Android Set ImageView Aspect Ratio and Load Image With Glide (Kotlin)

NOTE: android-ktx is used in this example.

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="300dp"
    android:scaleType="centerCrop"
    />

The following example will apply 16:9 aspect ratio to ImageView and load the image using Glide.

// make sure we get correct width (after render)imageView.doOnLayout {        // update height based on 16:9 ratio    it.updateLayoutParams {        height = (it.width * 9/16f).toInt()    }    // load image when new height are rendered    it.doOnLayout {        // glide will follow imageview's width, height and scaleType        Glide.with(this)                .load(R.drawable.sample_image)                .into(imageView)    }}
