first create simple border.xml and save in to drawable 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
 <item>
 <shape android:shape="rectangle" >
 <corners android:radius="15dip" />
 <solid android:color="#00000000" />
<stroke android:width="2dp" android:color="#000000"/>
</shape>
</item>
</layer-list>

then after set background of Linear/Relative layout

android:background="@drawable/imageee_color"

You can make a 9-patch image as apply it as the background. Make the middle transparent and fill the border the way you want.

Here is the official documentation: http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/graphics/2d-graphics.html#nine-patch

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />
<stroke android:width="1dp" android:color="#000000" />
<padding android:left="1dp" android:top="1dp" android:right="1dp" android:bottom="1dp" /></shape>

Save this file in as customborder.xml in drawbale folder. In you layout file add this line android:background="@drawable/customborder"

What you can do is create an custom drawable shape that will apply as the background of ImageView which will create a border.

Something like below xml, you can customize it yourself. Put it in drawable/image_border.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

    <solid android:color="#FFFFFF" />

    <stroke
        android:width="1dp"
        android:color="#000000" />

    <padding
        android:bottom="1dp"
        android:left="1dp"
        android:right="1dp"
        android:top="1dp" />

</shape>

Apply it as ImageView's background. It should create a border for your ImageView.
