Android Question Horizontal and Vertical Image Scrolling

[anglia]

I've got a large chart diagram that I've chopped into 40 horizontal x 20 vertical image files (PNG).
All of the 800 images are square (256 x 256 pixels) and on average are about 30KB in size.

I want to be able to scroll the images horizontally and vertically to view any part of the chart.

I've looked at warwound's OSMDroid and Erel's Sliding Panels, but I can't get both horizontal and vertical scrolling.

Does anyone have any ideas about other methods I can look at or can suggest ways that I can do this.

Thanks

You could use a 2dcsv (not sure of the name) 2D custom scroll view...
It allows the inner panel to be scrollable in both vertical and horizontal directions

Thanks Cableguy

I've looked at the 2DCSV example but it seems that it works only on a single image and lets you move around and look at different areas of the single image.

That's not what I want. I want to be able to display one of the 800 images and have a button to replace the image with an adjacent image, sliding in from above, below left or right.

I guess that Erel's SlidingPanels example is the nearest thing to what I'm after, but I need to be able to slide panels vertically AND horizontally.

I hope someone can suggest a way of doing this.

You can always try to create your own custom view and make it act exactly as you want...
ie: place a panel to be the view parent (or use mBase for it) place an array of image views, and finally add a scrollbar to each side (V/H)
Then code away!

Additionally check if 800 images loaded at once may result in OOM.

256x256x4 byte = 256kb for each image approx. 4 = 1mb. At 800 images you´ll need about 200 mb of ram (probably OOM)
