Use regular RevealFrameLayout & RevealLinearLayout don't worry, only target will be clipped :)
<io.codetail.widget.RevealFrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <!-- Put more views here if you want, it's stock frame layout --> <android.support.v7.widget.CardView xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto" android:id="@+id/awesome_card" style="@style/CardView" app:cardBackgroundColor="@color/material_deep_teal_500" app:cardElevation="2dp" app:cardPreventCornerOverlap="false" app:cardUseCompatPadding="true" android:layout_marginLeft="8dp" android:layout_marginRight="8dp" android:layout_marginTop="8dp" android:layout_width="300dp" android:layout_height="300dp" android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" /> </io.codetail.widget.RevealFrameLayout> View myView = findView(R.id.awesome_card); // get the center for the clipping circle int cx = (myView.getLeft() + myView.getRight()) / 2; int cy = (myView.getTop() + myView.getBottom()) / 2; // get the final radius for the clipping circle int dx = Math.max(cx, myView.getWidth() - cx); int dy = Math.max(cy, myView.getHeight() - cy); float finalRadius = (float) Math.hypot(dx, dy); // Android native animator Animator animator = ViewAnimationUtils.createCircularReveal(myView, cx, cy, 0, finalRadius); animator.setInterpolator(new AccelerateDecelerateInterpolator()); animator.setDuration(1500); animator.start();This library is not released in Maven Central, but instead you can use JitPack
