Answer 1

Either you use px instead of dp or multiply all dimensions by 10.

I'm ashamed to admit that I don't exactly know WHY this is happening but my guess is that it has something to do with densities where 1dp is a floating px value and the ImageView is scaled up.

Expert answer is welcomed :)
