp"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    app:border_color="#EEEEEE"
    app:border_width="2dp"
    app:shadow="true"
    app:shadow_radius="10"
    android:id="@+id/profile_image_circle"
    app:shadow_color="#000000"
    android:layout_alignBottom="@+id/profile_image"
    android:layout_toLeftOf="@+id/profile_image"
    android:layout_toStartOf="@+id/profile_image" />

I know that my profilePictureView is displaying correctly when i call profilePictureView.setProfileId(profile.getId()); On my layout, it displays correctly. However, when I try to call the circularProfilePicture, I simply get an "empty" photo. It doesn't seem like the bitmap for the image isn't being recognized/set correctly. The image doesn't display as the profilePictureView does. Any ideas why this might happen?

Answer 1

After using different image library (including Picasso), I finished to use Facebook one named Fresco. It's much faster with less code, everyting works as it should.

Fresco support:

• streaming of progressive JPEGs
• display of animated GIFs and WebPs
• extensive customization of image loading and display

The doc says too that

In Android 4.x and lower, Fresco puts images in a special region of Android memory. This lets your application run faster - and suffer the dreaded OutOfMemoryError much less often.

It also support rounded corner as you are searching, see here.

Layout example:

        <com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView
            android:id="@+id/avatarImageView"
            android:layout_width="50dp"
            android:layout_height="50dp"
            fresco:placeholderImageScaleType="centerCrop"
            fresco:placeholderImage="@drawable/photo_placeholder"
            fresco:roundAsCircle="true"/>

Note: don't forget to call Fresco.initialize(this); somewhere (normally in your Application class).

I should also notice that Fresco currently add 2.6Mb to your application using ProGuard. You may choose to use another library such as Glide if you want less functionality.

Answer 2

I can't help but notice most answers asking you to use 2 libraries, 1 for loading the Image and 2nd for displaying it. Your goal as a developer should always be to get your task done with the minimum number of libraries and here is a solution that only needs 1 library. I will use Glide here since it caches the images exactly for the size you need. I haven't used Fresco so cannot comment on it but HERE's something on Picasso vs. Glide

Step 1

Create your layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="@dimen/nav_header_height"
android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark">

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_centerInParent="true"
    android:gravity="center"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/image_profile"
        android:layout_width="@dimen/profile_picture_size"
        android:layout_height="@dimen/profile_picture_size"
        android:background="@drawable/image_circle"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/nav_header_vertical_spacing"
        android:src="@drawable/com_facebook_profile_picture_blank_square" />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/text_username"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:paddingTop="@dimen/nav_header_vertical_spacing"
        android:text="@string/placeholder_name"
        android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1"
        android:textColor="@color/colorTextPrimary" />
</LinearLayout>


</RelativeLayout>

This is what my Layout looks like, notice I used a plain simple ImageView instead of a fancy library. Feel free to adjust it to match your needs.

Step 2

Write a custom transform to convert a square image into a Circle Image. Glide uses something called Transformations to let you manipulate images according to what you need. Read THIS post for what transformations are and read THIS post to play with some custom transformations. In our case our transformation class looks like this.

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Bitmap;
import android.graphics.BitmapShader;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Matrix;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import com.bumptech.glide.Glide;
import com.bumptech.glide.load.Transformation;
import com.bumptech.glide.load.engine.Resource;
import com.bumptech.glide.load.engine.bitmap_recycle.BitmapPool;
import com.bumptech.glide.load.resource.bitmap.BitmapResource;

public class CropCircleTransform implements Transformation<Bitmap> {

private BitmapPool mBitmapPool;

public CropCircleTransform(Context context) {
    this(Glide.get(context).getBitmapPool());
}

public CropCircleTransform(BitmapPool pool) {
    this.mBitmapPool = pool;
}

@Override
public Resource<Bitmap> transform(Resource<Bitmap> resource, int outWidth, int outHeight) {
    Bitmap source = resource.get();
    int size = Math.min(source.getWidth(), source.getHeight());

    int width = (source.getWidth() - size) / 2;
    int height = (source.getHeight() - size) / 2;

    Bitmap bitmap = mBitmapPool.get(size, size, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    if (bitmap == null) {
        bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(size, size, Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
    }

