How to display a part of an image?

I have a large image. B开发者_StackOverflowut i have to display just some portion of it. How is this possible using Android ImageView?

You could always crop the piece that you need via the Bitmap.createBitmap() static method, and then assign it to the view:

Something like...

// Set some constants
private static final Bitmap SOURCE_BITMAP = BitmapFactory.decodeFile(....); // Get the source Bitmap using your favorite method :-)
private static final int START_X = 10;
private static final int START_Y = 15;
private static final int WIDTH_PX = 100;
private static final int HEIGHT_PX = 100;

// Crop bitmap
Bitmap newBitmap = Bitmap.createBitmap(SOURCE_BITMAP, START_X, START_Y, WIDTH_PX, HEIGHT_PX, null, false);

// Assign new bitmap to ImageView
ImageView image = (ImageView)findViewById(R.id.image_view);
image.setImageBitmap(newBitmap);

Use android:scaleType="centerInside"
