Contents not rendering outside GestureFrameLayout even if clipping is set to false

I have a GestureFrameLayout that is at on an arbitrary position with an arbitrary size (let’s say 300dp by 300dp at center of screen) and I’d like to zoom in to its contents and allow them to show outside the GestureFrameLayout itself. I tried setting any clipping I could think of to false (to children, to the gesture layout itself and to any parents above them), but nothing is drawn outside its bounds whenever I zoom or move the contents inside the GestureFrameLayout.

Is it suppose to clip the contents even if the GestureFrameLayout is set to not clip its children? Is there a way to correct this issue?

As said you need to set android:clipChildren="false" to the parent view(s) not to the GestureFrameLayout. GestureFrameLayout itself does not clip its children, but its parents are clipping it by default.

In the sample app I’m using “merge” as parent tag, you cannot set android:clipChildren="false" to it. Instead you should either change it to FrameLayout or disable children clipping from code.

I’ll close this issue as it is not related to the library.

It does work indeed if I set the GestureViewLayout inside the FrameLayout like you mentioned, thanks for the the explanation. I did not notice it was being merged at first, now it make sense.
