How to dynamically change ImageView Height

Question

I have a simple linear layout used for ListView\'s cell, and it has an imageview. The image will be downloaded from internet, so the size can be different sizes.

How

Answer 1

You will need to subclass ImageView

Override the onMeasure, I haven't tested this but all the variables you need are there and the idea is correct. You just perform the apply the aspect ratio of the image to the imageviews height, and if it's greater than the width, set it to the width.

@Override
protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)
{
    Drawable drawable = getDrawable();
    if (drawable != null)
    {
        //get imageview width
        int width =  MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);


        int diw = drawable.getIntrinsicWidth();
        int dih = drawable.getIntrinsicHeight();
        float ratio = (float)diw/dih; //get image aspect ratio

        int height = width * ratio;

        //don't let height exceed width
        if (height > width){
            height = width;
        }


        setMeasuredDimension(width, height);    
    }
    else
        super.onMeasure(widthMeasureSpec, heightMeasureSpec);

}

The place where you are loading the imageView in the code from the url, you have to set the layout parameters of the ImageView over there. It will change the dimensions of the image dynamically.

After loading the image find the dimensions and calculate the ratio and change the dimensions according to the condition you want to apply.

    LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams  = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(width,height);
    imageView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);
    //set other properties of the imageview according to your condition
