android: stretch image in imageview to fit screen

to change pro-grammatically use :

imgview.setScaleType(ScaleType.FIT_XY);

OR

to change from xml use:

 android:scaleType="fitXY"

Give in the xml file of your layout android:scaleType="fitXY"
P.S : this applies to when the image is set with android:src="..." rather than android:background="..." as backgrounds are set by default to stretch and fit to the View.
