I am not sure but use dp instead of sp for width, height and padding. And give a try. — Tabrej Khan, Dec 28 '13 at 14:17
px is one pixel. sp is scale-independent pixels. dip is Density-independent pixels. You would use sp for font sizes dip for everything else. dip==dp — Tabrej Khan, Dec 28 '13 at 14:18
@TabrejKhan where should i use dp? what is the matter with dp in the my problem please? — user3110137, Dec 28 '13 at 14:23
Refer [this](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2025282/difference-between-px-dp-dip-and-sp-in-android) and [this](http://blog.edwinevans.me/?p=131) for details. — Tabrej Khan, Dec 28 '13 at 14:26

Perhaps the image is smaller than the display width.

Add android:scaleType="fitXY" to ImageView to scale it

The same effect can be achieved by changing android:src="@drawable/boarder" to android:background="@drawable/boarder"

Background drawables always fit the view.
