A set of custom shaped Android ImageView components (bubble, rounded, hexagon, etc.) plus a framework for defining new shapes using shader-based canvas drawing or bitmap masks. Written in Java and distributed via Maven Central as an AAR.

Use cases

• display images in custom shapes like bubbles or hexagons in an android app
• show chat message images with a speech bubble pointer
• crop images into circles or rounded rectangles in a listview
• create a framework of shaped imageviews with smooth scrolling performance
• mask images with android shape XML drawables

When to choose

• you need performant shaped imageviews inside recycling views like ListView or GridView
• you want prebuilt shapes such as bubbles, stars, or polygons plus a way to define your own
• you prefer a simple gradle dependency with XML attributes for configuration

When to avoid

• you are building with Jetpack Compose rather than XML views
• you need actively maintained support for the latest Android versions
• you only need simple circular cropping, which many newer libraries or built-in APIs handle
