Fixed aspect ratio View

Question

How would I go implementing a fixed aspect ratio View? I\'d like to have items with 1:1 aspect ratio in a GridView. I think it\'s better to subclas

Answer 1

For new users, here's a better non-code solution :

A new support library called Percent Support Library is available in Android SDK v22 (MinAPI is 7 me thinks, not sure) :

src : android-developers.blogspot.in

The Percent Support Library provides percentage based dimensions and margins and, new to this release, the ability to set a custom aspect ratio via app:aspectRatio. By setting only a single width or height and using aspectRatio, the PercentFrameLayout or PercentRelativeLayout will automatically adjust the other dimension so that the layout uses a set aspect ratio.

To include add this to your build.gradle :

compile 'com.android.support:percent:23.1.1'

Now wrap your view (the one that needs to be square) with a PercentRelativeLayout / PercentFrameLayout :

You can see an example here.
