Horizontal scroll in GridView in android

Question

I want to display image thumbnails in a gridview in one column with a horizontal scroll. I have played with many parameters but I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. Kindly someone help me. main.xml:

    <LinearLayout
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">

    <GridView
        android:layout_width="500dp"
        android:layout_height="400dp"
        android:id="@+id/grid"
        android:columnWidth="300dp"
        android:padding="5dp"
        android:horizontalSpacing="10dp"
        android:verticalSpacing="10dp"
        android:scrollbars="horizontal"
        android:stretchMode="spacingWidthUniform">
    </GridView>
</LinearLayout>

Activity Code:

//---the images to display---
Integer[] imageIDs = {
        R.drawable.library,
        R.drawable.library,
        R.drawable.library,
        R.drawable.library,
        R.drawable.library,
        R.drawable.library,
        R.drawable.library                   
};

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    GridView gridView = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.grid);
    gridView.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));
    gridView.setNumColumns(imageIDs.length);

}

public class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter
{
    private Context context;

    public ImageAdapter(Context c)
    {
        context = c;
    }

    public int getCount() {
        return imageIDs.length;
    }

    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return position;
    }

    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
    {
        ImageView imageView;
        if (convertView == null) {
            imageView = new ImageView(context);
            imageView.setLayoutParams(new GridView.LayoutParams(100, 100));
            imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
        } else {
            imageView = (ImageView) convertView;
        }
        imageView.setImageResource(imageIDs[position]);
        return imageView;
    }
}
