How can I get zoom functionality for images on Android?

This example demonstrates how do I get zoom functionality for images in android.

Step 1 − Create a new project in Android Studio, go to File ⇒ New Project and fill all required details to create a new project.

Step 2 − Add the following code to res/layout/activity_main.xml.

import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.MotionEvent;
import android.view.ScaleGestureDetector;
import android.widget.ImageView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
   private ScaleGestureDetector scaleGestureDetector;
   private float scaleFactor = 1f;
   private ImageView imageView;
   @Override
   protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
      setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
      imageView = findViewById(R.id.imageView);
      scaleGestureDetector = new ScaleGestureDetector(this, new ScaleListener());
   }
   public boolean onTouchEvent(MotionEvent motionEvent) {
      scaleGestureDetector.onTouchEvent(motionEvent);
      return true;
   }
   private class ScaleListener extends ScaleGestureDetector.SimpleOnScaleGestureListener {
      @Override
      public boolean onScale(ScaleGestureDetector scaleGestureDetector) {
         scaleFactor *= scaleGestureDetector.getScaleFactor();
         scaleFactor = Math.max(1f, Math.min(scaleFactor, 10.0f));
         imageView.setScaleX(scaleFactor);
         imageView.setScaleY(scaleFactor);
         return true;
      }
   }
}

Step 3 − Add the following code to src/MainActivity.java

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   package="app.com.sample">
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>

Step 4 − Add the following code to androidManifest.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   package="app.com.sample">
   <application
      android:allowBackup="true"
      android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
      android:label="@string/app_name"
      android:roundIcon="@mipmap/ic_launcher_round"
      android:supportsRtl="true"
      android:theme="@style/AppTheme">
      <activity android:name=".MainActivity">
         <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
         </intent-filter>
      </activity>
   </application>
</manifest>

Let's try to run your application. I assume you have connected your actual Android Mobile device with your computer. To run the app from the android studio, open one of your project's activity files and click the Run icon from the toolbar. Select your mobile device as an option and then check your mobile device which will display your default screen
