ImageView static height, dynamic width

Thanks to this site, I successfully implemented a Horizontal ListView of ImageViews. Now what I need is for the ImageViews in the list to have a fixed height (they're part of a more complex layout, so I'm using the LinearLayout weight trick to give it a height equal to 1/3 of the screen height), and a width that adjusts in relation to the height without destroying aspect ratio. The images have a longer height than width - an aspect ratio similar to a phone on portrait.

Now I've tried setting the scaleType to the different available settings, also set adjustViewBounds to true, and set the layout_width to wrap_content and layout_height to fill_parent. The nearest I got to doing it was this:

What else can be done?

Problem here is that your ImageView cannot be adjusted to desired height because it's aspect ratio is different from screen. Your view matching screen height (or 1/3 of it) and width cannot be scaled proportionally without crop.

Try to set scaleType to centerCrop and load images resized to desired height.
