Resize ImageView programmatically

I'm working with an ImageView and I want to resize it programmatically passing (for example) from a full-screen ImageView to a 50x50. Is there a way to do that?
Different from the one you suggested me to see because I don't need to fit the image in the ImageView but to resize the dimension of the ImageView.

My suggestion use a relative layout and put image inside that has with weight and able to auto resize which depends on the weight. The best way to auto resize even your screen rotates.
I didn't remember which one layout has weight format

You can use LayoutParams to set height width programmatically -
ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams = imageView.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.width = 30;
layoutParams.height = 30;
imageView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

ConstraintLayout provides a mechanism for fixing the aspect ratio of a child view. Select the child view that we want to control, and then set the ratio value, we can manually put the ratio that we want to set.
Using constraintLayout makes UI shrink or expand according to screen size without distorting the UI. This is the most important advantage of using ConstraintLayout in UI.

Size and position of GLSurfaceView

Actually I have project in which I'm using GLSurfaceView. At this moment this component is placed as main control on whole screen. In this configuration I'm able proper handling drawing functionality.
In next step I want to change size and position of GLSurfaceView. I want to place it in the center of the screen and set width and hight to exact phicical dimmension for example 20mm x 20mm.
Do you have any advices or hints how should I start to introduce this kind of changes to GLSurfaceView?

I want to place it in the center of the screen
You need to set gravity to the parent element like Gravity.CENTER. For example if it's LinearLayout then call linearLayout.setGravity(Gravity.CENTER).
Set width and hight to exact phicical dimmension for example 20mm x
20mm
To calculate size from mm to pixels use:
float mmInPx = TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_MM, 20,
getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
And to set size for GLSurfaceView use LayoutParams:
ViewGroup.LayoutParams layoutParams=glSurfaceView.getLayoutParams();
layoutParams.width=mmInPx;
layoutParams.height=mmInPx;
glSurfaceView.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

Image with fixed size in procents on Android

I have a bunch of images with different sizes. Each of them should be presented on the top part of the screen and must take the space in height equal to 60% of screen height. Width of the image will be dependent on it's height to save initial proportions. I tried to use weightsum property in layout and weight property in ImageView, but I don't know what to put in the height property of my image view. If it is "wrap_content", every image resizes my ImageView and all mark-up crushes.
Any advices?

If you want, you can set the image's dimensions by code.
Just set the width with the weight_sum method and then do something like:
WindowManager manager = (WindowManager) context.getSystemService(Activity.WINDOW_SERVICE);
int screenHeight = manager.getDefaultDisplay().getHeight();
YOUR_VIEW.getLayoutParams().height = (int) (screenWidth * 0.6);
Please mind that you can do so only AFTER your ImageView has been drawn on screen - so calling it within the onCreate() method will not work.
You can either call it delayed (postDelayed) or set a layout listener to one of your view.
Hope this helps.

How to make my android component as size dependent for various display screen sizes?

I am making an android component which allows user to pick date from it. It can be helpful for developer who wants user to select date in his app. In my basic view, I have TextView where date from pop up will be populated into it and I have a button beside TextView. When a User clicks on the button, my component gets popped out and displays Dates. The component gets pops out in a Popup window and shows dates as month view and user also can switch from next-previous months, next-previous years just like we do in Calendar. Check the Image.
http://s15.postimage.org/ujw8py60b/stackoverflow.jpg (Sorry, I couldn't upload an image here because I am not allowed as I am new User here)
Each date is a TextView with the width of 35 and height as 30 set by me. DaysDisplayBar is also of some size set by me. So this component's whole width is 245 and height is around 200. Which is for mobile screen size.
I want to make this component as size dependent for various screen display sizes. For e.g. If it is being viewed on Tablet or Pad, it should be bigger in size than what its size on mobile phone screen. That is, For various displays its size should be changed to some value like max 1/3 of display size or like that something.
What can be the solution for this? According to me, some mathematics is needed here, some formula, equations etc. how about Parabola? Please help, I am dumb in maths totally. Thanks! :D

