How to realise a Grid of Views..?

Hello sommeralex,

"linearity" can be horizontal or vertical. Horizontal is the default for Linearlayout.

Add the following line Arrow Down

to the constructor to make it Vertical:

thx!!

but - oh my god - i mixed the meaning of horizontal with vertical (i mean i know whats hor/ver) Wink

but, i thought, if something is set to horizontal, a view then is like this

---------
a
---------
b
---------
c
---------

and if the elements are added, they come for each "addView"invocation in the next line. But, horizontal means

--- a--- b--- c ----

so, its an little excuse (that i really read the doc but just was confused about the result)

hello plusminus,

how can i make exactley the menu you are showing in the screenshot? (the screenshot and example you sent are not the same..)

A Grid View for me is something like a (dynamic) table -> i want each icon i add, to be positioned the same as in your screenshot. But which funtciton is responsible for this?

each iconText needs the full screen-line-space.. i can senter them, or align them to left, but i only have for each row one view object.

hm..

i got a sollution but i am not really happy about it:

Hello sommeralex,

oh sorry, i changed the onCreate() (after I zipped the code) to get a nicer screenshot:
This is what it finally looked like:

hello plusminus,

what if there is not enough space on the phone due to the use of 3 columns?
is the auto_fit bug mentioned as a bug at google? ( i couldnt find it in the list ->because if so, i will put it in the bug list)

Hello sommeralex,

thats the reason why the "auto-fit" exists, but it does not yet work correctly.

I've put the issue to the tracker.
Just approved that it also happens with xml-only layout (without Adapter-Stuff):

hello nice forum Wink

the iconMenu was a little challenge! the next thing to do would be to implement a "real icon menu" as described now: The trouble is, that this version now only is usable with the mouse/touch. - but what about mobile phones without a touchscreen?

how can i make make view (which containts of views) being "selectable" with KEY? and if it is selected, i want some graphical action (select-status)

hope, some can help me..

i think, it has something to do with:
Set focus: The framework will handled moving focus in response to user input. To force focus to a specific view, call requestFocus().

not really a quick reply but here you go...

where you set up your grid,

mGrid.setOnItemClickListener(mGridCardClickListener);

// for when we click on an object in the grid
AdapterView.OnItemClickListener mGridCardClickListener = new OnItemClickListener() {

@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v, int position,
long arg3) {
someClickAction((ImageView) v);
}
};

// just an example as if the items in your grid are ImageViews...
