背景图片未填满布局，并在上方和下方占用了多余的空间

Question

The blue bordered part is a LinearLayout and the white card part is the background image I have used. The background image is not filling the layout.

I have tried keeping an ImageView in a FrameLayout and making scale type as centerCrop but even that didn't work. I can use a CardView instead but I want this type of shadow as shown in the picture which I couldn't achieve with attributes of CardView .

Here is my code:

<LinearLayout
   android:layout_width="match_parent"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:background="@drawable/squared_background_shadow">
</LinearLayout>

Answer 1

1. Maybe the issue is in the picture you use, it could be png with transparent background?
2. Which special attributes are you using in LinearLayout , which don't support by CardView ?
3. You can try android:scaleType="fitXY"
