How to set background color for the Circle View?

[safaiyeh]

Setting the background color, colors the whole image view. How do I only color the circle view?

[hdodenhof]

There's an incomplete PR for this: #45 - I still need to find some time to cleanup and merge that one.

[hdodenhof]

Quick workaround:

CircleImageView imageView = ...

Drawable color = new ColorDrawable(getResources().getColor(R.color.foo));
Drawable image = getResources().getDrawable(R.drawable.bar);

LayerDrawable ld = new LayerDrawable(new Drawable[]{color, image});
imageView.setImageDrawable(ld);

Thanks, the workaround worked great.

Still if you use xml way of setting background, it applies to whole rectangular button view. It wont apply only to circle view. And background tint doesn't work for this view.

@Shreyas-R in XML you can now use the civ_fill_color attribute.

Like android:civ_fill_color=..... ??

[hdodenhof]

app:civ_fill_color="@color/foobar"

[Shreyas-R]

Using app: gives no Resource identifier error

Edit: Had old version of your gradle plugin. Updated now. Working fine. Thanks man

@madhavkate You can use an external library such as Picasso.

@madhavkate
Picasso example for loading the image from url :
Picasso.with(context).load(image_link).placeholder(R.drawable.pic).into(ImageView);

Try this:
app:civ_circle_background_color="@color/gray"
