Question

I displayed image and text in a gridview. i.e. Each item consists of one image and one text. It works fine. But I would like to know how to set the border of each gridview item separately in android.

Answer 1

1) create a attrs.xml under res>value folder.

2) Add a resource :

<declare-styleable name="Gallery1">
        <attr name="android:galleryItemBackground" />
 </declare-styleable>

3) Add following code in your respective activity:

TypedArray a = obtainStyledAttributes(R.styleable.Gallery1);
int mGalleryItemBackground = a.getResourceId(
                    R.styleable.Gallery1_android_galleryItemBackground, 0);
a.recycle();

4) then set the mGalleryItemBackground as the background of your view. You will get a border outside your view.
For example:

imageView.setBackgroundResource(mGalleryItemBackground);
