Can a GridView have a footer and header just like ListView?

Question

A quick question:

In ListView I use this code:

list.addHeaderView(headerView); 

How to deal with it when working on gridview?

Thanks.

Answer 1

There is no support for header or footer views with GridView, sorry.

Answer 2

There is a quite good implementation of GridView with header support in Google Photos application, as it's OSS code you can use it as is or take it as a reference for your own implementation: http://grepcode.com/file/repository.grepcode.com/java/ext/com.google.android/android-apps/4.3_r2.1/com/android/photos/views/HeaderGridView.java

Basic idea is quite simple - WrapperAdapter creates an fake row by increasing number of items by number of columns and then return a header view for the item.
