Hello Killswitch,

I think(!) that i've read somewhere that there is no attribute like 'android:drawGridLines="true"'.
But you could do like the following:

Set the BackGround of the GridView to Black.
Set 1-2 pixels to 'android:horizontalSpacing' and 'android:verticalSpacing'.
Set The BackGroud of the View-Elements to White.

This will result in a kind of GridLines.

Let us know if it helped you.
