Using Gridview Layout Inwards Android

So, lately I've been relearning android evolution as well as equally I expected at that topographic point were already a lot of changes since I final code inwards it (eclair). Like the concept of Fragment (which I love), unfortunately statistics exhibit that almost of the users are yet using API 10 (Gingerbread), as well as thus I'm sticking amongst it :-).

What I would similar to attain correct straight off is a card using grid view, as well as here's how I code it.

1.) We involve a MainActivity where nosotros volition charge the GridView:

@Override protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);   GridView menuGrid = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.menu);  menuGrid.setAdapter(new MenuAdapter(this));   menuGrid.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {   populace void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View v,     int position, long id) {    Toast.makeText(MainActivity.this, "" + position,      Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();   }  }); } 

2.) The MenuAdapter, that volition serve equally the interface betwixt the information (string array, db) as well as the view:

public cast MenuAdapter extends BaseAdapter {  someone Context context;  someone String[] labels;  someone int[] images = { R.drawable.menu_1, R.drawable.menu_2,    R.drawable.menu_3, R.drawable.menu_4 };   populace MenuAdapter(Context context) {   this.context = context;   this.labels = context.getResources().getStringArray(R.array.menu_items);  }   @Override  populace int getCount() {   furnish this.labels.length;  }   @Override  populace Object getItem(int arg0) {   furnish null;  }   @Override  populace long getItemId(int position) {   furnish 0;  }   @Override  populace View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {    TextView textView = (TextView) convertView;    if (textView == null) {    textView = (TextView) View.inflate(context, R.layout.menu_item,      null);   }    textView.setText(this.labels[position]);   textView.setCompoundDrawablesWithIntrinsicBounds(0, images[position],     0, 0);    furnish textView;  } } 

3.) The layouts/views: MainActivity

<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" >      <include         android:layout_width="fill_parent"         android:layout_height="wrap_content"         layout="@layout/menu" />  </RelativeLayout> 

Menu (Note that nosotros role chemical compound stance (icon/text))

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <GridView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:id="@+id/menu"     android:layout_width="match_parent"     android:layout_height="match_parent"     android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"     android:horizontalSpacing="5dp"     android:numColumns="2"     android:verticalSpacing="20dp" /> 

MenuItem

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"     android:id="@+id/menuItem"     android:layout_width="wrap_content"     android:layout_height="wrap_content"     android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"     android:drawableTop="@drawable/icon"     android:gravity="center_horizontal"     android:text="@string/common_label"     android:textColor="@color/menu_item" /> 

4.) And the resource: strings

 <string-array name="menu_items">         <item>Menu 1</item>         <item>Menu 2</item>         <item>Menu 3</item>         <item>Menu 4</item>     </string-array>
