I'm setting the background of a layout programmatically. How do I center-crop the background?
Bitmap bm = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(myUri);
BitmapDrawable dw = new BitmapDrawable(bm);
layout.setBackgroundDrawable(dw);
edit
I am looking for the Java equivalent of android:scaleType="centerCrop"
Found an answer here
public Bitmap scaleCenterCrop(Bitmap source, int newHeight, int newWidth) {
int sourceWidth = source.getWidth();
int sourceHeight = source.getHeight();
// Compute the scaling factors to fit the new height and width, respectively.
// To cover the final image, the final scaling will be the bigger
// of these two.
float xScale = (float) newWidth / sourceWidth;
float yScale = (float) newHeight / sourceHeight;
float scale = Math.max(xScale, yScale);
// Now get the size of the source bitmap when scaled
float scaledWidth = scale * sourceWidth;
float scaledHeight = scale * sourceHeight;
// Let's find out the upper left coordinates if the scaled bitmap
// should be centered in the new size give by the parameters
float left = (newWidth - scaledWidth) / 2;
float top = (newHeight - scaledHeight) / 2;
// The target rectangle for the new, scaled version of the source bitmap will now
// be
RectF targetRect = new RectF(left, top, left + scaledWidth, top + scaledHeight);
// Finally, we create a new bitmap of the specified size and draw our new,
// scaled bitmap onto it.
Bitmap dest = Bitmap.createBitmap(newWidth, newHeight, source.getConfig());
Canvas canvas = new Canvas(dest);
canvas.drawBitmap(source, null, targetRect, null);
return dest;
}
This is not directly achievable with View backgrounds.
But you have the option to use an ImageView instead and place it behind your actual View using a FrameLayout to 'simulate' a backround. Then you can use centerCrop option:
<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:scaleType="centerCrop" />
<!-- your actual View here -->
</FrameLayout>
