I am having this simple layout for chat bubble.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/bubble_layout_chat_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/bubble_layout_chat"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/message_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/message_text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="@android:color/primary_text_light"
android:layout_gravity="top"
android:textSize="16sp"/>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/message_time"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:textColor="#999"
android:textSize="10sp"
android:textStyle="italic"
android:textColorHint="@color/grey"
android:layout_gravity="bottom|end"/>
</LinearLayout>
However, when I set image it leaves unwanted margins above and below the image.
How can I remove margins and make the bubble to fit image?
(Note: What I observed is the margins appears only when image width is larger than height. For images having width much smaller than height no margins observed)
Thanks for everyone's comments. Setting android:adjustViewBounds="true"
to ImageView
fixed my problem. So my working ImageView
now looks like:
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/message_image"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:adjustViewBounds="true"/>
