Question

      ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗       ║               Linear Layout  (Center)                  ║       ║    ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗    ║          ║    ║ ImageView    ╔══════════════╗                ║    ║       ║    ║              ║              ║    (Center)    ║    ║       ║    ║              ║ Actual image ║                ║    ║       ║    ║              ║              ║                ║    ║       ║    ║              ║  (Center)    ║                ║    ║       ║    ║              ║              ║                ║    ║       ║    ║              ╚══════════════╝                ║    ║       ║    ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝    ║        ║                                                        ║       ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝ 

And I want to do this:

      ╔════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗       ║               Linear Layout  (Center)                  ║       ║    ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════╗    ║          ║    ║ ImageView    ║              ║                ║    ║       ║    ║              ║              ║    (Center)    ║    ║       ║    ║              ║ Actual image ║                ║    ║       ║    ║              ║              ║                ║    ║       ║    ║              ║  (Top)       ║                ║    ║       ║    ║              ║              ║                ║    ║       ║    ║              ╚══════════════╝                ║    ║       ║    ╚══════════════════════════════════════════════╝    ║        ║                                                        ║       ╚════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝

Answer 1

Set the scaleType to fitStart in your XML:

<ImageView     android:id="@+id/ivMap"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:scaleType="fitStart" > </ImageView> 

Answer 2

You can use ImageView.ScaleType.MATRIX and set image matrix using ImageView.setImageMatrix(). Matrix can be obtained using Matrix.setRectToRect() method.
