How to drag the screen without the objects in 2D

So I am experimenting with 2D Android games. And I am wondering if there is a way to drag ONLY the screen and have all (or most objects) remain in their original position. Is something like this possible or would you have to cheese it by moving the objects instead of the screen? And if anyone would kindly help me figure out how to do that I would appreciate it.

To display something you always use a camera, just move the camera to move your screen, same for both 3D and 2D.
