Re: [android-developers] Fitting image to a screen

One point here: the assumption I'm making is that this is for a
wallpaper.

If I did, don't you think I'd be able to say how long ago it was? ;-}
But given the source of the information---direct from one of THE
Android developers (as in, the platform itself), I think it's safe to
say that you're nuts if you don't listen to what she said.

Yeah, and I tried all of that stuff, too....and no matter what, it kept
getting stretched off-screen when you set it as wallpaper.

Wait a second...is this for a wallpaper (or lwp)? Or are you just trying
to set an ImageView to full screen? If the former, no, you can't do it.
If the latter, RTFM (http://developer.android.com/guide/index.html).
That's so simple I never even considered that that's what you were
asking. And you don't need to calculate the screen size or anything to
do that. Just the right settings (in XML and maybe also in Java) for an
ImageView.
