We need to just have a custom adapter and populate the GridView elements with custom adapter. It is similar to populating a ListView with Custom Adapter.

In this example I have explained how to how to make a custom grid with Text and Image and poipulate it's content through Custom Adapter.

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MainActivity" >
<GridView
android:id="@+id/gridViewCustom"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_margin="4dp"
android:columnWidth="80dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:numColumns="auto_fit"
android:stretchMode="columnWidth" />
</RelativeLayout>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="5dp" >
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="50dp"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp"
android:src="@drawable/ic_launcher" >
</ImageView>
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="5dp"
android:textSize="15sp" >
</TextView>
</LinearLayout>
{
GridView gridView;
GridViewCustomAdapter grisViewCustomeAdapter;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
gridView=(GridView)findViewById(R.id.gridViewCustom);
// Create the Custom Adapter Object
grisViewCustomeAdapter = new GridViewCustomAdapter(this);
// Set the Adapter to GridView
gridView.setAdapter(grisViewCustomeAdapter);
// Handling touch/click Event on GridView Item
gridView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View v, int position, long arg3) {
String selectedItem;
if(position%2==0)
selectedItem="Facebook";
else
selectedItem="Twitter";
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),"Selected Item: "+selectedItem, Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
});
}
}
public class GridViewCustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter
{
Context context;
public GridViewCustomAdapter(Context context)
{
super(context, 0);
this.context=context;
}
public int getCount()
{
return 24;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
{
View row = convertView;
if (row == null)
{
LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity) context).getLayoutInflater();
row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.grid_row, parent, false);
TextView textViewTitle = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textView);
ImageView imageViewIte = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
if(position%2==0)
{
textViewTitle.setText("Facebook");
imageViewIte.setImageResource(R.drawable.facebook);
}
else
{
textViewTitle.setText("Twitter");
imageViewIte.setImageResource(R.drawable.twitter);
}
}
return row;
}
}
