Grid order not consistent

[booker0108]

Hi, I am developing an application that using the staggered grid view.

I have to load 4 different size images from server to form a bottom-level grid view which I designed and order the data to do so.

The correct order should be like below:

However, the view is now randomly place the 3rd image each time(sometime on left and sometime on right), and thus it makes the grid view finally in irregular shape.

How can I prevent this issue?

Temporary fix for those want simple order from left to right

As the SGV always try to find the shortest column to put the next child, I modified the code to make its ordering in simple left to right order

private int getChildColumn(final int position, final boolean flowDown) { if(position < mColumnCount) return position; else return position%mColumnCount; }

My views have the same height but i have the same issue. Unfortunately, in my case, the workaround is ordering it from right to left. The left-most view of the last row is empty if the last row isn't completely filled with childrens.

@Bapho I am fine with my fix. I just wonder why you don't use official gridview if your views have same dimension?

@booker0108 I used different dimensions before. Plus headers, footers and variable column counts for landscape and portrait mode.

If you want a right to left order, please try below code(I haven't tried it)

private int getChildColumn(final int position, final boolean flowDown) { int newPosition = position%mColumnCount;

return mColumnCount-newPosition; }

I wanted a left-to-right order but your code isnt working if using headers. So i used this code:

private int getChildColumn( final int position, final boolean flowDown ) {

        return ( position - getHeaderViewsCount() ) % mColumnCount;
