I am working on a custom launcher application. For this reason I created a custom GridView that displays all installed applications.
The problem is that when I scroll through the apps, the gridview has a weird behavior. Sometimes it will break the horizontal alignment because of a multiline application name. Sometimes the scrolling bounds go crazy and you end up scrolling outside the gridview.
Here is a video of the problems I describe above. I am using the following code.
public class CustomGridView extends BaseAdapter{
private Context mContext;
private List<Application> app;
public CustomGridView(Context c, List<Application> app) {
super();
mContext = c;
this.app = app;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return app.size();
}
@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return app.get(position).appPkg;
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return 0;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder view;
if (convertView == null) {
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) mContext.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.grid_item, null);
view = new ViewHolder();
view.appName = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.grid_text);
view.appIcon = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.grid_image);
convertView.setTag(view);
} else {
view = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
}
view.appName.setText(app.get(position).appName);
view.appIcon.setImageDrawable(app.get(position).appIcon);
return convertView;
}
static class ViewHolder
{
ImageView appIcon;
TextView appName;
}
}
For the grid_item I use the following.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:padding="10dp"
android:layout_marginBottom="10dp"
android:gravity="fill_horizontal|center_horizontal">
<ImageView
android:layout_height="62dp"
android:id="@+id/grid_image"
android:layout_width="62dp"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"/>
<TextView
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/grid_text"
android:layout_marginTop="2dp"
android:textSize="12sp"
android:ellipsize="marquee"
android:gravity="center|center_horizontal" android:textAlignment="center"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"/>
</LinearLayout>
And here is the activity layout
<GridView
android:id="@+id/gridView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:columnWidth="80dp"
android:gravity="center"
android:numColumns="auto_fit"
android:stretchMode="columnWidth" android:layout_marginLeft="5dp" android:layout_marginRight="5dp"
android:layout_alignParentEnd="true"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" android:layout_alignParentTop="true">
</GridView>
