Android heterogeneous gridview like pinterest?

Is it possible to create pinterest like layout on Android using GridView? I want to create image gallery using GridView but I am not sure if it is good solution. I do not want create three LinearLayouts (I think that this solution is not good: Pinterest style listview or gridview in android)

Any ideas ;)?

Solution

  • Create layout like as follow

    <ScrollView...>
<LinearLayout....
   android:id="@+id/linear1"
   orientation="horizontal">

   <LinearLayout....
     android:id="@+id/linear2"
     android:layout_weight="0.33"
     orientation="vertical">

   <LinearLayout....
     android:id="@+id/linear3"
     android:layout_weight="0.33"
     orientation="vertical">

   <LinearLayout....
     android:layout_weight="0.33"
     orientation="vertical">

</LinearLayout>
</ScrollView>

    Now add your ImageView dynamically in layouts 

    linear1 = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linear1);
linear2 = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linear2);
linear3 = (LinearLayout) findViewById(R.id.linear3);

for(int i=0;i<n;i++)
{
   ImageView iv = new ImageView(this);
   iv.setImageResource(R.id.icon);

   int j = count % 3;  <---- 
   if(j==0)
       linear1.addView(iv);
   else if(j==1)
       linear2.addView(iv);
   else
       linear3.addView(iv); 
}

    output:
