Getting started

Add the dependencies

allprojects {
    repositories {
        maven {
            url  "http://dl.bintray.com/piasy/maven"
        }
    }
}

compile 'com.github.piasy:BigImageViewer:1.5.1'

// load with fresco
compile 'com.github.piasy:FrescoImageLoader:1.5.1'

// load with glide
compile 'com.github.piasy:GlideImageLoader:1.5.1'

// progress pie indicator
compile 'com.github.piasy:ProgressPieIndicator:1.5.1'

// support thumbnail, gif and webp with Fresco
compile 'com.github.piasy:FrescoImageViewFactory:1.5.1'

// support thumbnail and gif with Glide
compile 'com.github.piasy:GlideImageViewFactory:1.5.1'

Initialize

// MUST use app context to avoid memory leak!
// load with fresco
BigImageViewer.initialize(FrescoImageLoader.with(appContext));

// or load with glide
BigImageViewer.initialize(GlideImageLoader.with(appContext));

Note that if you've already used Fresco in your project, please change Fresco.initialize into BigImageViewer.initialize.

Add the BigImageView to your layout

<com.github.piasy.biv.view.BigImageView
        android:id="@+id/mBigImage"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        app:failureImage="@drawable/failure_image"
        app:failureImageInitScaleType="center"
        app:optimizeDisplay="true"
        />

You can disable display optimization using optimizeDisplay attribute, or BigImageView.setOptimizeDisplay(false). Which will disable animation for long image, and the switch between thumbnail and origin image.

Show the image

BigImageView bigImageView = (BigImageView) findViewById(R.id.mBigImage);
bigImageView.showImage(Uri.parse(url));

// Or show a thumbnail before the big image is loaded
bigImageView.showImage(Uri.parse(thumbnail), Uri.parse(url));

Note: since 1.5.1, to show thumbnail image, you need call setImageViewFactory, see details below.

Usage

Animated image support

Since 1.5.1, BIV support display animated image, e.g. gif and webp, to achieve that, you need set a custom ImageViewFactory via biv.setImageViewFactory:

// FrescoImageViewFactory is a prebuilt factory, which use Fresco's SimpleDraweeView
// to display animated image, both gif and webp are supported.
biv.setImageViewFactory(new FrescoImageViewFactory());

// GlideImageViewFactory is another prebuilt factory, which use
// https://github.com/koral--/android-gif-drawable to display gif,
// webp is not supported.
biv.setImageViewFactory(new GlideImageViewFactory());

To clean up code, we move thumbnail view creation from ImageLoader into ImageViewFactory, so to display thumbnail, you also need set an ImageViewFactory.

Node: if the image is not gif or webp, then it will be displayed by SSIV, the image type is not determined by its file extension, but by its file header magic code.

Download progress indicator

bigImageView.setProgressIndicator(new ProgressPieIndicator());

There is one built-in indicator, ProgressPieIndicator, you can implement your own indicator easily, learn by example.

Prefetch

You can prefetch images in advance, so it could be shown immediately when user want to see it.

BigImageViewer.prefetch(uris);

Save image into gallery

bigImageView.setImageSaveCallback(new ImageSaveCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(String uri) {
        Toast.makeText(LongImageActivity.this,
                "Success",
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }

    @Override
    public void onFail(Throwable t) {
        t.printStackTrace();
        Toast.makeText(LongImageActivity.this,
                "Fail",
                Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    }
});

bigImageView.saveImageIntoGallery();

Get current image file

// only valid when image file is downloaded.
File path = bigImageView.getCurrentImageFile();

Image init scale type

You can set the normal image scale type using initScaleType attribute, or setInitScaleType.

mBigImageView.setInitScaleType(BigImageView.INIT_SCALE_TYPE_CENTER_CROP);

