If this is a jpeg file then you can use the JPEG library to only load this part.
Otherwise you will need to load the complete image and use Canvas to draw part of it to the ImageView.
ok, i try to use canvas but without result
this is my code
Dim Canvas1 As Canvas
Dim DestRect As Rect
Dim SrcRect As Rect
Activity.LoadLayout("320p")
slika.initialize(File.DirRootExternal, "z.jpg")
DestRect.Initialize(10dip, 10dip, 10dip + 100dip, 10dip + 100dip)
SrcRect.initialize (0,0,30,30)
Canvas1.DrawBitmap(slika, SrcRect, DestRect)
iv1.SetBackgroundImage (Canvas1.Bitmap)
it freezes on canvas1.drawbitmap
???
so... i just need that connection between canvas and imageview because later i want imageview to be "clickable"
