Here I am trying to fit the entire image as the background for card view. but it takes some space as shown in the picture. I tried android:scaleType="centerCrop" and fitXY and others also but it not responding. In attached image violet color represents empty space that occupied. I need that spaces need to occupied with the background image. Here is my code.

You can set cardview background image with android:background="@drawable/app_ads_background" – Noban Hasan
Thanks for reply. Image can't be set as Background Image For a Card View. Even though I made the change as you tell, it's not working. – Natheeshkumar Rangasamy

In ConstraintLayout, if you want to make width & height fit to parents, there are two options.

1.Within layout_constraint attrs, you need to set 0dp on layout_width & layout_height

<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/application_ads_image"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:scaleType="fitXY"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent" />

2.If you set match_parent, you don't need to set layout_constraint. If set, it will effect just like wrap_content

<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/application_ads_image"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:scaleType="fitXY"
        android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"/>

Update

I write a sample for you, you can check the result like this

I tried with your layout file using my local resource drawable image with ImageView fitXY or matrix scaleType, ImageView picture fits into the card view perfectly. something like the following

<ImageView
        android:id="@+id/application_ads_image"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:scaleType="fitXY"
        android:src="@drawable/a1"
        app:layout_constraintBottom_toBottomOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintEnd_toEndOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintHorizontal_bias="0.0"
        app:layout_constraintStart_toStartOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintTop_toTopOf="parent"
        app:layout_constraintVertical_bias="1.0" />

a1 is my local drawable image file, @drawable/a1. If you still have issue, i will suggest you to check with image/icons dimensions or check the parent view where you are using this layout card.
