Splashscreen image fullsize aspect ratio - android

I have problem with setting image to full width and full height with right aspect ratio. I have this piece of code and don't now how to solve it, if it's possible.
Thank you
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:gravity="fill">
<item>
<bitmap android:gravity="center|fill_vertical" android:src="#drawable/background" />
</item>
</layer-list>

Why are you using layer-list? You could use a RelativeLayout and use the following settings within the RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/your_background_image"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
This android:background will put a background image (don't forget to replace this with your own image) and the rest options will make a full size background.

How to set background image to shape?

I have a shape. I am using a random color to fill the shape.
I have an image which needs to be set for the background of this shape. (I am just thinking it should be background. May be I am using wrong words. )
Result should be something like this (note the image at the background).
I recommend you that library which you can custom corners , shape and other things and then you can put your image view inside it and then you'll have your view
here is the link
https://github.com/florent37/ShapeOfView
You can set src of your image view to those white things you have, then you will have your shape as background and this pattern on it as well.
use android:src
If you want to show an image within a shape, Try this,
shape.xml
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<solid android:color="#color/colorPrimaryDark"/>
<corners android:bottomLeftRadius="56dp"/>
</shape>
Now set the shape for a layout, then add the image that you want in image view then adjust the alpha value to show both shape and image,
layout.xml
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="120dp"
android:background="#drawable/shape">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/blue_image"
android:alpha=".2"/>
</RelativeLayout>
Output will be like this
Hope this will help.
I came across with this library. RoundedImageView Github link
All I needed to do was:
<com.makeramen.roundedimageview.RoundedImageView
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="200dp"
android:src="#drawable/add_card_head_bg"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
app:riv_corner_radius="90dip"
app:riv_mutate_background="true"
app:riv_corner_radius_bottom_left="50dp"/>

Using Ratio Keylines in xml

Im trying to align my layouts as shown in the Metrics and Keylines webpage for Material Design,
http://www.google.com/design/spec/layout/metrics-and-keylines.html#metrics-and-keylines-ratio-keylines
Having trouble figuring out how to apply this to my layouts, how can I do this in xml? Thanks for any help
If you don't have an image to use with the desired aspect ratio (or one is not needed), you could use a placeholder. For instance, I created a shape drawable with dimensions 16px by 9px and used it to adjust the bounds of a relative layout:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:src="#drawable/ratio16x9"/>
</RelativeLayout>
ratio16x9.xml:
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<size android:width="16px" android:height="9px"/>
</shape>

Resize ImageView background accordingly to Image size

I am trying to have the background of the image re-size accordingly to the Image size
I have a simple ImageView
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:background="#drawable/white_bg"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:padding="3dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
The white_bg is an xml drawable
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<solid android:color="#android:color/white" />
<corners android:radius="5dp" />
</shape>
The Problem is that there are large white spaces between the image and the background.
The only thing appeared to solve the problem was setting the `ScaleType' attribute to FitXY but it stretches small images and they turn to be ugly.
I have also tried adding a LinearLayout parent to the ImageView with `wrap_content' width and height attributes but there were still large white spaces with some of the images.
Try this
ImageView.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
not sure but it helps you

Drawing tiled bitmap with bottom alignment

I want to draw an image with gradient background. I've created a drawable bitmap resource like below
<bitmap xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:src="#drawable/bg"
android:tileMode="repeat"
android:gravity="bottom"
/>
As you know, gravity is ignored when tileMode is defined. I tried creating my own class which is inherited from BitmapDrawable, but I couldn't achieve success with that.
Please help me to apply both properties: tileMode and gravity.
I did not understand the question clearly. What is the goal here?
Is it using a gradient image (like .png .jpg) with tileMode?
Or is it using a transparent icon and making it's background gradient?
Also why would you need gravity when you are using tileMode? tileMode means tile the whole area of bitmap with the same image. Since it will do it to the whole image no point giving gravity on that image since all of it will be filled.
If the goal is to use this drawable bitmap in the some part of the screen add this to your layout:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/mydrawablebitmap"
android:id="#+id/imageview1" />
You can put it to your layout.xml and set your own width and height and align whichever you like.
If the goal is using an image and making its background here is how you go with it:
Create a gradient.xml in your drawable folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<shape xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:shape="rectangle">
<gradient
android:startColor="#E0E0E0"
android:endColor="#FFFFFF"
android:angle="-90"/>
</shape>
Then add this imageview to your layout:
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/myimagewithgradientbackground"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="160dp"
android:background="#drawable/gradient"
android:src="#drawable/foregroundimage" />
If you give me some more details about the question I'll go ahead and edit my answer accordingly.

Android: NinePatch and LayerList

So I'm trying to overlay a map image with a transparent ninepatch Drawable using layer-list. Like this:
target http://f.cl.ly/items/2b1x3c3o0w3t1z0b2o2s/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-20%20at%2010.34.18%20AM.png
But all I get is this (notice that the map image is cropped by the edges of the ninepatch, even though it is supposed to be transparent):
problem http://f.cl.ly/items/380j3E2w452Y2D2d1K0a/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-20%20at%2010.29.45%20AM.png
Here's my layer-list code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >
<item>
<nine-patch android:src="#drawable/myninepatch" />
</item>
<item android:drawable="#drawable/detail_map"/>
</layer-list>
and here's my layout ImageView:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="298dp"
android:layout_height="106dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginBottom="11dp"
android:src="#drawable/detail_map_overlay" />
Edit: Here's the ninepatch .png:
ninepatch http://f.cl.ly/items/0X3N0d331Q15380D093n/myninepatch.9.png
Any ideas how to achieve this? Not necessarily using ninepatch but I want to make it stretchable depending on the size of the image. Or if you have an idea how to do inner glow, that would be swell too.
To recap the comments and make it more clear for further reading
You 9 patch is not valid:
the top and left part only define the stretchable area.
the bottom and right, the position of the content.
With your example, it will do something like this(based on your but without the useless parts):
Then set it as background of your ImageView:
<ImageView
android:layout_width="298dp"
android:layout_height="106dp"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_marginBottom="11dp"
android:src="#drawable/detail_map"
android:background="#drawable/myninepatch">
</ImageView>
Like this you can get rid of the Layer List
