Android :: Why Bitmap Is Placed On An An Imageview Incorrectly?

this problem has been bothering me for days and I cannot figure out why on earth it is happening. I have a method that detects for a face, if a face is detected, the method will draw a rectangle on a canvas along the face.That part works fine.The problem is, when it displays to the image_view in my xml file, it will display on the far left middle of the image view, in a box, rather than in the center with the width as fill_parent.I thought of a possible workaround : to set the bitmap as a bitmapdrawable, but canvas only draws to bitmaps, so I can get the bitmapdrawable in the middle, but with no red box around it.I commented out my testing of bitmap drawable, and left it as what I have now...it only displays to my xml in the far left of the image_view.
