How to make Android GridLayout compatible to older

问题:

New GridLayout for Android 4 is good. Both in terms of code maintainability and performance.

I wanted help with backward compatibility for GridLayout for older version. Waiting for official compatibile package is taking too long. I know its possible and someone did mention that this could be done by copying the class from version 4 platform source.

Would be really great if anybody could guide me how to do this.

A better way of doing this is using Android Support Library. Since resource files are also involved it cannot be included as .jar library.

Update the android SDK and support files.

1. Add your-android-sdk\extras\android\support\v7\gridlayout project to eclipse.
2. Make the project as library.
3. Add this library project to your working project.

To use gridlayout in XML use it like this

<android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout> </android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout>

Hope that was helpful.
