How to create a wrapping horizontal list [duplicate]
I'm attempting to create a list view in Android that shows clickable items that wrap horizontally much like the "To" field in the OS X and iPhone's Mail programs. They have a horizontal list of names that wrap vertically and each name is a separate object, the list is not just a single string. My questions are:
Is there a way to do this with a ListView or some other type of AdapterView? Everything I've seen and experimented with is either horizontal scrolling or vertically stacking, but not horizontal wrapping.
Are you aware of an existing app with available source that has a view like this that I could look at as an example? The Google Mail/SMS apps just has a single string in the too field that isn't clickable.

I think you'll have to create custom view for that. The closes i can think of would be a Gallery and you can look at it's source. In theory all you need a view that extends one of layouts and then you add bunch of child views to it, preferably via adapter. YouView.setAdapter
This session has good example of creating custom view. Not sure where is the source though- should be in aosp if they didn't remove it http://code.google.com/events/io/2009/sessions/SupportingMultipleDevicesBinary.html

Check workspaceview, http://code.google.com/p/andro-views/source/browse/trunk/src/org/jared/commons/ui/WorkspaceView.java?r=2
It may need some customization to get exactly the right UI effect.

java - Android: Crash on rotation, horizontal to vertical
I'm playing around with android, and I'm creating a simple twitter app to test what I've learned so far. But I've run into a problem that I don't understand. I created a thread to fetch the tweets, no problems there, but then added a ProgressDialog to show when that thread was running. Doing so caused a very unusual behavior. If the user rotates from Vertical orientation, to horizontal orientation, program behaves as e...

android - Horizontal "tab"ish scroll between views
I'm interested in creating a horizontal scroll view that "snaps" to the viewed item, so only one item is ever shown at a time. The user can touch-drag left/right and will see previous/next views, switching to it if there's enough velocity. This interaction is exactly like what the new weather/news widget that comes with the Nexus One does for navigating between its "tabs".
Are there any existing view widgets that d...

Horizontal ListView in Android?
Is it possible to make the ListView horizontally? I have done this using a gallery view, but the selected item comes to the center of the screen automatically. I don't want the selected item at the same spot I clicked. How can I rectify this problem? My idea was to set the ListView with a horizontal scroll. Share your idea?
