How can I align an image inside an ImageView to the bottom of the ImageView?

Question

I want the drawable inside my ImageView to be shown aligned to the bottom (of the Imageview), and not centered.

Is it possible to do that?

Answer 1

Maybe this is too late, but even I ran into the same problem today and fixed it by using the following snippet.

All the alignment/scaling options are in the scaleType attribute.

Now, if you want to align the image with the beginning of the ImageView, use android:scaleType="fitStart".

Similarly, android:scaleType="fitEnd" to align it with the bottom of the ImageView.

Unfamiliar

fitStart put image in top-left corner and fitEnd put in bottom-right corner. But what if you want image at bottom-center? For that Fresco provides custom scalType. – Stome

Answer 2

You can wrap the ImageView inside a FrameLayout and align using android:layout_gravity like this:

<FrameLayout
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" >
        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|bottom"
            android:src="@drawable/img_select_profile" />
</FrameLayout>

If you have SVG you can open it in https://boxy-svg.com/app or any other online svg editor

Align Image Bottom.

For me, this helped. My svg had blank space at bottom. Without clipping that, none of other options worked. – Squama

You'll have to set the weight of it to 1 or set its alignment to bottom.

it doesn't seem to work. That method align the entire imageview to the bottom of LinearLayout. But i want that the drawable aligned to the bottom of the ImageView – Asphalt

OK, then how about setting android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" in the XML instead? – Fist

I still have the same problem. – Asphalt
