A basic app showing how to clip on a View using ViewOutlineProvider interface, by which a View builds its outline, used for shadowing and clipping.
The ViewOutlineProvider interface offers you a method to populate the outline of a View. You need to implement a getOutline(android.view.View, android.graphics.Outline) method to clip a View in a specific shape.
This example clips the outline of a View as a rounded rectangle by defining a class that implements ViewOutlineProvider by following code:
private class ClipOutlineProvider extends ViewOutlineProvider { @Override public void getOutline(View view, Outline outline) { final int margin = Math.min(view.getWidth(), view.getHeight()) / 10; outline.setRoundRect(margin, margin, view.getWidth() - margin, view.getHeight() - margin, margin / 2); } }
To clip a View by the defined outline, setting a OutlineProvider to a View to be clipped is needed like following:
final View clippedView = view.findViewById(R.id.frame); clippedView.setOutlineProvider(mOutlineProvider);
You can toggle if the View is clipped by calling setClipToOutline(boolean) like following code:
clippedView.setClipToOutline(true); // Setting false disable clipping
