Should ImageView scale automatically?

I am using an ImageView in a TableViewRow. The ImageView references an image via a URL, and the proportions are set to 50x50. On the iphone, the image is scaled down to fit the 50x50 dimensions, but on Android, no scaling occurs.

Is image scaling available on Android?

  • Thanks Don, I'll give it a try in a bit. I didn't see that in the docs though. Are the online docs out of date?

    • Doesn't work on the iPhone yet. I need this. So far the only way I've found maintains aspect ratio in the transformation. Everything is proportional and the behavior interesting. I have 1024x768 image. I have a 320x410 display. If I do width=320, height=600 the api uses the width parameter and ignores height. If I do width=600, height=410 it uses the the height parameter. In both cases maintains aspect ratio. ???

  • I've added Ticket 758 to get the docs updated. The expectation may be different and it might be a bug for Android in addition to the docs.
