  1. POHow to stop drawing GridView items BEFORE the parent View becomes scrollable?
    text
    copied!<p>I'm trying to populate a <code>ViewFlipper</code> with a <code>GridView</code>, but with a paging capability rather than scrolling. The <code>GridView</code> will fill out a single "page" (one complete page without scrolling), and start filling out the next View in the <code>ViewFlipper</code> with the next bit of the data set.</p> <p>I need to dynamically fill the pages, as the screen sizes will vary. This <code>GridView</code> sports a custom adapter class with a <code>getView()</code> override, so I was thinking the most elegant solution would be to draw the view as normal in the <code>GridView</code>, but this is where I run into some confusion:</p> <p>Two things:</p> <p>How can i tell the <code>getView()</code> function to write the <code>GridView</code> items to the next <code>View</code> in the <code>ViewFlipper</code>? And by that token, how can I know when the screen fills to just before the scroll bar pops up (I don't want scrollable lists, which was the whole point in using a <code>ViewFlipper</code>).</p> <p>Or is there a better solution that i just haven't found yet? I couldn't find an example in the API demos and little info here on stackoverflow except this, which got me started, but I still need the above two suggestions to make this solution work (unless there's something better): <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5563749/android-viewflipper-not-flipping">Android ViewFlipper not flipping</a></p> <p>The GridView adapter:</p> <pre><code>// custom adapter made for the GridView public class ButtonAdapter extends BaseAdapter { private Context mContext; private List&lt;Map&lt;String, String&gt;&gt; mData; private int mLayout; public ButtonAdapter(Context c, int layout, List&lt;Map&lt;String, String&gt;&gt; list) { this.mContext = c; this.mData = list; this.mLayout=layout; } public int getCount() { return mData.size(); } public Object getItem(int position) { return mData.get(position); } public long getItemId(int position) { return position; } public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) { Button btn = null; if(convertView==null) { convertView = inflater.inflate(this.mLayout, null); } btn = (Button)convertView.findViewById(R.id.grid_btn); if(btn != null) { //btn.setPadding(8,8,8,8); btn.setText(mData.get(position).get("label")); btn.setId(position); } return convertView; } } </code></pre>

An individual column

Larger individual text columns get their own page to allow for proper reading.
