# PhotoView v1.1

**[Chris Banes](https://daily.dev/sources/chrisbanes)** · 3 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

PhotoView v1.1 is a major update to an Android library for multi-touch image viewing with pinch-zoom and drag support. Key improvements include better handling of scrolling ViewGroups like ViewPager, a fix for missing touch slop causing erratic drag behavior, and a significant refactor introducing PhotoViewAttacher — a class that attaches zoom/touch functionality to any existing ImageView without requiring class inheritance. This makes integration far simpler for projects with existing ImageView hierarchies.
