Custom Imageview Class Not Working With Picasso Image Downloading Library

I have recently extended from an ImageView to create a CircularImageView class which makes the image circular with a coloured border. This is done via the onDraw(canvas) method by

Solution 1:

For circular images using Picasso, use this class that implements Transformation.

Picasso.with(context).load(url).transform(new RoundedTransformation(radius, margin)).into(imageview);

Solution 2:

When doing this with Picasso you should either:

1. Apply the rounding as a Transformation so that the rounded bitmap is cached in memory, or
2. Clamp the canvas with a shader in a custom ImageView subclass. Details on this technique were outlined by the ragin' cagin' Romain Guy on his blog

Trying to pull the underlying Bitmap out of an ImageView is an anti-pattern. If you do need access to a Bitmap (and you don't, you should use one of the above), implement Target on your view whose onBitmapSuccess callback will provide it.
