I'm trying to center a drawable image with some padding on either side to use as a splash screen logo. The problem is it's either stretched across the entire screen or ignores any padding if I use gravity.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<item
android:drawable="@color/grey_3"/>
<item android:gravity="top|center_horizontal|center_vertical" android:drawable="@drawable/zc_logo_r"
android:top="100dp"
android:left="200dp"
android:right="200dp"
android:layout_margin="100dp"
>
</item>
I've tried using a bitmap, android:gravity="fill_horizontal" and various other suggestions on SO with the same result.
How can I scale and center the image in my xml?

Layer list. A LayerDrawable is a drawable object that manages an array of other drawables. Each drawable in the list is drawn in the order of the list—the last drawable in the list is drawn on top. Each drawable is represented by an <item> element inside a single <layer-list> element.
In your Android/Java source code you can also refer to that same image like this: Resources res = getResources(); Drawable drawable = res. getDrawable(R.
Drawable myImage = ResourcesCompat. getDrawable(res, R. drawable. my_image, null);
Sometimes you want an outline around your shape and to do that you can use the stroke tag. You can specify the width and color of the outline using android:width and android:color.
As a reference, if you come across the same issue, I solved it with a square image in drawable folders (i.e. hdpi, mdpi, xhpi, xxhpi and xxxhdpi) instead of resizing a rectangular image which was too big in size and gets distorted.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<layer-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@color/grey_3"/>
<item android:gravity="center">
<bitmap android:src="@drawable/splash_logo"/>
</item>
</layer-list>
