Center image horizontal in imageView without centering it vertically

Question

I have images with dynamical dimensions and ImageView with statistical height. I'm trying to bind my image in my imageView like this.

ImageLink

I mean to fill the ImageView horizontally, but not vertically. Here is my code

<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="280dp">
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/exploreImage"
        android:src="@drawable/beard1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</RelativeLayout>

But there is now ScaleType in ImageView, that allows this way to bind.

Do you have any idea about how to do it?

You have enough reputation to upload image in the question. Please do so. — user3301551, Feb 14 '14 at 11:48

Place it inside a scrollview and change your imageview code to this:

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/exploreImage"
    android:src="@drawable/beard1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:adjustViewBounds="true" 
/>

Well, its a very nice idea, but it has a padding in the top of scrollView Oo – kio_tk Feb 14 '14 at 11:59
you can create your own class, this answer will help you a lot: http://stackoverflow.com/a/4688335/1182971 – Dyna Feb 14 '14 at 12:19
Nice, thank you a lot I've already found the solution without creating a new class. Just add to your answer android:adjustViewBounds="true" And I will accept it – kio_tk Feb 14 '14 at 12:28
Hah, I implemented this in my code, and than I have another trouble, can you help again? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21783536/onitemclick-doesnt-work-if-there-is-scrollview-on-layout – kio_tk Feb 14 '14 at 16:14
you should have said that this is an item of your listview, listview and scrollview don't get along. – Dyna Feb 14 '14 at 17:20
Right, I had to notice it. Anyway I learned another way to do it) Now I will try to create a new class.. – kio_tk Feb 14 '14 at 17:37

Following xml produces very similar output to what you want. Just give the desired height lower than the height of the image.

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="100dp"
    android:scaleType="matrix"
    android:src="@drawable/image_1" />

In fact, ScaleType.Matrix means scaling using the image matrix which you should later provide in code when drawing. When you set scaleType="matrix" but provide no matrix in code; then it does not scale but crop the image starting from top.

But it crop it horizontally also. I need to fill horizontally — kio_tk, Feb 14 '14 at 12:33
