I want to have a 2x2 grid with a buttons inside. This is only ICS so I am trying to use the new GridLayout given.
Here's the XML of my layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<GridLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:id="@+id/favorites_grid"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#00ff00"
android:rowCount="2"
android:columnCount="2">
<Button
android:text="Cell 0"
android:layout_row="0"
android:layout_column="0"
android:textSize="14dip" />
<Button
android:text="Cell 1"
android:layout_row="0"
android:layout_column="1"
android:textSize="14dip" />
<Button
android:text="Cell 2"
android:layout_row="1"
android:layout_column="0"
android:textSize="14dip" />
<Button
android:text="Cell 3"
android:layout_row="1"
android:layout_column="1"
android:textSize="14dip" />
</GridLayout>
The problem is that my views do not stretch evenly for each row. This causes a lot of extra space to the right of my GridLayout.
I tried setting layout_gravity="fill_horizontal" but that only applies to the last view on the row. This means Cell 1 stretches all the way to give enough space for Cell 0.
Thoughts on how to tackle this?
This question is related to

The answer is
I finally found the solution. As Rotemmiz said, you have to do it dynamically afterwards. This code stretches the buttons to fill the view horizontally, but the same can be done for vertically.
public void fillview(android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout gl)
{
Button buttontemp;
//Stretch buttons
int idealChildWidth = (int) ((gl.getWidth()-20*gl.getColumnCount())/gl.getColumnCount());
for( int i=0; i< gl.getChildCount();i++)
{
buttontemp = (Button) gl.getChildAt(i);
buttontemp.setWidth(idealChildWidth);
}
}
(The 20 is for the internal and external padding and margins. This could be done more universally, but this is far cleaner)
Then it can be called like this:
android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout gl = (android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout)findViewById(R.id.buttongrid);
ViewTreeObserver vto = gl.getViewTreeObserver();
vto.addOnGlobalLayoutListener(new OnGlobalLayoutListener() {@Override public void onGlobalLayout()
{
android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout gl = (android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout) findViewById(R.id.buttongrid);
fillview(gl);
ViewTreeObserver obs = gl.getViewTreeObserver();
obs.removeGlobalOnLayoutListener(this);
}});
It must be done with an observer because we need to wait for the view to be drawn before we call the views.
In my case I was adding the buttons dynamically so my solution required some XML part and some Java part. I had to find and mix solutions from a few different places and thought I will share it here so someone else looking for the similar solution might find it helpful.
First part of my layout file XML...
<android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout
xmlns:grid="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/gl_Options"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
grid:useDefaultMargins="true">
</android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout>
grid:useDefaultMargins="true" is not required but I added because that looked better to me, you may apply other visual affects (e.g. padding) as mentioned in some answers here. Now for the buttons as I have to add them dynamically. Here is the Java part of my code to make these buttons, I am including only those lines related to this context. Assume I have to make buttons from as many myOptions are available to my code and I am not copying the OnClickListener code as well.
import android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout; //Reference to Library
public class myFragment extends Fragment{
GridLayout gl_Options;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
gl_AmountOptions = (GridLayout)view.findViewById( R.id.gl_AmountOptions );
...
gl_Options.removeAllViews(); // Remove all existing views
gl_AmountOptions.setColumnCount( myOptions.length <= 9 ? 3: 4 ); // Set appropriate number of columns
for( String opt : myOptions ) {
GridLayout.LayoutParams lParams = new GridLayout.LayoutParams( GridLayout.spec( GridLayout.UNDEFINED, 1f), GridLayout.spec( GridLayout.UNDEFINED, 1f));
// The above defines LayoutParameters as not specified Column and Row with grid:layout_columnWeight="1" and grid:layout_rowWeight="1"
lParams.width = 0; // Setting width to "0dp" so weight is applied instead
Button b = new Button(this.getContext());
b.setText( opt );
b.setLayoutParams(lParams);
b.setOnClickListener( myClickListener );
gl_Options.addView( b );
}
}
}
As we are using GridLayout from support library and not the standard GridLayout, we have to tell grade about that in YourProject.grade file.
dependencies {
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'
...
compile 'com.android.support:gridlayout-v7:23.4.0'
}

Perfect for me. I hope it helps you too
Starting in API 21 the notion of weight was added to GridLayout. To support older android devices, you can use the GridLayout from the v7 support library.
The following XML gives an example of how you can use weights to fill the screen width.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

i have same problem and i think just set width and height programmatically :
set width of button's with metrics.widthPixels / 2 metrics is object of DisplayMetrics.
GridLayout gridLayout=findViewById(R.id.grid);
for (int i = 0; i <gridLayout.getChildCount() ; i++) {
View view= gridLayout.getChildAt(i);
if(view instanceof Button){
Button btn = (Button) view;
btn.setWidth(200);//metrics.widthPixels / 2
btn.setHeight(200);//metrics.heightPixels / 7
}
}
I wanted to have a centered table with the labels right aligned and the values left aligned. The extra space should be around the table. After much experimenting and not following what the documentation said I should do, I came up with something that works. Here's what I did:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<GridLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:columnCount="2"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:useDefaultMargins="true" >
<TextView
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="Short label:" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/start_time"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:text="Long extended value" />
<TextView
android:layout_gravity="right"
android:text="A very long extended label:" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/elapsed_time"
android:layout_gravity="left"
android:text="Short value" />
</GridLayout>
This seems to work but the GridLayout shows the message:
"This GridLayout layout or its LinearLayout parent is useless"
Not sure why it is "useless" when it works for me.
I'm not sure why this works or if this is a good idea, but if you try it and can provide a better idea, small improvement or explain why it works (or won't work) I'd appreciate the feedback.
Thanks.
The best solution I could find is to use a linear layout(horizontal) for each row you want and within it assign the button (cell) width to 0dp and the weight to 1. For each of the linear layouts(rows) assign the height to 0dp and the weight to 1. Find the code below- also android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" is used to align the buttons in a row in case they contain variable length text. Use of 0dp and weight it a pretty neat yet not so well known trick.
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/parent_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="@drawable/button_bue_3d"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/layout_row1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/button1"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:clickable="false"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="ssssssssssssssssssssssssss" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button2"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:clickable="false"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="sggggggg" />
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:id="@+id/layout_row2"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:orientation="horizontal" >
<Button
android:id="@+id/button3"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical"
android:text="s" />
<Button
android:id="@+id/button4"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"