    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
    Paint paint = new Paint();
    BitmapShader shader =
            new BitmapShader(source, BitmapShader.TileMode.CLAMP, BitmapShader.TileMode.CLAMP);
    if (width != 0 || height != 0) {
        // source isn't square, move viewport to center
        Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
        matrix.setTranslate(-width, -height);
        shader.setLocalMatrix(matrix);
    }
    paint.setShader(shader);
    paint.setAntiAlias(true);

    float r = size / 2f;
    canvas.drawCircle(r, r, r, paint);

    return BitmapResource.obtain(bitmap, mBitmapPool);
}

@Override public String getId() {
    return "CropCircleTransform()";
}
}

Step 3 Load the picture into this layout using Glide. Admin is an object that contains details such as name, email, profile picture url etc, mDrawer is a reference to the NavigationView. Notice how Glide uses the transformation defined in step 2 to achieve the circular image effect.

public void addHeaderToDrawer(@NonNull Admin admin) {
    View headerView = mDrawer.inflateHeaderView(R.layout.nav_header_main);
    TextView textUserName = (TextView) headerView.findViewById(R.id.text_username);
    ImageView imageProfile = (ImageView) headerView.findViewById(R.id.image_profile);
    textUserName.setText(admin.getName());
    Glide.with(mContext)
            .load(admin.getUrl())
            .asBitmap()
            .transform(new CropCircleTransform(mContext))
            .into(imageProfile);
}

Step 4

Sit back and enjoy the show. I am also loading the data from Facebook, let me know if you are still facing any issues :)

I achieve this through using PICASSO library. No need to use CircularImageView Here is my code:

Target target = new Target() {

        @Override
        public void onPrepareLoad(Drawable arg0) {
            // Toast.makeText(FragmentChatView.this, "message",
            // Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
        }

        @Override
        public void onBitmapLoaded(Bitmap bitmap, Picasso.LoadedFrom arg1) {
            bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(bitmap, 40, 40, false);
            final Drawable drawImage = new BitmapDrawable(BaseActivity.this
                    .getBaseContext().getResources(), bitmap);
            // ((MaterialNavigationDrawer<Fragment>)
            // FragmentChatView.this).getToolbar().setLogo(drawImage);
            if (iv_logo != null)
                iv_logo.setImageDrawable(drawImage);
        }

        @Override
        public void onBitmapFailed(Drawable arg0) {

        }
    };

    public class CircleTransform implements Transformation {
        @Override
        public Bitmap transform(Bitmap source) {
            int size = Math.min(source.getWidth(), source.getHeight());

            int x = (source.getWidth() - size) / 2;
            int y = (source.getHeight() - size) / 2;

            Bitmap squaredBitmap = Bitmap
                    .createBitmap(source, x, y, size, size);
            if (squaredBitmap != source) {
                source.recycle();
            }

            Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(size, size, source.getConfig());

            Canvas canvas = new Canvas(bitmap);
            Paint paint = new Paint();
            BitmapShader shader = new BitmapShader(squaredBitmap,
                    BitmapShader.TileMode.CLAMP, BitmapShader.TileMode.CLAMP);
            paint.setShader(shader);
            paint.setAntiAlias(true);

            float r = size / 2f;
            canvas.drawCircle(r, r, r, paint);

            squaredBitmap.recycle();
            return bitmap;
        }

        @Override
        public String key() {
            return "circle";
        }
    }

Hope it will work for you.

try this

           <ImageView
            android:layout_width="150dp"
            android:layout_height="150dp"
            android:background="@drawable/shape"
            android:src="@drawable/User"
            android:id="@+id/imageView2" />

shape.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="oval">
<gradient
    android:angle="0"
    android:centerColor="#ffffff"
    android:centerX="35%"
    android:endColor="#ffffff"
    android:startColor="#ffffff"
    android:type="linear" />
<padding
    android:bottom="20dp"
    android:left="20dp"
    android:right="20dp"
    android:top="20dp" />
<size
    android:width="150dp"
    android:height="150dp" />
<stroke
    android:width="5dp"
    android:color="@color/allThemeBlue" />

</shape>

out put

Try this library: https://github.com/hdodenhof/CircleImageView. I've tried several alternatives, and this one was the lucky winner.
