How can I get zoom functionality for images?

Question

Is there a common way to show a big image and enable the user to zoom in and out and pan the image?

Until now I found two ways:

1. overwriting ImageView,

Answer 1

@Robert Foss, @Mike Ortiz, thank you very much for your work. I merged your work, and completed Robert classes for android > 2.0 with Mike additional work.

As result of my work I present Android Touch Gallery, based on ViewPager and used modificated TouchImageView. Images loading by URL and you can zoom and drag them. You can find it here https://github.com/Dreddik/AndroidTouchGallery

Answer 2

Try using ZoomView for zooming any other view.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    imageDetail = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
    imageDetail.setOnTouchListener(new View.OnTouchListener() {

        @Override
        public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
            ImageView view = (ImageView) v;
            System.out.println("matrix=" + savedMatrix.toString());
            switch (event.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) {
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
                    savedMatrix.set(matrix);
                    startPoint.set(event.getX(), event.getY());
                    mode = DRAG;
                    break;
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_DOWN:
                    oldDist = spacing(event);
                    if (oldDist > 10f) {
                        savedMatrix.set(matrix);
                        midPoint(midPoint, event);
                        mode = ZOOM;
                    }
                    break;
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP:
                    mode = NONE;
                    break;
                case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
                    if (mode == DRAG) {
                        matrix.set(savedMatrix);
                        matrix.postTranslate(event.getX() - startPoint.x, event.getY() - startPoint.y);
                    } else if (mode == ZOOM) {
                        float newDist = spacing(event);
                        if (newDist > 10f) {
                            matrix.set(savedMatrix);
                            float scale = newDist / oldDist;
                            matrix.postScale(scale, scale, midPoint.x, midPoint.y);
                        }
                    }
                    break;
            }
            view.setImageMatrix(matrix);
            return true;

        }

        @SuppressLint("FloatMath")
        private float spacing(MotionEvent event) {
            float x = event.getX(0) - event.getX(1);
            float y = event.getY(0) - event.getY(1);
            return FloatMath.sqrt(x * x + y * y);
        }

        private void midPoint(PointF point, MotionEvent event) {
            float x = event.getX(0) + event.getX(1);
            float y = event.getY(0) + event.getY(1);
            point.set(x / 2, y / 2);
        }
    });
}

and drawable folder should have bticn image file. perfectly works :)

Something like below will do it.

@Override public boolean onTouch(View v,MotionEvent e)
{

    tap=tap2=drag=pinch=none;
    int mask=e.getActionMasked();
    posx=e.getX();posy=e.getY();

    float midx= img.getWidth()/2f;
    float midy=img.getHeight()/2f;
    int fingers=e.getPointerCount();

    switch(mask)
    {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP:
            tap2=1;break;

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP:
            tap=1;break;

        case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE:
            drag=1;
    }
    if(fingers==2){nowsp=Math.abs(e.getX(0)-e.getX(1));}
    if((fingers==2)&&(drag==0)){ tap2=1;tap=0;drag=0;}
    if((fingers==2)&&(drag==1)){ tap2=0;tap=0;drag=0;pinch=1;}

    if(pinch==1)

    {
        if(nowsp>oldsp)scale+=0.1;
        if(nowsp<oldsp)scale-=0.1;
        tap2=tap=drag=0;    
    }
    if(tap2==1)
        {
            scale-=0.1;
            tap=0;drag=0;
        }
    if(tap==1)
        {
            tap2=0;drag=0;
            scale+=0.1;
        }
    if(drag==1)
        {
            movx=posx-oldx;
            movy=posy-oldy;
            x+=movx;
            y+=movy;
            tap=0;tap2=0;
        }
    m.setTranslate(x,y);
    m.postScale(scale,scale,midx,midy);
    img.setImageMatrix(m);img.invalidate();
    tap=tap2=drag=none;
    oldx=posx;oldy=posy;
    oldsp=nowsp;
    return true;
}


public void onCreate(Bundle b)
{
        super.onCreate(b);

    img=new ImageView(this);
    img.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.MATRIX);
    img.setOnTouchListener(this);

    path=Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath();   
    path=path+"/DCIM"+"/behala.jpg";
    byte[] bytes;
    bytes=null;
    try{
        FileInputStream fis;
        fis=new FileInputStream(path);
        BufferedInputStream bis;
        bis=new BufferedInputStream(fis);
        bytes=new byte[bis.available()];
        bis.read(bytes);
        if(bis!=null)bis.close();
        if(fis!=null)fis.close();

     }
    catch(Exception e)
        {
        ret="Nothing";
        }
    Bitmap bmp=BitmapFactory.decodeByteArray(bytes,0,bytes.length);

    img.setImageBitmap(bmp);

    setContentView(img);
}

Answer 5

I used a WebView and loaded the image from the memory via

webview.loadUrl("file://...")

The WebView handles all the panning zooming and scrolling. If you use wrap_content the webview won't be bigger then the image and no white areas are shown. The WebView is the better ImageView ;)

Answer 6

You can try using the LayoutParams for this

public void zoom(boolean flag){
    if(flag){
        int width=40;
        int height=40;
    }
    else{
        int width=20;
        int height=20;
    }
    RelativeLayout.LayoutParams param=new RelativeLayout.LayoutParams(width,height); //use the parent layout of the ImageView;
    imageView.setLayoutParams(param); //imageView is the view which needs zooming.
}

ZoomIn = zoom(true); ZoomOut = zoom(false);
