Question

I have a requirement in that I want to implement an image gallery with a GridView.
I tried using Hello gallery on the Android developer website. But the GridView doesn’t work.

Answer 1

Use this XML for Layout : gallery.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/bg_child">

    <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/FrameLayout01"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
            android:layout_gravity="top" android:layout_height="50dp" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
            <TextView android:id="@+id/TextView01"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textStyle="bold" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_marginLeft="30dp" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:drawableLeft="@drawable/photo_frame" android:textColor="@color/grey" android:text="@string/photogallery_txt"></TextView>
            <Button android:layout_gravity="right" android:id="@+id/btnMoreInfo" android:layout_marginRight="5dp" android:layout_marginTop="5dp" android:textStyle="bold" android:background="@drawable/my_child_button" android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="40dp" android:text="@string/moreinfo_txt"></Button>
        </FrameLayout>
        <GridView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:id="@+id/gridview" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:columnWidth="90dp"
            android:numColumns="auto_fit" android:verticalSpacing="10dp"
            android:horizontalSpacing="10dp" android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
            android:gravity="center" android:layout_gravity="bottom"
            android:layout_marginTop="50dp"></GridView>
    </FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>
