Question

I am getting an image from the Internet and I am showing the image on to the ImageView. Please let me know is there any way in which I can compress the image(to a particular size/dimension) and show it on the Imageview, as the image is user-uploaded image.
Thanks

You can use BitmapFactory.Options class to crop image to any size.

You can use following:

BitmapFactory.Options options = new BitmapFactory.Options();
options.inJustDecodeBounds = true;
options.inSampleSize = 8; // 1/8th of actual image.
BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.id.myimage, options);
int imageHeight = options.outHeight;
int imageWidth = options.outWidth;
String imageType = options.outMimeType;
