How to set an image in the background of custom view

How can one set image from uri to the background of custom view without causing the stackoverflow error. As I couldn't find any appropriate answers, I hope to find it here.

Solution
    1. Get that image via Picasso / Glide libraries as a Bitmap

    2. Convert Bitmap to drawable

      Drawable drawable = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), bitmap);

    3. Set drawable to your custom view

      yourCustomView.setBackground(drawable);
