Maximum width and height for ImageView in Android

Question

So I have an ImageView set with

android:maxHeight="100px"
android:maxWidth="250px"
android:minHeight="100px"
android:minWidth="250px"
android:scaleType="centerInside"

This image view is used to show a picture that is obtained from the gallery or camera. In both cases, the image is not resized to fit inside the imageview, it just stretches its space as much as it needs.

Any idea how to make it stay inside those bounds?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Answer 1

Try the adjustViewBounds attribute:

android:adjustViewBounds="true"

Answer 2

you have both layout_width and layout_height set to wrap_content, in addition to setting explicit values for width and height. Instead, you should just set layout_width and layout_height to some number value. Also, use dp instead of px. See supporting multiple screen sizes.

Answer 3

have you tried android:scaleType="fitCenter"? Also the dimensions of the view should not be set to wrap_content as pointed out by Mayra

Answer 4

Try including this: xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" Example :

<ImageView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@+id/imageView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:maxHeight="400dp"
    android:adjustViewBounds="true"
    android:focusable="true"
    android:focusableInTouchMode="true"
    android:src="@drawable/background_img"
    />
