I have to use a Grid to implement Photo Browser in Android.
So, I would like to know the difference between GridView and GridLayout.
So that I shall choose the right one.
Currently I’m using GridView to display the images dynamically.
A GridView is a ViewGroup that displays items in two-dimensional scrolling grid. The items in the grid come from the ListAdapter associated with this view.
This is what you’d want to use (keep using). Because a GridView gets its data from a ListAdapter, the only data loaded in memory will be the one displayed on screen.
GridViews, much like ListViews reuse and recycle their views for better performance.
Whereas a GridLayout is a layout that places its children in a rectangular grid.
It was introduced in API level 14, and was recently backported in the Support Library.
Its main purpose is to solve alignment and performance problems in other layouts.
