Android ImageView size not scaling with source image

Question

I have a few ImageViews inside a LinearLayout. I need to scale down the ImageViews so that they maintain their aspect ratios whilst fitting inside the LinearLayout vertical

Answer 1

Yes, my solution for this, was:

android:scaleType="fitXY"

Answer 2

Strangely android:layout_height="fill_parent" and android:adjustViewBounds="true" didn't help. The problem I had is image was getting displayed, but with block row on top and black row on bottom of image. Setting scale type to "centerCrop" helped me. I guess, the reason being my image size was small.

Answer 3

What about changing your ImageViews to use android:layout_height="fill_parent"?

Edit - took me a while to find, but looking at the source helped me pinpoint adjustViewBounds. You might want to try adding android:adjustViewBounds="true" to your ImageViews. Surprisingly, this defaults to false.

Answer 4

I had similar problem and my solution was to set android:scaleType="fitEnd" attribute of ImageView in XML layout file.
