How to make grid view scroll horizontally not vertically in android?

Question

I have a dynamic Grid View. Means its content varies. So, if the number of items increases it makes vertical scroll. I want to make it as horizontal scroll.

Please suggest some solution for this.

I tried this. But it was asking for fixed content in the grid. — Sanchit Paurush, Apr 10 '13 at 07:11

        <HorizontalScrollView
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_below="@+id/seatLegendLayout">

        <FrameLayout
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="match_parent">

            <LinearLayout
                android:id="@+id/linearLayout_gridtableLayout"
                android:layout_width="900dp"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:orientation="horizontal">

                <GridView
                    android:id="@+id/gridView1"
                    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_margin="4dp"
                    android:columnWidth="100dp"
                    android:gravity="center"
                    android:numColumns="9"
                    android:horizontalSpacing="1dp"
                    android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawHorizontalTrack="true"
                    android:scrollbarAlwaysDrawVerticalTrack="true"
                    android:scrollbars="horizontal"
                    android:stretchMode="none"
                    android:verticalSpacing="1dp">

                </GridView>


            </LinearLayout>
        </FrameLayout>
    </HorizontalScrollView>

I use your nested structure and added adapter like doc says, but only 3 image appears under each other and drig is not scrollable, do you know why? https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/layout/gridview.html — János, Jul 12 '16 at 06:06

you can use third party library two-way grid view. it works great for horizontal scrolling or you can use RecyclerView

You can try putting the GridView in a HorizontalScrollView. You may try to set fixed height to the GridView inside the HorizontalScrollView.

Then you can dynamically calculate the number of columns of the GridView based on your content and use setNumColumns(int) method to set it.

It doesn't work. It just tries to crunch all the items into the viewport, yet no horizontal scroll appears – midnight Jan 22 '14 at 06:32
You may try to set fixed width to the `GridView` inside the `HorizontalScrollView`. – jaibatrik Jul 14 '14 at 11:18
This defies the whole idea of `GridView` (as an `AdapterView`) and views reusing – Michał Klimczak Oct 07 '14 at 11:55
