Change your adapter to serve out the items in that order. Or, rewrite GridView. Note that your example shows a mismatch of columns (4 in first row, 3 in others), which GridView does not support, except for the last row. > Also I like to be able to enforce a column move in getView.

If you do not need selection events and your roster of items is small enough (<100), the new GridLayout in Android 4.0, wrapped in a ScrollView, can probably handle what you need. I think I saw a backport of GridLayout for earlier versions of Android floating around GitHub. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 3.7 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
