Android resize bitmap keeping aspect ratio


I have a custom view (1066 x 738), and I am passing a bitmap image (720x343). I want to scale the bitmap to fit in the custom view without exceeding the bound of the parent.

I want to achieve something like this:

How should I calculate the bitmap size?

How I calculate the new width/height:

    public static Bitmap getScaledBitmap(Bitmap b, int reqWidth, int reqHeight)
    {
        int bWidth = b.getWidth();
        int bHeight = b.getHeight();

        int nWidth = reqWidth;
        int nHeight = reqHeight;

        float parentRatio = (float) reqHeight / reqWidth;

        nHeight = bHeight;
        nWidth = (int) (reqWidth * parentRatio);

        return Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(b, nWidth, nHeight, true);
    }

But all I am achieving is this:

Solution

  • You should try using a transformation matrix built for ScaleToFit.CENTER. For example:

    Matrix m = new Matrix();
    m.setRectToRect(new RectF(0, 0, b.getWidth(), b.getHeight()), new RectF(0, 0, reqWidth, reqHeight), Matrix.ScaleToFit.CENTER);
    return Bitmap.createBitmap(b, 0, 0, b.getWidth(), b.getHeight(), m, true);
