Android - ImageView bottomCrop instead of centerCrop

I ended up subclassing ImageView and creating a way to enable a 'BottomCrop' type image scaling.

I assigned the image to a RectF of the correct size by calculating the scale and expected image height based on the view height.

public class BottomCropImage extends ImageView {

public BottomCropImage(Context context) {
    super(context);
    setup();
}

public BottomCropImage(Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    super(context, attrs);
    setup();
}

public BottomCropImage(Context context, AttributeSet attrs,
        int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    setup();
}

private void setup() {
    setScaleType(ScaleType.MATRIX);
}

@Override
protected boolean setFrame(int l, int t, int r, int b) {
    Matrix matrix = getImageMatrix();

    float scale;
    int viewWidth = getWidth() - getPaddingLeft() - getPaddingRight();
    int viewHeight = getHeight() - getPaddingTop() - getPaddingBottom();
    int drawableWidth = getDrawable().getIntrinsicWidth();
    int drawableHeight = getDrawable().getIntrinsicHeight();

    //Get the scale 
    if (drawableWidth * viewHeight > drawableHeight * viewWidth) {
        scale = (float) viewHeight / (float) drawableHeight;
    } else {
        scale = (float) viewWidth / (float) drawableWidth;
    }

    //Define the rect to take image portion from
    RectF drawableRect = new RectF(0, drawableHeight - (viewHeight / scale), drawableWidth, drawableHeight);
    RectF viewRect = new RectF(0, 0, viewWidth, viewHeight);
    matrix.setRectToRect(drawableRect, viewRect, Matrix.ScaleToFit.FILL);


    setImageMatrix(matrix);

    return super.setFrame(l, t, r, b);
}        

}

Jpoliachik's answer was cool enough to make me wanna generalize it to support both top/bottom and left/right, by a variable amount. :) Now to top crop, just call setCropOffset(0,0) , bottom crop setCropOffset(0,1), left crop is also setCropOffset(0,0), and right crop setCropOffset(1,0). If you want to offset the viewport by some fraction of the image in one dimension, you can call e.g. setCropOffset(0, 0.25f) to shift it down by 25% of the non-viewable space, while 0.5f would center it. Cheers!
