Image Matching:

The code: One final note: the code assumes ImageViews are under a LinearLayout. If not, change to appropriate layout. You could also give the layout as a parameter.
private void scaleImage(ImageView view, int boundBoxInDp) { // Get the ImageView and its bitmap Drawable drawing = view.getDrawable(); Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable)drawing).getBitmap(); // Get current dimensions int width = bitmap.getWidth(); int height = bitmap.getHeight(); // Determine how much to scale: the dimension requiring less scaling is // closer to the its side. This way the image always stays inside your // bounding box AND either x/y axis touches it. float xScale = ((float) boundBoxInDp) / width; float yScale = ((float) boundBoxInDp) / height; float scale = (xScale <= yScale) ? xScale : yScale; // Create a matrix for the scaling and add the scaling data Matrix matrix = new Matrix(); matrix.postScale(scale, scale); // Create a new bitmap and convert it to a format understood by the ImageView Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, width, height, matrix, true); BitmapDrawable result = new BitmapDrawable(scaledBitmap); width = scaledBitmap.getWidth(); height = scaledBitmap.getHeight(); // Apply the scaled bitmap view.setImageDrawable(result); // Now change ImageView's dimensions to match the scaled image LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = (LinearLayout.LayoutParams) view.getLayoutParams(); params.width = width; params.height = height; view.setLayoutParams(params); } private int dpToPx(int dp) { float density = getApplicationContext().getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density; return Math.round((float)dp * density); }

(the code tuned a little bit from the StackOverflow version) And sample code for testing and faster adoptation:
public class TestActivity extends Activity { @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.test); // ImageViews must be under LinearLayout in the xml or the code crashes into scaleImage(). Tune scaleImage() into your needs. ImageView view1 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.test1); ImageView view2 = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.test2); scaleImage(view1, 250); // in dp scaleImage(view2, 100); // in dp } }
