Using Images as Background in CardView Pre-Lollipop device issues
suggest changeWhile using Image/Colour as an background in a CardView, You might end up with slight white paddings (If default Card colour is white) on the edges. This occurs due to the default rounded corners in the Card View. Here is how to avoid those margins in Pre-lollipop devices.
We need to use an attribute card_view:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"
in the CardView. 1). In XML use the following snippet.
<android.support.v7.widget.CardView
xmlns:card_view="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
card_view:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/row_wallet_redeem_img"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:src="@drawable/bg_image" />
</android.support.v7.widget.CardView>
- In Java like this
cardView.setPreventCornerOverlap(false)
.
Doing so removes an unwanted padding on the Card’s edges. Here are some visual examples related to this implementation.
1 Card with image background in API 21 (perfectly fine)
2 Card with image background in API 19 without attribute (notice the paddings around image)
3 FIXED Card with image background in API 19 with attribute cardView.setPreventCornerOverlap(false)
(Issue now fixed)
