Question

I’m trying to build an application in android wherein I need to display the items in the list in a manner similar to the Icon View in Windows File Explorer (only the thumbnail and the name is displayed). In C#, I can achieved this through the ListView control. Is there an equivalent component in Android that has the same functionality as a ListView control in C#?

EDIT

Here’s a link to an image similar to what I want to achieved.

Based on your image, you’re looking for the GridView widget:

Also, there’s a great tutorial on how to load images into a GridView on the Android training site:
