bitmap - How to scale down the image for better quality on Android

Hello Friends,

How to scale down the image with better quality , without affecting the image 

Aspect Ration ?

I am sharing my android | java code with the help of which we can easily scale down

the image .

Note: Here in my function i am passing two parameter one is imageview and the other is 
         integer variable which is in dp(eg: int boundBoxInDp = 50 ).

 /*
  * Scaling down the image
  */
 public Bitmap getScaleImage(ImageView view, int boundBoxInDp) {
  Drawable drawing = view.getDrawable();
  Bitmap bitmap = ((BitmapDrawable) drawing).getBitmap();

  // Get current dimensions
  int width = bitmap.getWidth();
  int height = bitmap.getHeight();

  // Determine how much to scale: the dimension requiring
                // less scaling is.
  // closer to the its side. This way the image always 
                // stays inside your.
  // bounding box AND either x/y axis touches it.
  float xScale = ((float) boundBoxInDp) / width;
  float yScale = ((float) boundBoxInDp) / height;
  float scale = (xScale <= yScale) ? xScale : yScale;

  // Create a matrix for the scaling and add the scaling data
  Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
  matrix.postScale(scale, scale);

  // Create a new bitmap and convert it to a format understood

                // by the
  // ImageView
  Bitmap scaledBitmap = Bitmap.
                     createBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0, width, height,
                     matrix, true);
  
  // Apply the scaled bitmap
  view.setImageBitmap(scaledBitmap);
  return scaledBitmap;

 }

Hope , this will helps some one.
Enjoy coding........ :)
