How to add a TextView to a GridView in Android

Question

I already know how to add String\'s to a gridView in android however I want to add textviews to format the text( Gravity, color, etc). This is my current code:

Answer 1

try it with something like this

gridview.xml

item.xml

Custom adapter class for textView

public class TextViewAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
        private Context context;
        private final String[] textViewValues;

        public TextViewAdapter(Context context, String[] textViewValues) {
            this.context = context;
            this.textViewValues = textViewValues;
        }

        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

            LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context
                .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

            View gridView;

            if (convertView == null) {

                gridView = new View(context);

                // get layout from mobile.xml
                gridView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.item, null);

                // set value into textview
                TextView textView = (TextView) gridView
                        .findViewById(R.id.grid_item_label);
                textView.setText(textViewValues[position]);  
            } else {
                gridView = (View) convertView;
            }

            return gridView;
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return textViewValues.length;
        }

        @Override
        public Object getItem(int position) {
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        public long getItemId(int position) {
            return 0;
        }

    }

and then , finally set adapter in your main class

gridView.setAdapter(new TextViewAdapter(this, YOUR_ARRAY_WITH_TEXT_FOR_TEXTVIEWS));

also note that you can pass any other values like color of text and as another argument in constructor and then set them in adapter like ...

textView.setColor(textViewColors[position]); 

for attributes that all textview have in common you can change the item.xml only :) i hope it helped you ....
