Normally, <code>getItem()</code> + should return the actual object at the specified position in our Adapter, but for this Hello World, + we're not going to bother. Likewise, <code>getItemId()</code> should return the row id of + the item, but right now we don't care.</p> + <p>However, <code>getView()</code> is the method we care about. This one creates a new View for each image that we + put in our ImageAdapter. So we're going to create an ImageView each time. When this is called, we're + going to receive a View, which is likely a recycled View object (at least after the first call), so we + check for this—if it's null, we initialize the ImageView and setup all the properties we want. + The <code>LayoutParams()</code> initialization sets the height and width of the View—this ensures + that no matter the drawable size, each image is resized and cropped to fit in the ImageView (if necessary). + With <code>setScaleType()</code>, we say that images should be cropped toward the center (if necessary). + And finally, we set the padding within the ImageView. (Note that, if the images have various aspect-ratios, + as they do in this demo, then less padding will cause for more cropping of the image, if it does not match + the dimensions given to the ImageView.) At the end of <code>getView()</code> we set the image resource and + return the ImageView.</p> + <p>All that's left is our array or drawable resources at the bottom.</p> +</li> +<li>Run it.</li> +</ol> +<p>Your grid layout should look something like this:</p> +<img src="images/hello-gridview.png" width="150px" /> + +<p>Try experimenting with the behaviors of the GridView and ImageView by adjusting their properties.
