I've done further tests on this and the description of the problem wasn't entirely accurate.
If I set up a RelativeLayout and put a ViewImage (with the image on the background - not the src) so that it's partly inside and partly outside the screen bounds, the image will scale rather than clip. I am seeing the same result when preforming a frame-to-frame animation on the image, but it's easier to show using a static background image. This is the Layout XML for the example (using the icon as it's there as a default image) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <RelativeLayout android:id="@+id/RelativeLayout01" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:clipChildren="false" android:clipToPadding="false"> <ImageView android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@+id/ImageView01" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_marginLeft="300dp" android:background="@drawable/icon"> </ImageView> </RelativeLayout> Using the above layout you can see the scaling happen in the Graphical Layout view in Eclipse (using "2.7 in QVGA config). So how can I make this clip rather than scale? As far as I know, I have to use the background rather than source so that I can add my frame-by-frame animation to it.
