Overview of JCropImageView

One of the popular scaletype configurations used in Android is the "centerCrop". However, it is limited to just center cropping. This usually crops off the faces of people from images that have an aspect ratio height > width.

Download the sample app

JCropImageView is a lightweight extension of the centercrop feature to provide additional control over how the images are displayed. For example in the screenshot below:

JCropImageView is used on the top, and it shows IronMan's face.
ImageView (Android Default) with centerCrop is shown below, and only the body is shown.

In total, JCropImageView provides 11 configurations

FitWidth - 3 configurations - TOP/BOTTOM/CENTER
FitHeight - 3 configurations - CENTER/LEFT/RIGHT
FitBest - 5 configurations - TOP/BOTTOM/CENTER/LEFT/RIGHT depending on which scale is used.

Note: The configurations for FitWidth + LEFT/RIGHT are correct, but they doesn't show any visual difference. This is because when an image is fit to width, the full width is already within the visible left and right bounds. They are effectively ALWAYS aligned LEFT and RIGHT.

Similarly for FitHeight, it is effectively ALWAYS aligned TOP and BOTTOM

THe configurations are more visible with FitBest, which will decide which bound to fit to. The default android scaleType=centerCrop is effectively 1 of the above configurations FitBest + CENTER

How to use JCropImageView

A) Simply include the repository and dependency in your build.gradle file

repositories {

  mavenCentral() 
}
 dependencies {

  compile 'com.github.jimcoven:jcropimageview:0.22' 
}

Just create an imageview as usual in xml. Then specify the configurations "app:cropType" and "app:cropAlign". If "app:cropType" is not specified, this reverts back to the default behaviour an Android ImageView.

Note! Remember to include the namespace xlmns:app

xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
<com.github.jimcoven.view.JCropImageView
  android:id="@+id/image_view"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="match_parent"
  app:cropType="fit_width"
  app:cropAlign="top" />

Supported configurations are:

Supported configurations for "app:cropType" are:

fit_width : Stretch to fit width
fit_fill : Stretch to fit width or height to fill
fit_height: Stretch to fit height

Supported configurations for "app:cropAlign" are:

top : align top edge
bottom : align bottom edge
center : align center
left : align left edge
right : align right edge

Allows to perform various simple operations on bitmaps via JNI , while also providing some protection against OOM using the native Java environment on Android.

Features:

store/restore bitmaps to/from JNI.
rotate CW/CCW 90, 180, 270 degrees.
crop image
scale image using either "Nearest-Neighbor" algorithm or "Bilinear-Interpolation" algorithm.

Magnet

This library enables you to create a window icon similar to Facebooks chat icon, and also similar to the Link Bubble app.

Magnet takes care of all the touching and dragging of the window icon, leaving you with callbacks so you can save your time doing the important stuff.
