Which View/Widget can be used to display images on the screen one at a time by swiping horizontally?

I have a list view in which I want each list item will contain images. But the images will be displayed one at a time. SO, at a time for every list item only one image will be displayed. To view other images in the list item,one has to swipe horizontally. Is there any inbuilt widget that handles this in android?
EDIT1
My List item not only has Image but it also contains other views like textview, seekbar etc. So each list item will contain Image, textview, seekbar etc but the majority of the space will be occupied by the Image. Now, for each list item, when the image is swiped horizontally, another image has to be downloaded from a ulr and displayed.
EDIT2
I did a bit of research on ViewPager but many references like the answers here and this blog seem to suggest that using ViewPager inside a listview is not a good idea. Why is that? If it is not a good idea, what is a good alternative?

This problem can be solved by using ViewPager.

ViewPager(for swiping between views) + UniversalImageLoader(for loading images from URLs, with caching etc)

If it is not, what is a good alternative?
I think you should use RecyclerView with LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL. All things like recycling the views, view holder design pattern can be done easily with it and it is a new widget that google introduced and you can use it instead of ListView + ViewPager. because as you suggested it is not recommended to use viewpager inside listview. Although you can use horizontalScrollView but it dose not recycle the view. Other third party library like this exist but I recommend you use RecyclerView with LinearLayoutManager.HORIZONTAL because it is from google and it is normally tested more than people library. And another thing is you can use other layout manager like GridLayoutManager or having for example 3 rows that swiping horizontally or other good effects like adding animation and .... that google provided with RecyclerView.
For downloading the images you can use Picasso,Volley, Universal Image Loader or a lot of other libraries that exist.
Happy Coding :-)

Not sure I'm following you, but rather than a ListView wouldn't it be simpler to use ViewPager with simple Fragment that wraps a single image at a time. That way you get horizontal swiping "for free".

Do you just want swipe to change images? Or do you want the images to scroll as you swipe? For the former, you can just use a GestureDetector. For the latter you would probably use a ViewPager. See http://developer.android.com/training/animation/screen-slide.html

I have achieved the same functionality by using ViewPager, you can either put the SeekBar and TextView in the Fragment class off which you are gonna make multiple instances for each item and add to the pageradapter,
You can also add the TextView and SeekBar above the ViewPager Layout in your main fragment layout file and change the text and data on seekbar on viewpager's on item change listener, this looks more neat and this is the approach i've used

pintrest like android scrollview with two list views

pintrest like android scrollview
Basically I am looking to have two list views which scroll only together (not separately) when I scroll the screen. (Like if they where in the same scroll view)
Each if the list items of course most remain clickable. Each if the items in each list can have different lengths, so no I can't have a single adapter.
Thanks

The Trick is ListView withing a ListView. You need to have a main listview and then a layout that holds other two listview. The subsequest scroll can be sync between those both using onScrollListener and sync between them. Its quite a project by itself but you could give a try.
Another way is to build a custom view which you want to display as pInterest, might take more than expected time.

there are a lot of libraries for that, here are some of them

What is the best way to implement Header support in GridView?

Everyone knows that GridView does not supports headers and footers like a ListView.
There is a few ways to implementing this:
Use a ListView and form columnt manually via ViewGroups. It not works for me, because it's require a lot of layout operations like measuring and layouting, and it's difficult to implement draw selector on top.
Use special adapter. It works fine with a footer: we should fill last cells with a Space and manually insert after them out footer with width that equals GridView width. But this not works with headers: although header is stretched, next cells float on it.
Use a GridLayout. GridLayout is good, but what about performance with 500-1000 cells? AdapterView supports caching and reusing Views, as far as I know, this is not possible with GridLayout.
Extend GridView and write custom class, that allows to draw a header before the grid content. It's difficult, but it's should work very fast. Let's try to figure out how to do this:
Measure the header. It's very simple, I have not questions about this.
Layout header in the top of the grid. We also should consider with scrolling position to allow move header with whole grid content, so my first question is: how to know where bottom border should be located while scrolling?
Layout whole grid content after the header. How to do that? I've newer do this before.
Dispatch draw to the header view too and resolve overscrolling effect if it's not work well.
Handle the scroll event and refresh header position.
So what you can suggest me? How to do header offset? Is it right to invoke relayouting with every scroll event?

