Question

How would you implement a layout with multiple columns, where the rows of each column don’t line up? I’m thinking of something like:

----------
|  |  |  |
|  |  |  |
|--|  |  |
|  |--|  |
|--|  |--|
|  |--|  |

...

And so on. An example of something like this is a website like Pinterest.

I’m looking for best practices here from experienced Android devs. Does it make sense to use multiple ListViews and keep them in sync somehow? Is there a better way?

There is a new development going on for StaggeredGridView, see this project: https://github.com/maurycyw/StaggeredGridView
(via androidviews.net). It’s pretty much like the Pinterest app layout.
