Your answer would be appreciated.

Give marginLeft to your GridView.

Try using this.
<GridView
android:id="#+id/gridView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:horizontalSpacing="10dp"
android:numColumns="auto_fit"
android:verticalSpacing="10dp"/>

GridView Layout android:horizontalSpacing is not working

I am using android:horizontalSpacing attribute in my GridView layout to give horizontal spacing between two columns. But nothing getting change only it give space between the vertical columns.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<GridView
android:id="#+id/gridview"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:verticalSpacing="2dp"
android:horizontalSpacing="2dp"
android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
android:numColumns="7" />
</FrameLayout>
This is the above code but i don't understand what is the actual mistake i am doing. You can see in above picture that , there are only black vertical lines but i also want horizontal black lines.
Please help me out , suggest me some solution.

So please provide me solution..
Thanks in advance..

You need to alter the value for android:columnWidth attribute for all layout types [hdpi,mdpi,xhdpi etc.] supported by your application.

You can use :
android:listSelector="#null"
to eliminate extera space
and try this , for 3 column cell:
android:numColumn = "3"

Android, How to stick gallery into left side of screen?

I have two questions.
The first, when i load the activity first item of gallery is in the middle. How to ask android to align it to left? (actually i used align="left" but it seems doesn't work)
the second, my activity includes three items, header, body and footer. currently the footer (gallery) is on top of body. I want bottom of body stays on above of footer instead of behind of footer.
any suggestions appreciated. The image is like this.
the code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout
xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
android:layout_height = "fill_parent"
android:background = "#drawable/bg" >
<!-- Loading header of this UI which is coded separately -->
<include
android:id="#+id/header"
layout="#layout/header_bar" />
<GridView
android:id="#+id/news_gridview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_marginTop="10dip"
android:numColumns="2"
android:verticalSpacing="5dp"
android:horizontalSpacing="5dp"
android:layout_below="#id/header"
android:layout_centerInParent="true" />
<Gallery
android:id="#+id/gallery"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" />
</RelativeLayout>

For 1st:
Check this existing SO question:
android gallery image position problem
For 2nd:
- You need to include android:layout_above="#+id/gallery" in your GridView.
- Remoev android:layout_centerInParent="true"
In short, define:
<GridView
android:id="#+id/news_gridview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_marginTop="10dip"
android:numColumns="2"
android:verticalSpacing="5dp"
android:horizontalSpacing="5dp"
android:layout_below="#+id/header"
android:layout_above="#+id/gallery"/>

Android silly ui problem

I'm new on Android and I have a silly problem with my application design.
My problem is that I want to make a grid as shown in this example http://developer.android.com/guide/tutorials/views/hello-gridview.html
but I want to create a texbox below the grid and a button after the grid. The textbox has to be always at the top and the button always at the bottom. I have done this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:id="#+id/textView1"
android:layout_marginLeft="20px"
android:text="#string/intro"
android:layout_marginTop="20px"
android:textSize="35px">
</TextView>
<GridView
android:id="#+id/gridView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
android:numColumns="auto_fit"
android:verticalSpacing="10dp"
android:horizontalSpacing="10dp"
android:columnWidth="90dp"
android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
android:gravity="center"
</GridView>
<Button
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="#string/Button_create"
android:textSize="18px">
android:id="#+id/button1">
</Button>
</LinearLayout>
But with this code I have the textbox at the top but not the button at the bottom always. It appears when the grid finish. Also I noticed that in the example there're 2 o 3 columns inside the grid as I want but with this code it only appears one and I do not know why.
Could you help me?
PS. For who will edit the code zone, could you explain me what I have to put when a line ends but it continues the code? Thanks and sorry for your time editing my post

You should put an android:layout_gravity value of e.g. 1 to the GridView which you have determined to fill the height of the parent and then for the Button, put value of 0.5.
