Android: make the size of a custom view bigger than the size of screen

Question

enter image description here I have a custom view and the user can draw rectangles(I used canvas). I would make the size of custom view bigger than the size of the screen. So, the user can draw not only in the size of screen. I tried ScrollView and NestedScrollView but they are not helpful to solve my problem.

Answer 1

As far as I could understand from this question is you want to make a canvas where someone can draw some pictures. So you need a bigger canvas to that user can drag the positions to left-right, up and down. If I understood correctly, then I would say, you might think of a different work-around instead of looking for a view bigger than the screen size.

You can think of an simple ImageView which will be auto zoomed-in and if the user clicks twice it'll zoom-out. The user can drag the positions of the ImageView whenever he wants.

Here's an SO answer about how you can implement the zoom in and out in an ImageView . Hope this will help to solve your problem.
