The image in imageview is blurry (Android java)

Issue

while the imageview I put in the activity appears clear on the design screen, it appears clear on the emulator and the real phone. How can I fix this? the image is in the "drawable/xxhdpi" folder

enter image description here

Solution

There could be a few reasons why the image appears blurry on the emulator and real phone. Here are a few things you can try to fix this issue:

1. Check the resolution of the image: Make sure the resolution of the image is high enough to support different screen densities. You may need to provide multiple versions of the image in different drawable folders (e.g. drawable-mdpi, drawable-hdpi, drawable-xhdpi, etc.) to ensure that the image looks clear on different devices.

2. Use vector images: Consider using vector images (SVG) instead of raster images (e.g. PNG) as they can scale without losing quality.

3. Check the scaling type: Make sure the ImageView is using the correct scaling type. You can set the scaling type in the XML layout file using the android:scaleType attribute.

4. Test on different devices: Test the app on different devices with varying screen densities to see how the image appears and make adjustments as needed.

By addressing these potential issues, you should be able to ensure that the image appears clear on all devices.
