Issue on image size, while adding it programmatically

Question

I have a little (& bit tricky) problem and could not solve from many hours by myself. The problem scenario is:

I'm adding TextView s (i.e. Titles) and related (click-able) ImageView s programmatically (from database). The margin between them is already very large (I have not added any margin or padding betwwen them). I want to set margin to only 1dp. But I can't.

I used the following code:

LinearLayout linearLayout = (LinearLayout) this.findViewById(R.id.linearLayout);

//No params and margins used for it
TextView tvTitle = new TextView(this); // getting from json (dynamically)
tvTitle.setTextSize(17) ;
tvTitle.setText(title) ;
linearLayout.addView(tvTitle) ;

ImageView image = new ImageView(this) ;
// here getting the image from url

LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT) ;
params.setMargins(5, 0, 5, 0) ;
image.setLayoutParams( params );
linearLayout.addView(image) ;

As here topMargin and bottomMargin are 0 but when app runs; there is almost 20dp margins above and below the images.

When I increase the margin from 20dp i.e. When I replace any 0 to 30 or 40 then margin increases but when I decrease it up to 5 or 1 or 0 then it does not decrease. It remains near about 20 dp. Anyone having idea about it...

Sounds like the viewbounds on the ImageView are not getting adjusted correctly. Try settings this on your ImageView:

image.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
