Horizontal scrolling in android gridview

Question

I think your best bet is to use a Gallery and implement an adapter that provides a multirow view in its getView method. See Hello Gallery and look at the ImageAdapter implementation within.

Instead of the ImageView that getView returns in that example, you can, for example, inflate your own custom layout, for example a LinearLayout with vertical orientation.

You might consider a TableLayout inside a HorizontalScrollView, but the disadvantage there is that everything will be in memory at once, making it difficult to scale to lots of items. The Gallery recycles Views and offers some resource advantages.
