    }
}

add this code

First, great stuff! It works great! But, there's a but.. What I'm looking for is exactly the opposite...
How do I modify the code so that I'll have the same effect, but with the bottom of my image rather that it's top (as it works by default) ?

Never mind... Thanks to @MrVilkaman answer, I found the way.. Thanks dude!

So what you'll do to accomplish that, simply add at the bottom of the class, right after matrix.setScale(scale, scale);, this line : matrix.postTranslate( 0, viewHeight - drawableHeight * scale);.

Hope it will help someone else too..
Cheers!

It's been a while since I've updated this class which explains why there's some issues/warnings caused by newer APIs. I'll be posting an update to this code soon.

Updated gist to now work when inflated in XML and making sure that the drawable is not null before using it.

@arriolac
Thanks your code :)
Can I use your code in my commercial app?
Please let me know how I can use the code for commercial distribution.

Thanks for this.

final Matrix matrix = getImageMatrix();

any concern about the doc says "Do not change this matrix in place but make a copy.":

/** Returns the view's optional matrix. This is applied to the
view's drawable when it is drawn. If there is no matrix,
this method will return an identity matrix.
Do not change this matrix in place but make a copy.
If you want a different matrix applied to the drawable,
be sure to call setImageMatrix().
*/
public Matrix getImageMatrix() {
if (mDrawMatrix == null) {
return new Matrix(Matrix.IDENTITY_MATRIX);
}
return mDrawMatrix;
}

Image not loading after swipe to refresh layout in glide library.
Please give some feedback.

please add this method on code
@Override protected void onDraw(Canvas canvas) { recomputeImgMatrix(); super.onDraw(canvas); }

Thanks @Dishant624 for your code
You save my day :)

@Dishant624 - could you elaborate why? It would be much more costly in terms of performance.
Also this was enough for me:

@Override
    protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int left, int top, int right, int bottom) {
        super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom);
        recomputeImgMatrix();
    }

Hence no need for overriding setFrame method. Also, setFrame is supported ONLY for two View subclasses: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4751963/android-why-cant-i-override-setframe-from-view

In Kotlin, I got succeeded with MotionLayout with:

class BottomCenterImageView : AppCompatImageView {

    constructor(context: Context) : super(context)

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet) : super(context, attrs)

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet, defStyleAttr: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyleAttr)

    init {
        scaleType = ScaleType.MATRIX
    }

    override fun onLayout(changed: Boolean, left: Int, top: Int, right: Int, bottom: Int) {
        super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom)
        recomputeImageMatrix()
    }

    private fun recomputeImageMatrix() {
        val drawable = drawable ?: return
        val viewWidth = width - paddingLeft - paddingRight
        val viewHeight = height - paddingTop - paddingBottom
        val drawableWidth = drawable.intrinsicWidth
        val drawableHeight = drawable.intrinsicHeight
        imageMatrix = imageMatrix.apply {
            setTranslate(
                Math.round((viewWidth - drawableWidth) * 0.5f).toFloat(),
                Math.round((viewHeight - drawableHeight).toFloat()).toFloat()
            )
        }
    }
}

Here is a Kolin version:

import android.content.Context
import android.util.AttributeSet
import androidx.appcompat.widget.AppCompatImageView

class TopCropImageView : AppCompatImageView {

    constructor(context: Context) : super(context)

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?) : super(context, attrs)

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?, defStyle: Int) : super(context, attrs, defStyle)
    
    init {
        scaleType = ScaleType.MATRIX
    }
    
    override fun onLayout(changed: Boolean, left: Int, top: Int, right: Int, bottom: Int) {
        super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom)
        recomputeImgMatrix()
    }

    override fun setFrame(l: Int, t: Int, r: Int, b: Int): Boolean {
        recomputeImgMatrix()
        return super.setFrame(l, t, r, b)
    }

    private fun recomputeImgMatrix() {
        val matrix = imageMatrix
        
        val viewWidth = width - paddingLeft - paddingRight
        val viewHeight = height - paddingTop - paddingBottom
        val drawableWidth = drawable.intrinsicWidth
        val drawableHeight = drawable.intrinsicHeight
        
        val scale = if (drawableWidth * viewHeight > drawableHeight * viewWidth) {
            viewHeight.toFloat() / drawableHeight.toFloat()
        } else {
            viewWidth.toFloat() / drawableWidth.toFloat()
        }
        
        matrix.setScale(scale, scale)
        imageMatrix = matrix
    }
}

And here a version adapted to allow you to set the alignment in the range (0.0, 0.0) = top left to (1.0, 1.0) = (bottom right) either via code or XML attributes:

open class AlignmentCropImageView : AppCompatImageView {

    constructor(context: Context) : super(context) {
        initAttrs(context, null, 0)
    }

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?) : super(context, attrs) {
        initAttrs(context, attrs, 0)
    }

    constructor(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?, defStyleAttr: Int) : super(
        context,
        attrs,
        defStyleAttr
    ) {
        initAttrs(context, attrs, defStyleAttr)
    }

    open var alignmentX = 0.5f
    open var alignmentY = 0.5f

    private fun initAttrs(context: Context, attrs: AttributeSet?, defStyleAttr: Int) {
        scaleType = ScaleType.MATRIX
        context.obtainStyledAttributes(
            attrs,
            R.styleable.AlignmentCropImageView,
            defStyleAttr,
            0
        ).apply {
            alignmentX = getFloat(R.styleable.AlignmentCropImageView_alignmentX, alignmentX)
            alignmentY = getFloat(R.styleable.AlignmentCropImageView_alignmentX, alignmentY)
        }.recycle()
    }

    override fun onLayout(changed: Boolean, left: Int, top: Int, right: Int, bottom: Int) {
        super.onLayout(changed, left, top, right, bottom)
        recomputeImgMatrix()
    }

    override fun setFrame(l: Int, t: Int, r: Int, b: Int): Boolean {
        recomputeImgMatrix()
        return super.setFrame(l, t, r, b)
    }

    private fun recomputeImgMatrix() {
        val matrix = imageMatrix

        val viewWidth = width - paddingLeft - paddingRight
        val viewHeight = height - paddingTop - paddingBottom
        val drawableWidth = drawable?.intrinsicWidth ?: 0
        val drawableHeight = drawable?.intrinsicHeight ?: 0

        val scale = if (drawableWidth * viewHeight > drawableHeight * viewWidth) {
            viewHeight.toFloat() / drawableHeight.toFloat()
        } else {
            viewWidth.toFloat() / drawableWidth.toFloat()
        }
        matrix.setScale(scale, scale)
        matrix.postTranslate(
            (viewWidth - drawableWidth * scale) * alignmentX,
            (viewHeight - drawableHeight * scale) * alignmentY
        )
        imageMatrix = matrix
    }
}

attrs.xml:

<resources>
    <declare-styleable name="AlignmentCropImageView">
        <attr name="alignmentX" format="float" />
        <attr name="alignmentY" format="float" />
    </declare-styleable>
</resources>

This is for the top.
What if I want to make sure a specific point/rectangle is shown while fitting&cropping, keeping the aspect ratio?
How can I do it?
Currently the only similar thing that officially exists is center-crop, but it's only to the center. What if the most important part in the image is at the bottom, instead? Or 10% (or 10px) from the bottom, etc... ? Or if there is a specific region in the bitmap that's most important?
