Have you ever wonder how did 2048 game has developed?

If so, you better check Asymmetric Grid View than

Googleplay it AsymmetricGridView

Go ahead'n install

You're in!!! What is GridView

-Gridview is an AdapterView which displays items in a two-dimensional, scrollable grid.
-As users reach the end, more results will be generated and will be displayed
-When users clicks on an item, some actions can be performed
-The grid items are auto insterted to the layout using a BaseAdapter

So this tutorial is also GridView tutorial but not on ASP.NET or C++ but ANDROID with all sources are allready been maded...

No surprise you have to configure it before
-Step one
-Define the array or data source which we are about to configure as an example by Column one. two. three... Column 5

Lets start with one column at a time

This would be useful for developers as an example of designing columns under an android app...

So check this out

That's how it'll ended up

You can progress as seen before

This way you can also use it in your own android app development
-Tell the BaseAdapter how to display the data by specifiying a layout for a single view
(From Column one to 5 or more depends on your imagination...)

But ofc, you will need the skills and the ability to achieve it...

It is not for entry-level developers but i want to introduce couple more things
-What does it do?
It indicates number of columns or supply a value of auto_fit just to compute the number of columns based on the available space (android.numColumns)

You can reset

You can allow reordering

Where it will re-organize columns

or you can prevent re-ordering

I hope it'll give you kind of sense about how did developers have made 2048, those are building blocks of the 2048 game and it could be useful for android development as the source is already written. Good luck'n'Enjoy

But to digg deeper and give you more idea about what GridView is also

Extended Explanation

android:stretchMode=''none''
When Stetching is disabled

android:stretchMode=''columnWidth''

When each column is stretched equally

android:stretchMode=''spacingWidth''

When spacing between each column is stretched

When spacing between each column is uniformly stretched

*So those are just some examples about the GridView on android *
It allows you to create a world which is limited by your imagination (also not limited)