I searched an answer on a same situation with a GridView (but for a FooterView).
I've read attentively your suggestions and some from other websites. I had the same reflexion. I found a simple way as your tip: "Use special adapter. It works fine with a footer..." and this answer by #RaulSoto helped me a lot. But when I tried to update my gridview, I had a NPE, because my footer was not like the layout of my items and I had a custom filter which recalculated the getCount() method, but without understand that another view was added.
Finally, I found only solution which works: a custom class.
Create your own class as you said: "Extend GridView and write custom class" but don't extend GridView. You should extend with ListView and measure the entire width, the column width and the number of columns. I think, it's less difficult that to extend GridView, calculate the height of the header view and move it as you move your gridview or refresh the header each time you handle a scroll event..
I searched to do it in this way and I took this little project on GitHub: HFGridView by Sergey Burish. It was exactly what I need, no more.
I only added a custom attrs file in my app and customize a bit his project to have the expected result (especially, it was to have one column in portrait, two in landscape mode, refering to the numColumns attribute in my layout).
And when I try, just for test, to add a HeaderView and refresh the content with adding new items, the header view stays at the top of my gridview list, without refreshing himself.
So, I think you should search to create your class as GridView extends ListView. Refer you to the HFGridView by SBurish, it is very simple to understand how it does.
Hope this helps you with your purpose.

Make Header View (not Section Header) of ListView Stick on Top

I have a ListView with a HeaderView.
I want one of the views in the HeaderView to stick on top.
I've seen a lot of examples for sticky Section Headers.
I also looked at StickyScrollViewItems but since I'm using a ListView, I cannot use a ScrollView.
Is there a library available for this or should I just override the OnScrollListener of the ListView?
Thanks.

I have just written a load of code that does this that I cant share for contractoral reasons. Basically follow the approach outlined here and apply to a listview rather than a scroll view.
Main points are
Create a wrapper view that contains your floating/sticky header and your listview as siblings
Use a proxy method when adding headers with an isSticky boolean - if is sticky then add a fake blank header to the listview of the same size and your intended header view to the floating header wrapper (use a relative layout here)
Set a scroll listener of the listview that tracks the top px position of the dummy header view in the list and setting this as a top margin of the floating header that sits inside a relative layout
Handle all the annoying edge cases / OEM overscroll crap to get it to work in all situtions (like this for samsung)
Remember to set the initial position of the floating/pinned header after the listview has been layed out.
I feel its a little bit involved and takes some tweaking to get right - this is a time where i envy iOS and any iOS devs will think your slacking as it takes a while to implement :D
All the Open libs out there at time of writing are using scroll views or list view headers. This issue with these approaches are that list views recycle views (so unlike scroll views you cant just keep a ref to the dummy view) and also the current libs seem duplicate the sticky views using adapter getView methods and so on - which is no good for dynamic list view header views as they are not recycled and can only have one parent, so reparenting would be annoying (and in my case has a lot of functionality so I defo dont want to create two views of the same type and shoehorn the current libs to fit my solutions)

I don't know of any library that lets you do this but what I do for a header is to use a RelativeLayout for my xml that will have the ListView. Then create your header view however you want and give it the property
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
then give your ListView
android:layout_below="#id/idOfHeaderView
This is the easiest way I know of to dock a header view at the top. It has worked for me every time. I hope this helps.

overlapping problem in AdapterView

I am using AdapterView to have Custom List. But my Xml layout not only
contains that List. It also have some other elements like TextBox,
labels, ImageButton at the top and bottom. so when i scroll it up
and animation starts it also draw elements on that Top Part(Which
contains ImageButton and other stuff). so can some one tell me how can
i remove it ? another issue is it do not have scrool bar. can some one
tell me how can i add scroll bar in it ?

for adding scroll bar to the listView add this attribute to your listview in the xml
android:scrollbars="vertical"
Check the following link. here i mentioned a complete code to use listview properly. Using this we can achieve any listview behavior. We can embed animation also.
For controlling list View Behavior ensure the getView Method of your list is generating the vew dynamically and as per your requirements . Each time a list get scrolled . The getView Method get called for all the element in the view. Do account all these things.
Change ListView background - strange behaviour
Hope this help :)
