How to create a view that is bigger than the screen?

by

Ok I got an answer. It is not very nice because it uses a deprecated View class but it works at least on my current testing screen resolution other resolutions are tested tomorrow.

I wrapped the view that I wanted to expand beyond the screen in an absolute layout like this: 

<AbsoluteLayout
  android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="fill_parent"
  android:layout_alignParentBottom="true">

  <ImageView
     android:id="@+id/content"
     android:layout_width="600dip"
     android:layout_height="420dip"
     android:scaleType="centerCrop"
     android:layout_x="-200dip"
     android:layout_y="60dip"
     android:src="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3813049/@color/testcolor" />

</AbsoluteLayout>

The -200 x coordinate makes the view stick 200dip out of the left side of the screen. If I’m animating the view those parts that are outside the screen will gradually become visible.
