android surfaceview vs view resolution

android surfaceview vs view resolution

I was able to display and move bitmaps on the screen in two ways. 1 using
view, with invalidate() to to constantly update the view and display the
image and 2, using surfaceview with surfaceholder.callback to lock the
canvas and update the image
when I use view, I get a screen resolution of 1920x1080 on my Galaxy S4.
However when I use SurfaceView I get a screen resolution of 569x320. in
the surfaceview I was able to use the line getHolder().setFixedSize(1920,
1080) however now all my bitmaps appear squished even though i called this
line before loading any bitmaps.
how can I make the resolution and bitmaps appear as they do in view?
