Question 1

How to add a curved bottom to an ImageView in Android?

Accepted Answer

Use CrescentoImageView in your XML layout with the curvature attribute set to a value like 50dp, and optionally set gravity to bottom for top curves. It integrates like a standard ImageView but adds the curve automatically.

Question 2

Crescento vs custom drawable for curves: which is better?

Accepted Answer

Crescento is faster for simple curves with XML attributes, but custom drawables offer more flexibility for complex shapes. Choose Crescento for quick setups, but for advanced effects, writing custom code might be necessary.

Question 3

How to change gradient direction in Crescento?

Accepted Answer

Use the gradientDirection attribute with values like TOP_TO_BOTTOM or LEFT_TO_RIGHT in XML, as listed in the README, to control overlay gradients on CrescentoImageView.

Question 4

Is Crescento compatible with Jetpack Compose?

Accepted Answer

No, Crescento is designed for traditional View-based XML layouts and does not support Jetpack Compose. For Compose, you'd need to implement curves using Canvas or other Compose APIs.

Question 5

Can I use Crescento with image loading libraries like Glide?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since CrescentoImageView extends standard ImageView, you can use it with Glide or Picasso by setting the image source programmatically, and tint or gradients will apply as configured.

Question 6

What Android versions does Crescento support?

Accepted Answer

It supports API level 11 and above, as indicated by the badge in the README, making it compatible with most older and newer Android devices.
