This page gives a good summary of the different built in layout objects. From your description a GridView or possibly a TableLayout might work. GalleryView looks to be horizontal only.
I believe GridView is what you're looking for. Here's a tutorial: developer.android.com/resources/tutorial....
Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure if GridView can do everything that I'm looking for (specifically "snapping" to center a grid item. I'm sure I could code that in though, but are you aware of any specific views that could help with that?) – Matt D May 6 '10 at 22:19.
You should check out the ViewPager widget, which is available in the Android compatibility package. I spent a loooong time trying to get the Gallery widget to behave properly, but finally settled on a ViewPager which returned ImageView objects instead. Works like a charm.
I'm trying to create a "scrollable" layout in Android. Even using developers.android.com, though, I feel a little bit lost at the moment. I'm somewhat new to Java, but not so much that I feel I should be having these issues--being new to Android is the bigger problem right now.
The layout I'm trying to create should scroll in a sort of a "grid". I THINK what I'm looking for is the Gallery view, but I'm really lost as to how to implement it at the moment. I want it to "snap" to center the frame, like in the actual Gallery application.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
