Android: Scrolling an Imageview

this is how I fixed it :p

<ScrollView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true">

    <ImageView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:adjustViewBounds="true"
        android:contentDescription="Specs"
        android:scrollbars="vertical"
        android:src="@drawable/image"/>
</ScrollView>

I searched so long for this Code, so I wanted to share this great peace of code:

this code is from an Activity, which has a xml file on the backend containing an ImageView called 'img'

<ImageView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/img"
    android:scaleType="center"
    android:background="#fff"
    android:src="@drawable/picName"
/>

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.xml_name_layout);

    final ImageView switcherView = (ImageView) this.findViewById(R.id.img);

    switcherView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        public boolean onTouch(View arg0, MotionEvent event) {

            float curX, curY;

            switch (event.getAction()) {

                case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                    mx = event.getX();
                    my = event.getY();
                    break;
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                    curX = event.getX();
                    curY = event.getY();
                    switcherView.scrollBy((int) (mx - curX), (int) (my - curY));
                    mx = curX;
                    my = curY;
                    break;
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                    curX = event.getX();
                    curY = event.getY();
                    switcherView.scrollBy((int) (mx - curX), (int) (my - curY));
                    break;
            }

            return true;
        }
    });

}

did the job perfectly for me... horizontal & vertical scrolling included (enabled)

only negative side is... you can scroll over the edge of the picture... but this is no problem for me.. and spending some time you could easily implement this feature :)

good luck && have fun


@cV2 Thank you so much for that code. It got me going in the direction I needed. Here's my modified version which stops scrolling at the edges of the image...

    // set maximum scroll amount (based on center of image)
    int maxX = (int)((bitmapWidth / 2) - (screenWidth / 2));
    int maxY = (int)((bitmapHeight / 2) - (screenHeight / 2));

    // set scroll limits
    final int maxLeft = (maxX * -1);
    final int maxRight = maxX;
    final int maxTop = (maxY * -1);
    final int maxBottom = maxY;

    // set touchlistener
    ImageView_BitmapView.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener()
    {
        float downX, downY;
        int totalX, totalY;
        int scrollByX, scrollByY;
        public boolean onTouch(View view, MotionEvent event)
        {
            float currentX, currentY;
            switch (event.getAction())
            {
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                    downX = event.getX();
                    downY = event.getY();
                    break;

                case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                    currentX = event.getX();
                    currentY = event.getY();
                    scrollByX = (int)(downX - currentX);
                    scrollByY = (int)(downY - currentY);

                    // scrolling to left side of image (pic moving to the right)
                    if (currentX > downX)
                    {
                        if (totalX == maxLeft)
                        {
                            scrollByX = 0;
                        }
                        if (totalX > maxLeft)
                        {
                            totalX = totalX + scrollByX;
                        }
                        if (totalX < maxLeft)
                        {
                            scrollByX = maxLeft - (totalX - scrollByX);
                            totalX = maxLeft;
                        }
                    }

                    // scrolling to right side of image (pic moving to the left)
                    if (currentX < downX)
                    {
                        if (totalX == maxRight)
                        {
                            scrollByX = 0;
                        }
                        if (totalX < maxRight)
                        {
                            totalX = totalX + scrollByX;
                        }
                        if (totalX > maxRight)
                        {
                            scrollByX = maxRight - (totalX - scrollByX);
                            totalX = maxRight;
                        }
                    }

                    // scrolling to top of image (pic moving to the bottom)
                    if (currentY > downY)
                    {
                        if (totalY == maxTop)
                        {
                            scrollByY = 0;
                        }
                        if (totalY > maxTop)
                        {
                            totalY = totalY + scrollByY;
                        }
                        if (totalY < maxTop)
                        {
                            scrollByY = maxTop - (totalY - scrollByY);
                            totalY = maxTop;
                        }
                    }

                    // scrolling to bottom of image (pic moving to the top)
                    if (currentY < downY)
                    {
                        if (totalY == maxBottom)
                        {
                            scrollByY = 0;
                        }
                        if (totalY < maxBottom)
                        {
                            totalY = totalY + scrollByY;
                        }
                        if (totalY > maxBottom)
                        {
                            scrollByY = maxBottom - (totalY - scrollByY);
                            totalY = maxBottom;
                        }
                    }

                    ImageView_BitmapView.scrollBy(scrollByX, scrollByY);
                    downX = currentX;
                    downY = currentY;
                    break;

            }

            return true;
        }
    });

I'm sure it could be refined a bit, but it works pretty well. :)
