PhotoView is an Android library providing a drop-in replacement for ImageView that supports zooming via multi-touch and double-tap gestures. It also offers smooth scrolling fling, matrix change notifications, and tap listeners, and works inside scrolling parents like ViewPager.

Use cases

  • zoomable image viewer in an android app
  • pinch to zoom on photos
  • double tap to zoom imageview
  • show full-screen image gallery with zoom
  • zoomable image inside viewpager
  • detect taps and zoom changes on an image

When to choose

  • you need a zoomable ImageView on Android with minimal setup
  • you want multi-touch and double-tap zoom out of the box
  • your image view lives inside a ViewPager or scrolling parent

When to avoid

  • you are not building an Android app
  • you need advanced image loading or decoding (combine with Glide/Coil)
  • you need a Jetpack Compose-native zoom solution without View interop
