Question

I’m a starter Android learner and I think that this is a very easy question but I can’t find it anywhere. I have added an ImageView like this:

//....
            iv = new ImageView(context);
            iv.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(drawable));
            iv.setAdjustViewBounds(true);

            RelativeLayout.LayoutParams imajpara=new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,RelativeLayout.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
            iv.setMaxWidth(100);        
            iv.setMaxHeight(100);
            iv.setLayoutParams(imajpara);           
            iv.setScaleType(ScaleType.CENTER_INSIDE);
//....

But the ImageView (a ball picture in this case) fits the entire screen, even though the image (.png) is 100×100 pixels. In the code you see my attempts to fix this but none of them worked. The imageview is in a RelativeLayout.

So how can I make the ImageView resize itself according to the image’s dimensions?

Use setImageDrawable() instead of setBackground().
