How to set a fixed number of rows in android gridView?

Question

I am trying to create one gridView in android which have 10 rows and 10 columns.How can I set a fixed number of rows in Gridview ?

Answer 1

GridView is not really designed for this purpose, it is designed to display an indefinite amount of data in an efficient scrolling manner. If you want to create a static layout where you can discretely place items at specific locations, you should be looking at GridLayout or TableLayout instead.

Answer 2

i dont recommend that but if you use API 14 greater than 14 you can use this code set number of column and rows

from xml

 <GridLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/GridLayout1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:columnCount="2"
    android:rowCount="2"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    tools:context=".GridXMLActivity" >

From Java

setRowCount(int rownumber );

enjoy

Answer 3

I used something like this, it isn't GridView but I had the similar issue and GridLayout helped me a lot:

<GridLayout
    android:id="@+id/bottom_recycle_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:columnCount="10"
    android:rowCount="10"

You will have 10 rows and 10 columns.
