Add a Header to a GridView (Android)

Solution 1
Google's implementation of HeaderGridView addresses this problem. They are subclassing GridView.
I believe this is either part of the Google+ Photos app or the Gallery native app.

Solution 2
I used Stickygridheaders from github ,it's very beautiful and simple ,try it.
Solution 3
I would go for extending GridView in this case as it seems the easiest. If you decided to extend ListView or ScrollView you would have to implement all GridView functions first, which is unnecessary for your case.
Solution 4
After implementing it myself, I can say that the easiest way is to make an Adapter that handles the columns and use a ListView with the default header
I published the code with an example here: https://github.com/plattysoft/grid-with-header-list-adapter/
Solution 5
You have to add header/footer view before calling setAdapter(new Your_Adapter);
Try below code:
LayoutInflater layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(getActivity());
View footerView = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.grid_view_footer, null);
myListViewOrGridView.addFooterView(footerView);
YourAdapter mAdapter = new YourAdapter(getActivity(), Your_Argument_Here);
myListViewOrGridView.setAdapter(mAdapter);

I'm aware that the GridView does NOT support a header or footer. I'm extensively using GridViews and I would like to have headers that scroll with it.
What is the best way to approach the problem? Extending the GridView? Extending the ScrollView or ListView?
Any pointer or suggestion would be really appreciated! Thanks!
