UIImageView image stretched even though contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit

Question

I am really disappointed by the way UIImageView displays the image.

I have following piece of code:

UIImageView *imgview = [[UIImageView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 300, 100)];
imgview.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"img.JPG"];
imgview.backgroundColor = [UIColor greenColor];
imgview.contentMode = UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit;
[self.view addSubview:imgview];

What I get is a following screenshot:

[image is stretched to full width of UIImageView and does not even take full height]

Answer 1

Setting the size must occur AFTER setting the contentMode

[imageView setContentMode: UIViewContentModeScaleAspectFit];
imageView.frame = CGRectMake(x, y, width, height);
