Setting placeholder programmatically in hierarchy does not respect scaleType

See original GitHub issue

I’m using SimpleDraweeView as Toolbar background, for this i have set a fixed height in AppBarLayout and match_parent height for SimpleDraweeView, the image set programmatically for placeholder is getting stretched in height, even if i set programmatically the scale type to centerCrop. This is my layout res:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:fitsSystemWindows="true">
    <android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="270dp"
        android:fitsSystemWindows="true">

        <android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent"
            android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
            app:layout_scrollFlags="scroll|exitUntilCollapsed">

            <com.facebook.drawee.view.SimpleDraweeView
                android:id="@+id/drawee_image"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                app:placeholderImageScaleType="centerCrop"
                app:layout_collapseMode="parallax" />
            <include layout="@layout/toolbar"/>

        </android.support.design.widget.CollapsingToolbarLayout>

    </android.support.design.widget.AppBarLayout>

    <include layout="@layout/content" />
</android.support.design.widget.CoordinatorLayout>

This is indeed a bug. Setting a placeholder image programmatically, ignores the “placeholderScaleType” set in xml. I wanted to use fitCenter, and I had to go with this method: target.getHierarchy().setPlaceholderImage(context.getResources().getDrawable(ressourceId), ScalingUtils.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER)

However, what is about this bug? I think if we don’t specify placeholderScaleType explicitly, Drawee should scaleType defined in xml, shouldn’t it?
