ImageView adjustViewBounds not working

Question

I have an ImageView with android:layout_width=100dp, android:layout_height=wrap_content and android:adjustViewBounds=true

It\'

Answer 1

I had a similar requirement; in my case, I wanted the image to be square, and wanted the ImageView to match the aspect ratio so I could use its background and padding to draw a border.

I read the answers here but instead of overriding ImageView, I decided to make a Layout that guarantees its contents (should be only one view) are square. That way I could use a standard ImageView inside it. (And you never know, I might want to make something else square later. Although probably not.)

In case it's useful for anyone else, here's the code (feel free to copy). There are probably bugs as I just made it work for my app then stopped. :)

public class SquareLayout extends ViewGroup
{
    public SquareLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle)
    {
        super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    }

    public SquareLayout(Context context, AttributeSet attrs)
    {
        super(context, attrs);
    }

    public SquareLayout(Context context)
    {
        super(context);
    }

    @Override
    protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b)
    {
        // Work out width and height, and square size.
        int width = r - l;
        int height = b - t;

        int size, xOffset, yOffset;
        if(width < height)
        {
            size = width;
            xOffset = 0;
            yOffset = (height - size) / 2;
        }
        else
        {
            size = height;
            xOffset = (width - size) / 2;
            yOffset = 0;
        }

        for(int i = 0; i < getChildCount(); i++)
        {
            View child = getChildAt(i);
            child.layout(xOffset, yOffset, size + xOffset, size + yOffset);
        }
    }

    @Override
    protected void onMeasure(int widthMeasureSpec, int heightMeasureSpec)
    {
        // Get width and height.
        int w = -1, h = -1;
        switch(MeasureSpec.getMode(widthMeasureSpec))
        {
        case MeasureSpec.AT_MOST:
        case MeasureSpec.EXACTLY:
            w = MeasureSpec.getSize(widthMeasureSpec);
            break;

        case MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED:
            break;
        }
        switch(MeasureSpec.getMode(heightMeasureSpec))
        {
        case MeasureSpec.AT_MOST:
        case MeasureSpec.EXACTLY:
            h = MeasureSpec.getSize(heightMeasureSpec);
            break;

        case MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED:
            break;
        }

        // If only one of width/height is unspecified, set them both the same.
        if(w == -1 && h != -1)
        {
            w = h;
        }
        else if(h == -1 && w != -1)
        {
            h = w;
        }

        // Either they're both specified or both unspecified.
        int childMeasureSpec;
        if(w == -1)
        {
            childMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(0, MeasureSpec.UNSPECIFIED);
        }
        else
        {
            childMeasureSpec = MeasureSpec.makeMeasureSpec(w, MeasureSpec.EXACTLY);
        }

        // Pass through to children.
        int maxDimension = 1;
        for(int i = 0; i < getChildCount(); i++)
        {
            View child = getChildAt(i);
            child.measure(childMeasureSpec, childMeasureSpec);
            maxDimension = Math.max(maxDimension, child.getMeasuredWidth());
            maxDimension = Math.max(maxDimension, child.getMeasuredHeight());
        }

        if(w == -1)
        {
            w = maxDimension;
            h = maxDimension;
        }

        setMeasuredDimension(w, h);
    }