value	effect
center	Center the image in the view, but perform no scaling.
centerCrop	Scale the image uniformly (maintain the image's aspect ratio) so that both dimensions (width and height) of the image will be equal to or larger than the corresponding dimension of the view (minus padding). The image is then centered in the view.
centerInside	Scale the image uniformly (maintain the image's aspect ratio) so that both dimensions (width and height) of the image will be equal to or less than the corresponding dimension of the view (minus padding). The image is then centered in the view.
fitCenter	Scales the image so that it fits entirely inside the parent. At least one dimension (width or height) will fit exactly. Aspect ratio is preserved. Image is centered within the parent's bounds.
fitEnd	Scales the image so that it fits entirely inside the parent. At least one dimension (width or height) will fit exactly. Aspect ratio is preserved. Image is aligned to the bottom-right corner of the parent.
fitStart	Scales the image so that it fits entirely inside the parent. At least one dimension (width or height) will fit exactly. Aspect ratio is preserved. Image is aligned to the top-left corner of the parent.
fitXY	Scales width and height independently, so that the image matches the parent exactly. This may change the aspect ratio of the image.
custom	Scale the image so that both dimensions of the image will be equal to or less than the maxScale and equal to or larger than minScale. The image is then centered in the view.
start	Scale the image so that both dimensions of the image will be equal to or larger than the corresponding dimension of the view. The top left is shown.

Note: SSIV only support centerCrop, centerInside, custom and start, other scale types are treated as centerInside, while other scale types may be used by animated image types.

Failure image

You can set a local failure image using failureImage attribute, or setFailureImage.

It will displayed using an ImageView when the image network request fails. If not specified, nothing is displayed when the request fails.

Failure image init scale type

You can set the failure image scale type using failureImageInitScaleType attribute, or setFailureImageInitScaleType.

Any value of ImageView.ScaleType is valid. Default value is ImageView.ScaleType.FIT_CENTER. It will be ignored if there is no failure image set.

Tap to retry

When failure image is specified, you can tap the failure image then it will retry automatically. That's the default behavior, you can change it using tapToRetry attribute, or setTapToRetry.

Image load callback

You can handle the image load response by creating a new ImageLoader.Callback and overriding the key callbacks

ImageLoader.Callback myImageLoaderCallback = new ImageLoader.Callback() {
    @Override
    public void onCacheHit(int imageType, File image) {
      // Image was found in the cache
    }

    @Override
    public void onCacheMiss(int imageType, File image) {
      // Image was downloaded from the network
    }

    @Override
    public void onStart() {
      // Image download has started
    }

    @Override
    public void onProgress(int progress) {
      // Image download progress has changed
    }

    @Override
    public void onFinish() {
      // Image download has finished
    }

    @Override
    public void onSuccess(File image) {
      // Image was retrieved successfully (either from cache or network)
    }

    @Override
    public void onFail(Exception error) {
      // Image download failed
    }
}

Then setting it as the image load callback

mBigImageView.setImageLoaderCallback(myImageLoaderCallback);

The onSuccess(File image) is always called after the image was retrieved successfully whether from the cache or the network.

For an example, see ImageLoaderCallbackActivity.java

Cancel image loading

BIV will cancel image loading automatically when detach from window, you can also call cancel to cancel it manually.

Full customization

You can get the SSIV instance through the method below:

public SubsamplingScaleImageView getSSIV() {
    return mImageView;
}

Then you can do anything you can imagine about SSIV :)

Note: you should test whether SSIV is null, because the image could be a gif, then it won't be displayed by SSIV.

Custom SSIV support

You can even use your own custom SSIV, by calling biv.setImageViewFactory(), passing in a factory that override createStillImageView, and return your custom SSIV.

Caveats

Handle permission when you want to save image into gallery.
When you want load local image file, you can create the Uri via Uri.fromFile, but the path will be url encoded, and may cause the image loader fail to load it, consider using Uri.parse("file://" + file.getAbsolutePath()).
When using with ReceyclerView, the recycled BIV doesn't know it should clear the loaded image, so you need manually notify it in some way, see issue 107.

Why another big image viewer?

There are several big image viewer libraries, PhotoDraweeView, FrescoImageViewer, and Subsampling Scale Image View.

They both support pan and zoom. PhotoDraweeView and FrescoImageViewer both use Fresco to load image, which will cause extremely large memory usage when showing big images. Subsampling Scale Image View uses very little memory, but it can only show local image file.

This library show big image with Subsampling Scale Image View, so it only uses very little memory. And this library support using different image load libraries, so it's full featured!

If you are interested in how does this library work, you can refer to this issue, and Subsampling Scale Image View.

Performance

Memory usage of different libraries:

-	PhotoDraweeView	FrescoImageViewer	BigImageViewer
4135*5134	80MB	80MB	2~20 MB

Todo

Those features are offered by image load libraries, and they should be easy to implement, but I don't have enough time currently. So your contributions are welcome!
