Unwanted padding around an ImageView

finally!

<ImageView
  (...)
  android:adjustViewBounds="true" />

the adjustViewbounds attribute did the trick:

Set this to true if you want the ImageView to adjust its bounds to preserve the aspect ratio of its drawable.

i stumbled upon it here. thanks for your help!

those extra padding is autogenerated since the android would try to get the original aspect ratio. please try below

   android:scaleType="fitCenter"
   android:adjustViewBounds="true"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"

android:scaleType="fitXY"

It works for me.
