You can create bitmap with captured image as below:

Bitmap bitmap = Bitmap.createScaledBitmap(capturedImage, width, height, true);

Here you can specify width and height of the bitmap that you want to set to your ImageView. The height and width you can set according to the screen dpi of the device also, by reading the screen dpi of different devices programmatically.
