Try this: This function resizes a bitmap proportionally. When the last parameter is set to "X" the newDimensionXorY is treated as s new width and when set to "Y" a new height.

public Bitmap getProportionalBitmap(Bitmap bitmap, 
                                    int newDimensionXorY, 
                                    String XorY) {
    if (bitmap == null) {
        return null;
    }

    float xyRatio = 0;
    int newWidth = 0;
    int newHeight = 0;

    if (XorY.toLowerCase().equals("x")) {
        xyRatio = (float) newDimensionXorY / bitmap.getWidth();
        newHeight = (int) (bitmap.getHeight() * xyRatio);
        bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(
            bitmap, newDimensionXorY, newHeight, true);
    } else if (XorY.toLowerCase().equals("y")) {
        xyRatio = (float) newDimensionXorY / bitmap.getHeight();
        newWidth = (int) (bitmap.getWidth() * xyRatio);
        bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(
            bitmap, newWidth, newDimensionXorY, true);
    }
    return bitmap;
}
