I am trying to insert an icon within a circular background image, but I'm having an issue with image sizing. The icon is currently larger than the circle, and I can't seem to resize it without also resizing the circle background. Here is my XML:



<android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutCompat xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="center">

<ImageView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/circle_dark_grey"
android:src="@drawable/calendar_icon" />

</android.support.v7.widget.LinearLayoutCompat>


I'm pretty new to android UI, so if there is a better way to do this, or if you know how to solve my issue please let me know!



Cheers

  • you can put your drawable background to the linear layout and play with paddings for the spacing

you can go by the following two approaches :



1 set padding for the imageview



<ImageView
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/circle_dark_grey"
android:src="@drawable/calendar_icon" />


or



2 you can use framelayout like this



<FrameLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">

<View
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:background="@drawable/circle_dark_grey"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

<ImageView
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:src="@drawable/calendar_icon" />

</FrameLayout>
