GridListViewAdapters

This libarary enables you to implement GridView like card layout within ListView with added capabilites like Paginations, Addition of Header-Footer Views, also simplifies implemention for both List & Cursor data.

This library is designed on [ViewHolder] (http://developer.android.com/training/improving-layouts/smooth-scrolling.html#ViewHolder) design pattern, it provides an easier way of linking linear data to grid alligned Views. The GridListViewAdapters will do most of tedious work for you & all you have to do is create your small modular classes & link them together.

Looking for ListView with multiple row-types support, check EasyListViewAdapters.

Features

Enables user to add Headers & Footers with your Grid, as its a ListView afterall.
Supports flexible number of cards in both screen orientation.
Provides readymade PositionCalculator class which enables user to maintain correct position after orientation change(In case number of cards in both orienations are different).

Auto converts user's linear data to grid-struture & renders it.
No data browsing, Library takes care of browsing data through Grid-structure when View is being drawn or event occurs so that Users does not have to look for their data to take actions.
Card views can be created by using XML or Java (doesn't restrict to XML-Only Approach).
Load More callbacks can be registered to implement paginatation support to your list.
Handles empty cards as well during pagination & auto replaces empty cards when more data is added.
Handling children viewclicks, you can also register for Children(present inside your Cards) view click events. All these Views are registered with single OnClickListner so that this mechanism is very memory efficient when click event occurs users you gets clickedChildView, cardData,int eventId as callback params.
