I have a listview with rows as big as the device screen and I want to show row per row while sliding, I don't want to show parts of rows when doing so, is there any way of doing it.
ListViews are not made for this kind of use case. ViewPagers are, but they scroll horizontally. It's possible to make it scroll vertically (see Android: Vertical ViewPager), which should be what you're looking for.
The problem with adjusting the size of each ListView item to fill the screen is that match_parent simply doesn't work. You would need to calculate the exact size you need (screen height minus action bar and other views that are not part of the ListView). It's probably possible, but not worth the trouble.

I have a listView that is populate via a RSS feed. The height of each item on the ListView can vary depending on the length on the content. Is there a way to only add enough items to the listView to fill the screen (the listView has a fixed height).
For example if each item only has one line of text I can fit 7, but if they have two lines of text I can only fit 5. I want to be able to programmatically decide when to stop adding items. I don't want the ListView to have to scroll.
EDIT
Let me rephrase. I don't want to just solve it but scrolling down. There may at some point in the development be content that gets added below the screen and requires scrolling but even in that case I don't want half an item showing at the bottom. Basically I don't want broken/half items showing at the bottom, if it's on the screen it should be the whole item that is showing. If not it should be below the bottom of screen.
Try using a normal Linear Layout and when adding the inflated row, override the onMeasure to know if it fits on the screen.
I'm using DashboardLayout provided by romannurik (https://gist.github.com/romannurik/882650)
This layout adapt children to fit on the screen and I want to implement a vertical scroll.
I want to keep the part to measure the max child per column but if children can't fit on the view I want to be able to scroll.
Can I have any leads to reach this goal ?
Dashboards have sort of become defunct. If you expect there will be enough items that you can need to be able to scroll, then maybe you should just use a GridView.
I was looking to create a GridView that stretches across the entire screen. However, when the user first opens the screen, the top of the first item should be about halfway up the screen.
For example lets say we have a GridView of 12 items displayed 3 x 4. When the user first opens the screen, only the first six items would be seen with a large margin at the top of the screen. The user can then scroll the list to see the other items. The top items would eventually reach all the way to the top of the screen.
If I was using a ListView, this is simple. I merely create a 0dp headerView with a large top margin. But, GridViews do not allow for headers. What is the best way to handle this situation?
Normally, you DO NOT make a GridView inside a ScrollView. It's not recommended! But sometimes you have no choice and you need to addHeaderView() on a GridView (But I repeat, it isnt recommended).
So, to make this happen, you have to make a custom GridView. This answer will be usefull in your case: Grid of images inside ScrollView
I had a same situation and I used this one: HFGridView by #SergeyBurish! Very simple and really great. (See the last answer here: A GridView with header and footer).
Hope this will be helpful.
I have a listview and its rows have different heights.
When I scroll up, rows appear to move up or down erratically.
(I don't find the behavior when I scroll down)
I suspect its due to the fact
listView picks one of used rows
the row is placed on top of visible rows.
listView changes the row's height(here erratic movement)
but it's a guess.
I tried googling since this should be a common problem but couldn't find any.
In this case, setting the right item height did the trick :

Edit: oh, and make sure you recycle the items correctly :

When I put a HorizontalScrollView around a GridView, the GridView gets compressed into a small column on the left. The Gridview's vertical scrollbar even appears on the left. The HorizontalScrollView's width is set to fill_parent and the GridView is also fill_parent. I don't know why this is happening.
I tried setting the GridView's visibility to GONE and VISIBILE like someone recommended but it doesn't do anything. However if fastScroll is enabled on the GridView, then dragging the fast scroll tab vertically causes the GridView to expand horizontally and it keeps expanding past the last column.
I understand now why this cannot be done. There should be a way to force the GridView to load all horizontal items and allow horizontal scrolling.
The better choice would be for them to implement some kind of DataGrid control. Most people are under the impression that GridView like a DataGrid.
