I need to add a footer view of some kind to a gridview layout in android, there is no official documentation that I can find for this and I have not been able to find a method that actually works in my google searches, has anyone achieved anything like this? I need to make a button that will show up the bottom of the gridview so that I can add more photos onclick, sort of like the below example from instagram, any help would go a long way thanks!
