Question

Can we use scale gesture detector for pinch zoom in Android?

Answer 1

yes we can here is the sample code where onPinch() and onZoom() are actions to be implement on your own

public class simpleOnScaleGestureListener extends
        SimpleOnScaleGestureListener {

    @Override
    public boolean onScale(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {
        startScale = detector.getScaleFactor();
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onScaleBegin(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public void onScaleEnd(ScaleGestureDetector detector) {
        endScale = detector.getScaleFactor();



        if (startScale > endScale) {
            Log.i("onScaleEnd", "Pinch Dection");
            onPinch();
        } else if (startScale < endScale) {
            Log.i("onScaleEnd", "Zoom Dection");
            onZoom();
        }


    }
