    private void init() {

    }

    private void recomputeImgMatrix() {

        if (drawable == null) {

        final Matrix matrix = getImageMatrix();

        float scale;
        final int viewWidth = getWidth() - getPaddingLeft() - getPaddingRight();

            scale = (float) viewHeight / (float) drawableHeight;
        } else {
            scale = (float) viewWidth / (float) drawableWidth;
        }

        matrix.setScale(scale, scale);
        setImageMatrix(matrix);
    }
}

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?
