     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

     android:layout_width="match_parent"

     android:layout_height="match_parent">

     <ImageView

         android:layout_width="wrap_content"

         android:layout_height="wrap_content"

         android:src="@drawable/my_image"

         android:contentDescription="@string/my_image_description"

         />

 </LinearLayout>
