android imageView: setting drag and pinch zoom parameters
I am currently developing for Android (my first app) an application which lets users see the subway map and be able to pinch zoom and drag around.
I am currently modifying the code found in Hello Android, 3rd Edition and got the pinch zooming and dragging to work. I'm using Matrix as my layout scale.
However I now have 3 problems:
I tried many things to limit the drag parameters but I can't seem to stop it being dragged off the parent view (and can actually disappear from view). I've tried setting layout parameters in the XML file and it just doesn't work.
I can pinch zoom fine but I have trouble, again, limiting the amount of zoom. I'm trying to play around with setting a max_zoom and min_zoom to limit the scaling value (i will post my code after)
I also have trouble trying to map a coordinate on my image so that people can click on certain parts (the whole point of this is to let users click a station on the map and view information about it)
I have a feeling i'm having trouble because I'm using the matrix scale.
Here is my current code:

// These matrices will be used to move and zoom image

}
private float spacing(MotionEvent event) {

}

main.xml (rather simple nothing really complicated):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" >
<ImageView android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:src="@drawable/map"
android:scaleType="matrix" >
</ImageView>
</FrameLayout>
AndroidManifest.xml (only added the theme so there is no title bar and is full screen)
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="org.example.touch"
android:versionCode="7"
android:versionName="1.0" >
<application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name" android:theme="@android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" >
<activity android:name=".Touch"
android:label="@string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="3" android:targetSdkVersion="7" />
</manifest>
Solution 1:
I just created this:
https://github.com/jasonpolites/gesture-imageview
Might be useful for someone...
Solution 2:
Another option that might work for some is to use a WebView, which has built in zoom controls.
WebView webView = new WebView(this);
webView.setBackgroundColor(0xff000000);
webView.setScrollBarStyle(WebView.SCROLLBARS_OUTSIDE_OVERLAY);
webView.getSettings().setBuiltInZoomControls(true);
webView.getSettings().setSupportZoom(true);
//webView.getSettings().setDisplayZoomControls(false); // API 11
webView.loadDataWithBaseURL(null, getHtml(), "text/html", "UTF-8", null);
mainView.addView(webView, -1, -2);
Solution 3:
I know this is old but I was looking into doing this and have a solution that works pretty well. Right after your switch statement and before you set the matrix, you can limit the zoom like so:
private void limitZoom(Matrix m) {
float[] values = new float[9];
m.getValues(values);
float scaleX = values[Matrix.MSCALE_X];
float scaleY = values[Matrix.MSCALE_Y];
if(scaleX > MAX_ZOOM) {
scaleX = MAX_ZOOM;
} else if(scaleX < MIN_ZOOM) {
scaleX = MIN_ZOOM;
}
if(scaleY > MAX_ZOOM) {
scaleY = MAX_ZOOM;
} else if(scaleY < MIN_ZOOM) {
scaleY = MIN_ZOOM;
}
values[Matrix.MSCALE_X] = scaleX;
values[Matrix.MSCALE_Y] = scaleY;
m.setValues(values);
}
I'm still working out how to limit the translation but this should work for the zoom limiting.
EDIT: Here's a solution for limiting the translation. Just as a note, I'm doing this for a full screen image view which is why I use the display width and height in my limiting factors but you could just as easily use the width and height of your view instead.
private void limitDrag(Matrix m) {
float[] values = new float[9];
m.getValues(values);
float transX = values[Matrix.MTRANS_X];
float transY = values[Matrix.MTRANS_Y];
float scaleX = values[Matrix.MSCALE_X];
float scaleY = values[Matrix.MSCALE_Y];
ImageView iv = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.photo_view);
Rect bounds = iv.getDrawable().getBounds();
int viewWidth = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().widthPixels;
int viewHeight = getResources().getDisplayMetrics().heightPixels;
int width = bounds.right - bounds.left;
int height = bounds.bottom - bounds.top;
float minX = (-width + 20) * scaleX;
float minY = (-height + 20) * scaleY;
if(transX > (viewWidth - 20)) {
transX = viewWidth - 20;
} else if(transX < minX) {
transX = minX;
}
if(transY > (viewHeight - 80)) {
transY = viewHeight - 80;
} else if(transY < minY) {
transY = minY;
}
values[Matrix.MTRANS_X] = transX;
values[Matrix.MTRANS_Y] = transY;
m.setValues(values);
}
Once again, this would go right after your switch statement and right before you set the matrix for the image in the view. I broke out the zoom limiting into a function as well and it is reflected above.
