IonDrawable cannot be cast to android.graphics.drawable.BitmapDrawable

Question

Trying to insert and image to Rounded Image using RoundedDrawable Class (Got it from https://github.com/vinc3m1/RoundedImageView).

The image is from a URL. If I use Koushik dutta's ION library for the image loading part I get the following error:

Looks like ION library support ImageView doesn't support customized Image View? Has anybody got issue like this if so how was it solved?

Thanks!

I encountered the same error and so i had to move to Picasso in order to solve it! — Pavlos, Sep 28 '14 at 02:17
In Picasso... There is problem for me. I am actually converting the XML to bitmap and when I do that Picasso is not loading the image properly the first time. I sometimes get image or sometimes I get the placeholder image. Hence wanted to try a different library... — TheDevMan, Sep 28 '14 at 02:41
Try Glide try UniversalImageLoader! There are plenty of libraries for such a job — Pavlos, Sep 28 '14 at 02:49
@Pavlos: I have tried UniversalImageLoader too, but couldn't succeed. I am little confused with options that are available in UniversalImageLoader. How do I set the image... Here is what I am trying to use Picasso http://txs.io/lUrb. I believe ImageLoader doesn't activate Cache by default. Can you suggest a code for the above lines. Thanks! — TheDevMan, Sep 28 '14 at 03:01

I personaly use Ion's callback to set the ImageView's Bitmap myself, and make it circular (or whatever) then:

final ImageView imageView = (ImageView) ...
Ion.with(context)
    .load(url)
    .asBitmap()
    .setCallback(new FutureCallback<Bitmap>() {
            @Override
            public void onCompleted(final Exception e, final Bitmap bitmap) {
                // check for (e != null)
                final Bitmap circleBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight(), Bitmap.Config.ARGB_8888);
                final BitmapShader shader = new BitmapShader (bitmap, Shader.TileMode.CLAMP, Shader.TileMode.CLAMP);
                final Paint paint = new Paint();
                paint.setShader(shader);
                final Canvas canvas = new Canvas(circleBitmap);
                canvas.drawCircle(bitmap.getWidth() / 2, bitmap.getHeight() / 2, bitmap.getWidth() / 2, paint);
                // maybe bitmap.recycle() here?
                imageView.setImageBitmap(circularBitmap);
            }
    });

This general structure allows you to work with Bitmap in any way you want.

EDIT: If you are using Support Library v4, you should use RoundedBitmapDrawable instead:

final RoundedBitmapDrawable roundedBitmapDrawable = RoundedBitmapDrawableFactory.create(getResources(), bitmap);
roundedBitmapDrawable.setCornerRadius(Math.min(roundedBitmapDrawable.getMinimumWidth(), roundedBitmapDrawable.getMinimumHeight()) / 2.0F);
imageView.setImageDrawable(roundedBitmapDrawable);

If you are using Support Library v4, you should use the updated code. — shkschneider, Feb 19 '15 at 14:18
