Android scaling of images to screen density

Question

I have an application with an embedded drawable 48x48 pixel at 71,12 pixels/inch I load the same image via a stream to a webserver, then load that stream ``` return new BitmapDrawable(getActivity().getResources(), new ByteArrayInputStream(imageThumbnail)); ``` the displayed result is: How can i get the BitmapDrawable to scale the same as the rest of the drawables?

Accepted Answer

Do something like this:

```
DisplayMetrics metrics = new DisplayMetrics();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getMetrics(metrics);

Bitmap bitmapOrg = new BitmapDrawable(getResources(), new  ByteArrayInputStream(imageThumbnail)).getBitmap();

int width = bitmapOrg.getWidth();
int height = bitmapOrg.getHeight();

float scaleWidth = metrics.scaledDensity;
float scaleHeight = metrics.scaledDensity;

// create a matrix for the manipulation
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
// resize the bit map
matrix.postScale(scaleWidth, scaleHeight);

// recreate the new Bitmap
Bitmap resizedBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(bitmapOrg, 0, 0, width, height, matrix, true);
```

Or

Maybe try a differnet approach... try setting the height and width of images in the XML layout in dips, I am guessing you have the ImageView with wrap_content height and width at the moment, try setting the height and width to 48dip
