I currently create a rounded version of an image in my app by drawing to a canvas. I would like to draw a faint outershadow around the image, but I cant quite get it right. I have 2 questions: 1. How can I draw an outer shadow (I can only seem to draw a shadow with a x or y offset) 2. How can I draw the shadow so that it does not have the artifacts shown in the attached image. Code: ![public Bitmap getRoundedCornerBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, float cornerRadius) { Bitmap output = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap.getWidth()+6, bitmap.getHeight() +6, Config.ARGB_8888); Canvas canvas = new Canvas(output); final int color = 0xff424242; int shadowRadius = getDipsFromPixel(3); final Rect imageRect = new Rect(shadowRadius, shadowRadius, bitmap.getWidth(), bitmap.getHeight()); final RectF rectF = new RectF(imageRect); // This does not achieve the desired effect Paint shadowPaint = new Paint(); shadowPaint.setAntiAlias(true); shadowPaint.setColor(Color.BLACK); shadowPaint.setShadowLayer((float)shadowRadius, 2.0f, 2.0f,Color.BLACK); canvas.drawOval(rectF, shadowPaint); canvas.drawARGB(0, 0, 0, 0); final Paint paint = new Paint(); paint.setAntiAlias(true); paint.setColor(color); canvas.drawRoundRect(rectF, cornerRadius, cornerRadius, paint); paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(Mode.SRC_IN)); canvas.drawBitmap(bitmap, imageRect, imageRect, paint); return output; }][1] This is an example of the effect I am trying to achieve:
