Picasso Does Not Preserve Aspect Ratio While Resizing Image

Question

I'd like to preserve the aspect ratio of an imageView and resize it to fill / fit as large as possible without distorting/changing it's aspect ratio using Picasso.

Thus far I've found this:

scaling image size in Picasso

which suggests using:

.fit().centerInside() 

however when I tried it:

        Picasso.with(this).load(boxart)
.fit().centerInside() 
        .into(imageItem);

Along with my XML:

    <RelativeLayout
        android:id="@+id/rl_ListView1"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:layout_centerInParent="true"
        android:layout_gravity="left"
        android:layout_weight="0.3" >

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/imageView1"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent"
            android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
            android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
            android:scaleType="fitXY"
            android:layout_gravity="left" />
    </RelativeLayout>

However the image still appears distorted (it appears too long and skinny - it's original aspect ratio is distorted) and I am unsure why.

Answer 1

Сode below should work:

.fit().centerCrop() 

Answer 2

CenterInside CenterInside() is a cropping technique that scales the image so that both dimensions are equal to or less than the requested bounds of the ImageView. The image will be displayed completely, but might not fill the entire ImageView.

Picasso
.with(context)
.load(UsageExampleListViewAdapter.eatFoodyImages[0])
.resize(600, 200)
.centerInside() 
.into(imageViewResizeCenterInside);
