How can I set the imageview to take up the width of the screen?

Question

I would like an imagview that takes up the width of the screen (or layout) but there seems to be padding around the view that prevents me from doing this.

With the corresponding xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" android:weightSum="1">
<ImageView android:src="@drawable/icon" android:background="@null"
    android:layout_height="106dp" android:id="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_weight="0.59" android:layout_width="match_parent"></ImageView>

</LinearLayout>

Answer 1

The padding is come from transparent area on android icon. Just remove unused transparent area or use another image.

Answer 2

Try changing:

android:layout_width="match_parent"

to:

android:layout_width="fill_parent"

Answer 3

make layout width and height as fill_parent

<ImageView android:src="@drawable/icon" android:background="@null"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:id="@+id/imageView1"
android:layout_weight="1" android:layout_width="fill_parent"></ImageView>
