the imageview takes extra [black] space and i dont know why
ok this imageview should wrap content but instead..
photo explains the problem
this is the code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/map"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/map" /><ImageView
android:id="#+id/blxx"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:paddingBottom="-20dp"
android:src="#drawable/photo" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/blxx"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/blxx" />
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
Try the below:
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
This will remove the extra padded space
first possible reason for your problem:
sometimes when the image is too small, it can't scratch anymore then some limit. after that limit - what happens is what you see - blank space claimed by the imageView where additional scratch of the image was expected. I advice you to take larger picture (with bigger resolution)
Second possible reason:
add to your imageView properties on the xml file the following attribute:
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:layout_gravity="center"
Above line is centering the image to fit inside your ImageView. Try without it. If not, set gravity to "fill" and try again.
Also remove one of the duplicates of blxx as noted.
hope this ll help you

I'm trying to use some portions of my previous project in my new project but I have encountered with a strange problem. My new project renders the same layout differently from the previous project. Here is the layout.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/id1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/image"
/>
</FrameLayout>
And here are the two different results:
Layouts are 100% same but in the first one, ImageView holds a larger space than the image. In the second one, ImageView wraps the image, no extra space around the image. I want to use second one but what am I missing?
Target sdk, min sdk etc. are all the same.
Thanks in advance.
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:paddingRight="50dp"
android:paddingLeft="50dp">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/id1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:src="#drawable/image"
/>
</FrameLayout>
You may want to try this code above. Adjust the paddings as you want!
Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/id1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center"
android:src="#drawable/image"/>
</FrameLayout>
On landscape mode my background image stretches, I would like the image to enlarge rather than stretch to fit the size. From what I've seen I have to add it to it's own layout (E.g. LinearLayout) or 'ImageView` and the have a layout for the content on the view, am I correct in saying this?
My current xml layout looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/instructions"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#drawable/photo_background"
android:tag="layout" >
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scroll_view"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:fadingEdge="none" >
<include layout="#layout/instructions_internal" />
</ScrollView>
Which includes the following layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/scroll_frame"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/instructionsLayout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#color/transparent_black" >
<RelativeLayout
android:id="#+id/more_info"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
<WebView
android:id="#+id/top_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/test"
android:layout_width="300dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/top_content"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
android:onClick="onClickHandler" />
<Button
android:id="#+id/instructionsbutton"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_below="#+id/test"
android:background="#color/dark_gray"
android:drawableLeft="#drawable/arrow_down_float"
android:gravity="left|center"
android:onClick="onMoreInstructions"
android:paddingBottom="5dp"
android:paddingTop="5dp"
android:text="#string/more_instructions_start"
android:textColor="#color/solid_white" />
</RelativeLayout>
<WebView
android:id="#+id/bottom_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
android:layout_below="#+id/more_info"
android:layout_marginTop="10dp" />
</RelativeLayout>
Any guidance on this would be gladly appreciated. Thanks
Yes you're correct. View's background scaling type is equivalent to ImageView's ScaleType.FIT_XY It will mess up the aspect ratio unless you're using wrap_content and the contents do not make it stretch past background bounds.
So in this situation I usually use an ImageView I place behind the view I need to give a properly-scaled background to. (Most likely yo're looking for CENTER_CROP scale type)
UPD here's some code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/instructions"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:tag="layout" >
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:src="#drawable/photo_background"
android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
<ScrollView
android:id="#+id/scroll_view"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:fadingEdge="none" >
<include layout="#layout/instructions_internal" />
</ScrollView>
</FrameLayout>
use an image that matches or in accordance with the android device resolution and screen size.
the image cannot itself enlarge itself, even if you use a linear layout dedicatedly for the image, the image is bound to stretch.
keep images of all possible resolutions in separate folders that you plan to run you application on.
I'm currently trying to build a simple Contacs Card myself. I just want a Profile picture on the top left, about a quarter to a third of the width, and the Name + description on the right side.
No matter what i try, it always looks very similar to the screenshot below.
this is my Layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:padding="#dimen/activity_standard_padding"
android:clipToPadding="false"
android:scrollbarStyle="outsideOverlay"
style="#style/AppBaseThemeCardBG">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
style="#style/nowCardStyle">
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="top"
android:paddingRight="#dimen/activity_horizontal_margin">
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/schuckCard"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="3"
android:orientation="vertical">
<com.mikebdev.douala.widget.RobotoTextView
android:id="#+id/schuckHeader"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:typeface="roboto_condensed_light"
android:text="JESCO SCHUCK"
android:textSize="#dimen/textSizeVeryLarge" />
<com.mikebdev.douala.widget.RobotoTextView
android:id="#+id/body1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
app:typeface="roboto_condensed_light"
android:text="Description" />
</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>
This is how it looks like:
I'd like the image to be approximately as wide as the description in the action bar. Obviously i brutally failed here
Use different values for the layout weights. Like 4 for the image and 6 for the content to give it 40‰ of the cards width
Consider using cardslib ( https://github.com/gabrielemariotti/cardslib) to do your card layout. It is very well put together.
Got my stupid Problem fixed:
In the ImageView I have declared android:scaleType="fitCenter" which apparently also centers the ImageView in my Layout.
When changing the scaleType to fitStart I get the result I wanted.
Setting a photo to an ImageView does not work as i expect. It does not fill the width completely.
This is my code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="#+id/linearLayout1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#android:color/black"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<com.android.volley.toolbox.NetworkImageView
android:id="#+id/imageCell"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:layout_margin="5dp"
android:src="#drawable/unnamed" />
</LinearLayout>
I tried with android:layout_width="wrap_content" and still no change.
The first image is not shown completelly. The second one is in portraid mode and it's ok.
Thank you.
try setting
android:scaleType="fitXY"
to your imageView
I have this 9-patch picture "Imageview3"
I want to add in my activity. I want the red arms to matchs perfecty with the borders of the screen.
But when I do SCALE:fitXy here is what I obtain
so as you can seem it doesn't work, I tried all the scales, I tried to stretch the image but it never fits.
Here is my code
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView2"
android:layout_width="324dp"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
android:paddingTop="150dp"
android:paddingRight="0dp"
android:src="#drawable/diviseur" />
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/imageView3"
android:layout_width="407dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:scaleType="fitXY"
android:src="#drawable/a1"
android:visibility="visible" />
</FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
thanks for the help
Remove android:scaleType="fitXY" and keep android:layout_width="match_parent". Try it.
Make sure your actual image doesn't have a white border around it. As in, make sure the arms are at the very end of your image.
Instead of using android:src="#drawable/diviseur", try using android:background="#drawable/diviseur". And also consider using android:layout_weight="1" attribute.
Try this
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" >
<ImageView
android:id="#+id/banner"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:scaleType="fitCenter"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"
android:src="#drawable/foo"
/>
