How can I set an ImageView's width and height programmatically?

15
Footnote for anyone struggling with this coming from another platform. the "size and shape to fit" option is handled beautifully in Android; but it's hard to find. you typically want width match parent, height wrap content, adjustViewBounds turned on, scale fitToCenter and cropToPadding false. then it's automatic. I really hope it helps someone!Fattie

It may be too late but for the sake of others who have the same problem, to set the height of the ImageView:

imageView.getLayoutParams().height = 20;

Important. If you're setting the height after the layout has already been 'laid out', make sure you also call:

imageView.requestLayout();

If your image view is dynamic, the answer containing getLayout will fail with null-exception.

In that case the correct way is:

LinearLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(100, 100);
iv.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

This simple way to do your task:

setContentView(R.id.main);    
ImageView iv = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.left);
int width = 60;
int height = 60;
LinearLayout.LayoutParams parms = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(width,height);
iv.setLayoutParams(parms);

and another way if you want to give screen size in height and width then use below code :

setContentView(R.id.main);    
Display display = getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
ImageView iv = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.left);
int width = display.getWidth(); // ((display.getWidth()*20)/100)
int height = display.getHeight();// ((display.getHeight()*30)/100)
LinearLayout.LayoutParams parms = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(width,height);
iv.setLayoutParams(parms);

hope use full to you.

I have played this one with pixel and dp.

private int dimensionInPixel = 200;

How to set by pixel:

view.getLayoutParams().height = dimensionInPixel;
view.getLayoutParams().width = dimensionInPixel;
view.requestLayout();

How to set by dp:

int dimensionInDp = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, dimensionInPixel, getResources().getDisplayMetrics());
view.getLayoutParams().height = dimensionInDp;
view.getLayoutParams().width = dimensionInDp;
view.requestLayout();

Hope this would help you.

If you need to set your width or height to match_parent (as big as its parent) or wrap_content (large enough to fit its own internal content), then ViewGroup.LayoutParams has this two constants:

imageView.setLayoutParams(
    new ViewGroup.LayoutParams(
        // or ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT,      
        // or ViewGroup.LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,     
        ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT ) );

Or you can set them like in Hakem Zaied's answer:

imageView.getLayoutParams().width = ViewGroup.LayoutParams.MATCH_PARENT;
//...

You can set value for all case.

demoImage.getLayoutParams().height = 150;

demoImage.getLayoutParams().width = 150;

demoImage.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_XY);

The best and easiest way to set a button dynamically is

 Button index=new Button(this);
 int height = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 45, getResources().getDisplayMetrics());             
 int width = (int) TypedValue.applyDimension(TypedValue.COMPLEX_UNIT_DIP, 42, getResources().getDisplayMetrics());

The above height and width are in pixels px. 45 being the height in dp and 42 being the width in dp.

 index.setLayoutParams(new <Parent>.LayoutParams(width, height));

So, for example, if you've placed your button within a TableRow within a TableLayout, you should have it as TableRow.LayoutParams

 index.setLayoutParams(new TableRow.LayoutParams(width, height));

Simply create a LayoutParams object and assign it to your imageView

LinearLayout.LayoutParams params = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(150, 150);
imageView.setLayoutParams(params);

image_view.getLayoutParams().height 

returns height value in pixels. You need to get the screen dimensions first to set the values properly.

 Display display = context.getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay();
 DisplayMetrics outMetrics = new DisplayMetrics();
 display.getMetrics(outMetrics);
 int screen_height = outMetrics.heightPixels;
 int screen_width = outMetrics.widthPixels;

After you get the screen dimensions, you can set the imageview width&height using proper margins.

 view.getLayoutParams().height = screen_height - 140;
 view.getLayoutParams().width = screen_width - 130 ;

In order to set the ImageView and Height Programatically, you can do

            //Makesure you calculate the density pixel and multiply it with the size of width/height
            float dpCalculation = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density;
            your_imageview.getLayoutParams().width = (int) (150 * dpCalculation);

            //Set ScaleType according to your choice...
            your_imageview.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);

In the scenario where the widget size needs to be set programmatically, ensure the below rules.

  1. Set LayoutParam for the Layout in which you are adding that view. In my case I am adding to TableRow so I had to do TableRow.LayoutParams
  2. Follow this code

final float scale = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().density; int dpWidthInPx = (int) (17 * scale); int dpHeightInPx = (int) (17 * scale);

TableRow.LayoutParams deletelayoutParams = new TableRow.LayoutParams(dpWidthInPx, dpHeightInPx); button.setLayoutParams(deletelayoutParams); tableRow.addView(button, 1);

If you want to just fit the image in image view you can use" wrap content" in height and width property with scale-type but if you want to set manually you have to use LayoutParams.

Layoutparams is efficient for setting the layout height and width programmatically.

int newHeight = 150;
            int newWidth = 150; 
            holder.iv_arrow.requestLayout();
            holder.iv_arrow.getLayoutParams().height = newHeight;
            holder.iv_arrow.getLayoutParams().width = newWidth;
            holder.iv_arrow.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_XY);
            holder.iv_arrow.setImageResource(R.drawable.video_menu);
