How to give hexagon shape to ImageView . Is it possible to do in same way ? If so then how. If this is not possible through this then how this could be achieved ?

<shape xmlns:android="http//schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
       android:shape="hexagon">
  <solid android:color="#ffffffff" />
  <size android:width="60dp"
        android:height="40dp" />
</shape>

Here I can't do masking image because I can not detect which portion of bitmap I should crop to get hexagon shape bitmap. So I am looking for the answer to give hexagon shape to ImageView

Try this View. You might want to adjust it for your specific needs, but it draws a hexagon mask with a border on top of a view. The background resource goes below the mask.

The result:

enter image description here

The code:

HexagonMaskView.java

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.Region;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.view.View;

public class HexagonMaskView extends View {
    private Path hexagonPath;
    private Path hexagonBorderPath;
    private float radius;
    private float width, height;
    private int maskColor;

public HexagonMaskView(Context context) {
    super(context);
    init();
}

public HexagonMaskView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    init();
}

public HexagonMaskView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
    init();
}

private void init() {
    hexagonPath = new Path();
    hexagonBorderPath = new Path();
    maskColor = 0xFF01FF77;
}

public void setRadius(float r) {
    this.radius = r;
    calculatePath();
}

public void setMaskColor(int color) {
    this.maskColor = color;
    invalidate();
}

private void calculatePath() {
    float triangleHeight = (float) (Math.sqrt(3) * radius / 2);
    float centerX = width/2;
    float centerY = height/2;
    hexagonPath.moveTo(centerX, centerY + radius);
    hexagonPath.lineTo(centerX - triangleHeight, centerY + radius/2);
    hexagonPath.lineTo(centerX - triangleHeight, centerY - radius/2);
    hexagonPath.lineTo(centerX, centerY - radius);
    hexagonPath.lineTo(centerX + triangleHeight, centerY - radius/2);
    hexagonPath.lineTo(centerX + triangleHeight, centerY + radius/2);
    hexagonPath.moveTo(centerX, centerY + radius);

    float radiusBorder = radius - 5;    
    float triangleBorderHeight = (float) (Math.sqrt(3) * radiusBorder / 2);
    hexagonBorderPath.moveTo(centerX, centerY + radiusBorder);
    hexagonBorderPath.lineTo(centerX - triangleBorderHeight, centerY + radiusBorder/2);
    hexagonBorderPath.lineTo(centerX - triangleBorderHeight, centerY - radiusBorder/2);
    hexagonBorderPath.lineTo(centerX, centerY - radiusBorder);
    hexagonBorderPath.lineTo(centerX + triangleBorderHeight, centerY - radiusBorder/2);
    hexagonBorderPath.lineTo(centerX + triangleBorderHeight, centerY + radiusBorder/2);
    hexagonBorderPath.moveTo(centerX, centerY + radiusBorder);
    invalidate();
}

@Override
public void onDraw(Canvas c){
    super.onDraw(c);
    c.clipPath(hexagonBorderPath, Region.Op.DIFFERENCE);
    c.drawColor(Color.WHITE);
    c.save();
    c.clipPath(hexagonPath, Region.Op.DIFFERENCE);
    c.drawColor(maskColor);
    c.save();
}

// getting the view size and default radius
@Override
public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec){
    super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
    width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
    height =  MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
    radius = height / 2 - 10;
    calculatePath();
}
}

Update 29.07.2016

A better way to only clip the source image without painting the whole view's background. Switched to an ImageView as a base class to benefit from the scaleType. I also did some code refactoring.

import android.content.Context;
import android.graphics.Canvas;
import android.graphics.Color;
import android.graphics.Paint;
import android.graphics.Path;
import android.graphics.PorterDuff;
import android.graphics.Region;
import android.util.AttributeSet;
import android.widget.ImageView;

public class HexagonMaskView extends ImageView {
    private Path hexagonPath;
    private Path hexagonBorderPath;
    private Paint mBorderPaint;

    public HexagonMaskView(Context context) {
        super(context);
        init();
    }

    public HexagonMaskView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
        super(context, attrs);
        init();
    }

    public HexagonMaskView(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyleAttr) {
        super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr);
        init();
    }

    private void init() {
        this.hexagonPath = new Path();
        this.hexagonBorderPath = new Path();

        this.mBorderPaint = new Paint();
        this.mBorderPaint.setColor(Color.WHITE);
        this.mBorderPaint.setStrokeCap(Paint.Cap.ROUND);
        this.mBorderPaint.setStrokeWidth(50f);
        this.mBorderPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
    }

    public void setRadius(float radius) {
        calculatePath(radius);
    }

    public void setBorderColor(int color) {
        this.mBorderPaint.setColor(color);
        invalidate();
    }

    private void calculatePath(float radius) {
        float halfRadius = radius / 2f;
        float triangleHeight = (float) (Math.sqrt(3.0) * halfRadius);
        float centerX = getMeasuredWidth() / 2f;
        float centerY = getMeasuredHeight() / 2f;

        this.hexagonPath.reset();
        this.hexagonPath.moveTo(centerX, centerY + radius);
        this.hexagonPath.lineTo(centerX - triangleHeight, centerY + halfRadius);
        this.hexagonPath.lineTo(centerX - triangleHeight, centerY - halfRadius);
        this.hexagonPath.lineTo(centerX, centerY - radius);
        this.hexagonPath.lineTo(centerX + triangleHeight, centerY - halfRadius);
        this.hexagonPath.lineTo(centerX + triangleHeight, centerY + halfRadius);
        this.hexagonPath.close();

        float radiusBorder = radius - 5f;
        float halfRadiusBorder = radiusBorder / 2f;
        float triangleBorderHeight = (float) (Math.sqrt(3.0) * halfRadiusBorder);

        this.hexagonBorderPath.reset();
        this.hexagonBorderPath.moveTo(centerX, centerY + radiusBorder);
        this.hexagonBorderPath.lineTo(centerX - triangleBorderHeight, centerY + halfRadiusBorder);
        this.hexagonBorderPath.lineTo(centerX - triangleBorderHeight, centerY - halfRadiusBorder);
        this.hexagonBorderPath.lineTo(centerX, centerY - radiusBorder);
        this.hexagonBorderPath.lineTo(centerX + triangleBorderHeight, centerY - halfRadiusBorder);
        this.hexagonBorderPath.lineTo(centerX + triangleBorderHeight, centerY + halfRadiusBorder);
        this.hexagonBorderPath.close();
        invalidate();
    }

    @Override
    public void onDraw(Canvas c) {
        c.drawPath(hexagonBorderPath, mBorderPaint);
        c.clipPath(hexagonPath, Region.Op.INTERSECT);
        c.drawColor(Color.TRANSPARENT, PorterDuff.Mode.CLEAR);
        super.onDraw(c);
    }

    @Override
    public void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec){
        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);
        int width = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
        int height = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
        setMeasuredDimension(width, height);
        calculatePath(Math.min(width / 2f, height / 2f) - 10f);
    }
}

Example 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="match_parent"
    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:background="@android:color/holo_green_dark">

    <com.scelus.hexagonmaskimproved.HexagonMaskView
        android:id="@+id/image"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:src="@drawable/bear"
        android:background="@android:color/holo_green_light"/>

</RelativeLayout>
