To set a circular background colour behind a CircularImageView you can use

As we can see void setColorFilter (int colour,PorterDuff.Mode mode) need two parameters a colour and Porter-Duff mode to be the colour filter for a drawable. This function actually combines images as per the user’s requirements.

 

The color is the background colour we want and Porter-Duff.mode defines the way of combining images.

 

For the first parameter, if you want to generate a random colour you can use the below code segment

 

And for the second parameter, there are several Porter-Duff.mode which can be used for combining images like DST_ATOP, SRC_ATOP, DST_IN, DST_OUT etc. The image below provide good understanding of some of the modes
