Extra white space on all four sides of ImageView

This question has been asked many times, but none of the answers helped.

Android adds adds extra white space on all the four sides of image in ImageView . And this is same for devices different of different screen size. I have tried changing resolution of the image(s) as well, but to no avail.

For reference, here is my xml code:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
    tools:context=".Starter" >

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:contentDescription="cat"
        android:scaleType="fitXY"
        android:src="@drawable/splash" />

</LinearLayout>

Also attached is the screenshot how the image looks like.

How can I remove these spaces ?

Thanks.

Just remove the padding on your parent layout :)

remove these lines:

android:paddingBottom="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"
android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"

And ensure that the whitespace is not a part of your image file itself.
