Android fit image to imageview without preserving aspect ratio

Question

I want to fit image to android imageview without preserving the aspect ratio. I.e. I want the image to resize to imageview's size. I know that I can use the image as a background of the imageview to achieve the purpose. But is there any way I can use it as a foreground image of the imageview and fitting it to its dimension?

I have seen various answers and all of them suggest the other thing(image view fitting to the image size).I want to do it via xml.

Answer 1

Of course, you have tried

android:scaleType="fitXY"

I suppose...

Developer - Scale Type

This would scale in both directions (X, Y) independently (by using the FILL algorhithm, which is - more or less, the same as what it does when setting a background).
