It would be a matter of debate from the UX folks, and I say this from
years of prior working at a handset manufacturer. On a small screen,
the need for scrolling in both directions is not really that common,
nor that desirable. I don't have insights on why Android does not
support scrolling functionality in both directions in a single view/
widget, but I guess it maybe for the same reason.
That being said, have you solved your current issue of displaying the
image as you wish to ?
You could also scale your image to fit the screen, but I assume you
already thought about that.
Take care,