"Each date is a TextView with the width of 35 and height as 30 set by me. DaysDisplayBar is also of some size set by me. So this component's whole width is 245 and height is around 200. Which is for mobile screen size."
^^ is the problem. Sizes should be defined relative to the layout, not absolute. For example, the calendar has 7 columns (one for each day). Instead of making each one 35px, make each 1/7th of the screen.
SO:
I am assuming a DaysDisplayBar is a row containing 7 TextViews (one for each day). If that is true, why not call it a Week? Either way, The trick is in layout_wieght. Make all elements fill_parent, and all with the same weight of 1. This will evenly distrubate all elements in the parent. In your case, the parent is a DaysDisplayBar.
SO:
set DaysDisplayBar attribute `layout_width="fill_parent"
For each TextViewset attribute layout_width="fill_parent" ANDlayout_weight="1"`
hope that helps!

First of all, make sure you use density pixels (dip) instead of pixels.
Second, you can get the screen width and height, and from there, calculate your component size.
You can get the screen dimensions using the Display class getSize() method:
WindowManager wm = (WindowManager) getSystemService(WINDOW_SERVICE);
Display display = wm.getDefaultDisplay();
Point screenSize = new Point();
display.getSize(screenSize);
int screenWith = screenSize.x;
Or you can get the parent view dimensions:
MarginLayoutParams params = (MarginLayoutParams)parentView.getLayoutParams();
int padding = parentView.getPaddingLeft() + parentView.getPaddingRight();
int margin = params.leftMargin + params.rightMargin;
int measuredWidth = parentView.getMeasuredWidth() - padding - margin;
That way you know how much space you have inside the parent view element for your component.
Remember to convert any hard coded value to dip, you can do it this way:
public static int getDensitySize(float size) {
float density = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
return (int)(density * size);
}
You do all of this from your onMeasure method to set your view size, and later on the onDraw you'll use this measure to draw your component.

scaling/formatting multiple imagebutton array in Android

So I have this task to create a horizontal scrolling array of image buttons that are basically photo avatars of users. These avatars aren't constrained by aspect ratio or size, and so I've been playing with ways to scale them and format them. I've gotten them scaling via the scaletype="fitCenter" and using static width and height. But what I really want them to do is to butt up against one another. Currently if an image is taller than it is high, you get the kind of letterboxing but on the sides vs. the top (blank areas). I've tried all the different scaling values, wrapping each imagemap within a linearlayout, etc., but nothing I try seems to get rid of those (while displaying the entire image to scale). Is there any way to do this?

Just to reiterate what I think you're doing, you have three image scenarios:
Square image
Landscape image (wider than tall)
Portrait image (taller than wide)
Laying out a row of fixed-size ImageViews (or ImageButtons) using FIT_CENTER works great for what you need if all the images were either square or landscape, because the scaling will always make the image stretch to the horizontal bounds of the view (the largest dimension). However, with portrait images, the scaling causes the view to be inside the bounds of your fixed-size view so that the entire image height can be visible.
If you need to maintain the aspect ratio of the image, there really is no ScaleType to help with this because the logic would be circular (fit the view to the image, while simultaneously fitting the image to the view). The solution is to adjust the size (specifically, the width) of each ImageView to match what the image will be scaled to. Here's a sample of a factory method you might use to generate the ImageView to fit the image you want to put inside it. You could also modify this slightly to reset parameters on an existing ImageView if you like:
private ImageView getImageViewForThumbnail(Bitmap thumbnail) {
float viewHeight = //Your chosen fixed view height
float scale = ((float)thumbnail.getHeight()) / viewHeight;
float viewWidth = thumbnail.getHeight() / scale;
ImageView view = new ImageView(this);
LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams((int)viewWidth, (int)viewHeight);
view.setLayoutParams(params);
view.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);
view.setImageBitmap(thumbnail);
return view;
}
You're basically just calculating what the aspect width of the ImageView should be to match the fixed height you've chosen for all of them.
HTH

Use the scaleType fitXY, it stretches the image to the layout params you assigned, if the image has less dimensions and also shrinks the image to the layout params you assigned, if the image is large. The key point is to mention the image layout params to the imageView , that is the width and height of the image.