</LinearLayout>
You can make this lot faster by overriding ViewGroup onLayout method. This is my universal solution:
package your.app.package;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
public class GridLayout extends ViewGroup {
public GridLayout(Context context) {
super(context);
}
@Override
protected void onLayout(boolean changed, int l, int t, int r, int b) {
final int columns = 2;//edit this if you need different grid
final int rows = 2;
int children = getChildCount();
if (children != columns * rows)
throw new IllegalStateException("GridLayout must have " + columns * rows + " children");
int width = getWidth();
int height = getHeight();
int viewWidth = width / columns;
int viewHeight = height / rows;
int rowIndex = 0;
int columnIndex = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < children; i++) {
getChildAt(i).layout(viewWidth * columnIndex, viewHeight * rowIndex, viewWidth * columnIndex + viewWidth, viewHeight * rowIndex + viewHeight);
columnIndex++;
if (columnIndex == columns) {
columnIndex = 0;
rowIndex++;
}
}
}
}
EDIT: Don't forget match_parent for children!
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
Appcompat21 GridLayout has the column and row weights which can be used like below to evenly create each grid item in the gridlayout like the image above.
<android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:grid="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
grid:alignmentMode="alignBounds"
grid:columnCount="4" >
<Button android:layout_width="0dp"
style="?buttonStyle"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:text="-1"
grid:layout_columnWeight="1"
grid:layout_rowWeight="1"
grid:layout_gravity="fill" />
...
</<android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout>
Result :
Try something like this :
final int MAX_COLUMN = gridView.getColumnCount(); //5
final int MAX_ROW = gridView.getRowCount(); //7
final int itemsCount = MAX_ROW * MAX_COLUMN; //35
int row = 0, column = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < itemsCount; i++) {
ImageView view = new ImageView(this);
//Just to provide alternate colors
if (i % 2 == 0) {
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
} else {
view.setBackgroundColor(Color.GREEN);
}
GridLayout.LayoutParams params = new GridLayout.LayoutParams(GridLayout.spec(row, 1F), GridLayout.spec(column, 1F));
view.setLayoutParams(params);
gridView.addView(view);
column++;
if (column >= MAX_COLUMN) {
column = 0;
row++;
}
}
If you want specific width and height for your cells, then use :
params.width = 100; // Your width
params.height = 100; //your height
This is a fairly old question, but obviously of interest to a lot of people. For a simple layout of 4 buttons like this, it seems that a TableLayout is the easiest way to accomplish the desired result.
Here's some example code showing the first 2 rows of a table with 6 columns spanning the width of its parent. The LinearLayout and ImageView in each cell are used to allow for the "turning on and off" of an image within the cell while having the color of the cell persist.

Here is what I did and I'm happy to say that this worked for me. I too wanted a 2x2, 3x3 etc. grid of items to cover the entire screen. Gridlayouts do not adhere to the width of the screen. LinearLayouts kind of work but you cant use nested weights.
The best option for me was to use Fragments I used this tutorial to get started with what I wanted to do.
Here is some code:
Main Activity:
public class GridHolderActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main_6);
}
}
activity_main_6 XML (inflates 3 fragments)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<fragment
android:id="@+id/frag1"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:name=".TwoHorizontalGridFragment"
tools:layout="@layout/two_horiz" />
<fragment
android:id="@+id/frag2"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:name=".TwoHorizontalGridFragment"
tools:layout="@layout/two_horiz" />
<fragment
android:id="@+id/frag3"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="0dp"
android:layout_weight="1"
android:name=".Grid.TwoHorizontalGridFragment"
tools:layout="@layout/two_horiz" />
Base fragment layout
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="horizontal"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageQueue
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/img1"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<ImageQueue
android:layout_width="0dp"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="@+id/img2"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
</LinearLayout>
Fragment Class (only handles initialization of a custom view) inflates 2 tiles per fragment
public class TwoHorizontalGridFragment extends Fragment {
private View rootView;
private ImageQueue imageQueue1;
private ImageQueue imageQueue2;
@Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater,
ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
/**
* Inflate the layout for this fragment
*/
rootView = inflater.inflate(
R.layout.two_horiz, container, false);
return rootView;
}
@Override
public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
imageQueue1 = (ImageQueue)rootView.findViewById(R.id.img1);
imageQueue2 = (ImageQueue)rootView.findViewById(R.id.img2);
imageQueue1.updateFiles();
imageQueue2.updateFiles();
}
}
Thats it!
This is a weird work around to using nested weights, essentially. It gives me a perfect 2x3 grid that fills the entire screen of both my 10 inch tablet and my HTC droid DNA. Let me know how it goes for you!

You can set width of every child dynamically:
GridLayout.LayoutParams params = (GridLayout.LayoutParams) child.getLayoutParams();
params.width = (parent.getWidth()/parent.getColumnCount()) -params.rightMargin - params.leftMargin;
child.setLayoutParams(params);
Try adding the following to your GridLayout spec. That should work.
android:useDefaultMargins="true"
