Can a GridView have a footer and header just like ListView?

Question

A quick question:

In ListView I use this code:

list.addHeaderView(headerView);

How to deal with it when working on

Answer 1

You can use this. The footer appears/hides at the bottom of the grid when you reach/leave the last number of items. It does not actually scroll, but I hardly notice the difference.

In your activity/fragment's onCreate/onCreateView you add an OnScrollListener to the GridView:

    ....
    GridView gridview = (YMAnimatedGridview) v.findViewById(R.id.my_gridview);
    gridview.setAdapter(adapter);
    final View footerView = mainView
            .findViewById(R.id.my_grid_footer_view);
    gridview.setOnScrollListener(new GridView.OnScrollListener() {

        @Override
        public void onScroll(AbsListView view, int firstVisibleItem,
                int visibleItemCount, int totalItemCount) {

                if (firstVisibleItem + visibleItemCount == totalItemCount) {

                    // last item in grid is on the screen, show footer:
                    footerView.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);

                } else if (footerView.getVisibility() != View.GONE) {

                    // last item in grid not on the screen, hide footer:
                    footerView.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                }
            }

        @Override
        public void onScrollStateChanged(AbsListView view,
                int scrollState) {
        }
    });

Your layout should look something like the below. Notice the layout_weight (and layout_height) parameter in the gridview, it is needed to make the correct space for the footer when it becomes visible.
