Move/drag/zoom an imageview in Android

Question

I am developing an app which takes a picture from camera and then applies an imageview on top of it. Now, I need to move and resize (with pinch) the imageview above the captured picture.

First I've implemented a simple drag behavior which worked well (I cannot use the drag event since min sdk level), but problems have came when I tried to add a pinch-to-zoom action too.

Right now I've tried several solutions found on stackoverflow, but none of them has worked for my scenario.

Here is the custom view that I'm using (found after some searchs) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/230145/PanZoomView.java

but it has a weird behavior since when I try to do a zoom or drag it, the object gets crazy on the screen.

Anyone has an idea or solution for this?

EDIT

Finally I've solved with the following code:

Code from Java Class:

private ImageView mOrologio;
private FrameLayout mPhotoBox;
Matrix matrix = new Matrix();
Matrix savedMatrix = new Matrix();
// We can be in one of these 3 states
static final int NONE = 0;
static final int DRAG = 1;
static final int ZOOM = 2;
int mode = NONE;

// Remember some things for zooming
PointF start = new PointF();
PointF mid = new PointF();
float oldDist = 1f;

...
...

private void bindViews(View rootView) {
    ...
    mPhotoBox = (FrameLayout) rootView.findViewById(R.id.fotoBox);

    mOrologio = (ImageView) rootView.findViewById(R.id.imgOrologio);
    mOrologio.setOnTouchListener(this);
    ...
}

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);
}

@Override
public boolean onTouch(View v, MotionEvent event) {
    ImageView view = (ImageView) v;

    switch (event.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) {
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN:
            savedMatrix.set(matrix);
            start.set(event.getX(), event.getY());
            mode = DRAG;
            break;
        case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_DOWN:
            oldDist = spacing(event);
            if (oldDist > 10f) {
                savedMatrix.set(matrix);
                midPoint(mid, 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() - start.x,
                        event.getY() - start.y);
            }
            else if (mode == ZOOM) {
                float newDist = spacing(event);
                if (newDist > 10f) {
                    matrix.set(savedMatrix);
                    float scale = newDist / oldDist;
                    matrix.postScale(scale, scale, mid.x, mid.y);
                }
            }
            break;
    }

    view.setImageMatrix(matrix);
    return true; // indicate event was handled
  }
}

Code from XML Layout:

<FrameLayout
        android:id="@+id/fotoBox"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_above="@+id/prev_list" >

        <ImageView
            android:layout_width="wrap_content"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:id="@+id/imgOrologio"
            android:scaleType="matrix"
            android:layout_gravity="right|center_vertical" />

    </FrameLayout>

So basically I've learned this lesson:

• FrameLayout is needed as rootView if you want to move/zoom your ImageView
• If you want to move/zoom an ImageView like in my scenario you don't need to override the ImageView class but only handle the touch events.

Thank you all for replies and hope this solution will be usefull =)

You can use a custom image view above the current screen using a frame layout. You can use the custom class here will may help you

 public class CustomZoomableImageView  extends ImageView {
private Paint borderPaint = null;
private Paint backgroundPaint = null;

private float mPosX = 0f;
private float mPosY = 0f;

private float mLastTouchX;
private float mLastTouchY;
private static final int INVALID_POINTER_ID = -1;
private static final String LOG_TAG = "TouchImageView";

// The ‘active pointer’ is the one currently moving our object.
private int mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID;

public CustomZoomableImageView (Context context) {
    this(context, null, 0);
}

public CustomZoomableImageView (Context context, AttributeSet attrs) {
    this(context, attrs, 0);
}

private ScaleGestureDetector mScaleDetector;
private float mScaleFactor = 1.f;

// Existing code ...
public CustomZoomableImageView (Context context, AttributeSet attrs, int defStyle) {
    super(context, attrs, defStyle);
    // Create our ScaleGestureDetector
    mScaleDetector = new ScaleGestureDetector(context, new ScaleListener());

    borderPaint = new Paint();
    borderPaint.setARGB(255, 255, 128, 0);
    borderPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.STROKE);
    borderPaint.setStrokeWidth(4);

    backgroundPaint = new Paint();
    backgroundPaint.setARGB(32, 255, 255, 255);
    backgroundPaint.setStyle(Paint.Style.FILL);

}

@Override
public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent ev) {
    // Let the ScaleGestureDetector inspect all events.
    mScaleDetector.onTouchEvent(ev);

    final int action = ev.getAction();
    switch (action & MotionEvent.ACTION_MASK) {
    case MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN: {
        final float x = ev.getX();
        final float y = ev.getY();

        mLastTouchX = x;
        mLastTouchY = y;

        mActivePointerId = ev.getPointerId(0);
        break;
    }

    case MotionEvent.ACTION_MOVE: {
        final int pointerIndex = ev.findPointerIndex(mActivePointerId);
        final float x = ev.getX(pointerIndex);
        final float y = ev.getY(pointerIndex);

        // Only move if the ScaleGestureDetector isn't processing a gesture.
        if (!mScaleDetector.isInProgress()) {
            final float dx = x - mLastTouchX;
            final float dy = y - mLastTouchY;

            mPosX += dx;
            mPosY += dy;

            invalidate();
        }

        mLastTouchX = x;
        mLastTouchY = y;
        break;
    }

    case MotionEvent.ACTION_UP: {
        mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID;
        break;
    }

    case MotionEvent.ACTION_CANCEL: {
        mActivePointerId = INVALID_POINTER_ID;
        break;
    }

    case MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_UP: {
        final int pointerIndex = (ev.getAction() & MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_MASK) >> MotionEvent.ACTION_POINTER_INDEX_SHIFT;
        final int pointerId = ev.getPointerId(pointerIndex);
        if (pointerId == mActivePointerId) {
            // This was our active pointer going up. Choose a new
            // active pointer and adjust accordingly.
            final int newPointerIndex = pointerIndex == 0 ? 1 : 0;
            mLastTouchX = ev.getX(newPointerIndex);
            mLastTouchY = ev.getY(newPointerIndex);
            mActivePointerId = ev.getPointerId(newPointerIndex);
        }
        break;
    }
    }

    return true;
}

float pivotPointX = 0f;
float pivotPointY = 0f;

private class ScaleListener extends
        ScaleGestureDetector.SimpleOnScaleGestureListener {

    @Override
    public boolean onScale(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {
        mScaleFactor *= detector.getScaleFactor();

        mScaleFactor = Math.max(0.05f, mScaleFactor);

        invalidate();
        return true;
    }
}

And call the setImageDrawableMethod in the custom imageView
