Changing the height of ImageView?

Question

I have an imageView below my first textView and a textView below that image. So I want to re-size the imageView to have a smaller height so that it would not take up more than half the screen. But so far when I try to change the height to either wrap_content or match_parent however it is just still the same size. I also tried setting a max height but does not seem to be doing anything.

My xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:background="@drawable/bg_gblue" >

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/faq_story1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:text="@string/faqpt1"
        android:textSize="15sp" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/faq_pic1"
        android:src="@drawable/skull"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="5dp"
        android:maxHeight="10dp"
        android:layout_above="@+id/faq_story2"
        android:layout_below="@+id/faq_story1"
        />

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/faq_story2"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentBottom="true"
        android:text="@string/faqpt2"/>"

</RelativeLayout> 

Thanks.
