I wanted image to have rounded corners. I implement this xml code and use this in my image view. but image overlap the shape. I am downloading the image through async task.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
 <shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:shape="rectangle" >
 <corners android:radius="20dip" />
</shape>


<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/trVouchersImage"
    android:layout_width="55dp"
    android:layout_height="55dp"
    android:layout_marginLeft="8dp"
    android:layout_centerVertical="true"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:background="@drawable/ash_arrow"
 />

SIMPLEST APPROACH:

Create an xml file rounded_fg.xml under res/drawable/ folder of your app. The content of rounded_fg.xml is as follows,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:innerRadiusRatio="2"
    android:shape="ring"
    android:thicknessRatio="1"
    android:useLevel="false">
    <gradient
        android:type="radial"
        android:gradientRadius="8dp"
        android:endColor="@color/white"
       />
</shape>

You can match endColor with ImageView container layout background & gradientRadius may be any value as per your requirements (<=36dp).

Now use this drawable as foreground for your imageview as follows,

 <ImageView
     android:layout_width="55dp"
     android:layout_height="55dp" 
     android:foreground="@drawable/rounded_fg" />

Works perfect with square images and/or imageview.
