Avatars sometimes have a black background
Hello,
I am not sure if this a bug with ChatKit or with Picasso. I am using ChatKit 0.3.1 and Picasso 2.71828.
Sometimes avatar have a black background instead of a transparent background:
The images I am using are distant JPEG images.
(Here is the image used in the screenshot: https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-JzeJQJnmGAI/AAAAAAAAAAI/AAAAAAAAElU/6f7jUL7Ga8Y/photo.jpg)
My code for loading the images is very simple: https://github.com/Rudloff/hangupsdroid/blob/0a82adf591252be71f5c00c8a0cefb7fca310da3/app/src/main/java/pro/rudloff/hangupsdroid/AvatarLoader.java#L9
Same error.
I tried with ChatKit 0.3.0 and works fine with picasso 2.71828
Hi! On some devices we have this problem. It's because of we are using canvas clipping in ShapeImageView. You can make quick fix by setting android:layerType="software". But if you using CardView you will have some artifacts with shadows.
I tried using android:layerType="software" and it seems to work correctly, thanks! (But I suppose if will affect performances.)
Same here on Samsung Galaxy S8. Unfortunately using android:layerType="software" is horrible for performance.
Having here a similar problem using Chatkit 0.3.3 and Picasso 2.71828, but instead of the black background, my images show as squares instead of rounded (so no ugly black background)
Also distant images, sometimes i can see both types in the same conversation
Tested on Android 7 / Xperia Z5 Compact
Software layering fixes it, and it seems to work well on a more recent device (Xperia XZ1 Compact / Android 9)
Is there any plan to fix that ?
I have the same problem on Android 5.0, Android 6.0, Android 8.0 on these platforms I get a square icon where the corners under the rounding are black, I use androidx with legacy-support-v4: 1.0.0. Is this a bug? How can I solve? I have already tried with android:layerType="software" but it doesn't work. Thanks in advance!
