Question

I have the following rectangular image to be set in my application.

Now I am trying to expand the image with same ratio on both sides until it fits to the screen.But I cant get the expected image.

So far my code is :

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imgid"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:src="@drawable/shayneward"
    android:scaleType="fitXY"/>

It dont care that the image gets cut off, but it should expand on both sides with same ratio until it fits to the screen.

Answer 1

Change android:scaleType="fitXY" to android:scaleType="centerCrop" to get the behavior that you want.

The different scaling options are documented under ImageView.ScaleType.
