My layout file is here:

android:layout_height="match_parent" >

    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"

    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"

        <ImageView

            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_weight="1.5"
            android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/user"
            android:scaleType="centerCrop" />

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/sideRight"
            android:layout_width="0dp"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:layout_marginLeft="1dp"
            android:layout_weight="1.5"
            android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
            android:background="@drawable/user"
            android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

Answer 1

You need to work on java for such output,

Set both image fit center, And from Java set first imageview's right padding as -width/2, and second imageview's left padding as -width/2. Here width is imageview's width.

It may help you.

Try this

<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="0dp"
    android:gravity="center" 
    android:layout_weight="1.5" >

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/sideLeft"
       android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:background="@drawable/user"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop" />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/sideRight"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_marginLeft="1dp"

        android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
        android:background="@drawable/user"
        android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
</LinearLayout>
