Gridview with Different Cells Sizes, Pinterest Style

gridView with different cells sizes, pinterest style

I think a RecyclerView with StaggeredGridLayoutManager can solve this issue, and that if you wish to also have a fast-scroller, you can try this library.

So, no more trick are needed, as Google provided a solution...

GridView: GridView with different cells sizes and layout,

User RecyclerView with GridLayoutManager that have set SpanSizeLookup. So it will be as follows:

int fullSpanSize = 3;
int normalSpanSize = 1;

GridLayoutManager layout = new GridLayoutManager(context, fullSpanSize);
layout.setSpaneSizeLookup(new GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup() {
    @Override
    public int getSpanSize(int position) {
        return position == 3 ? fullSpanSize : normalSpanSize;
    }
});
recyclerView.setLayoutManager(layout);

Different Cell size grid for custom views

I used the following code to programmatically create views and set up their PercentRelativeLayout.LayoutParams :

protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_percent_relative);

    ViewGroup root = (ViewGroup)findViewById(R.id.perecent_layout_view);

    View blueWidget = new View(this);
    blueWidget.setBackground(blue);
    root.addView(blueWidget);

    setUpLayout(blueWidget, 2.0f/8.0f, 6.0f/8.0f, 6.0f/8.0f, 0.0f, 2.0f/8.0f, 0.0f);

    View redWidget = new View(this);
    redWidget.setBackground(red);
    root.addView(redWidget);

    setUpLayout(redWidget, 5.0f/8.0f, 2.0f/8.0f, 3.0f/8.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f, 6.0f/8.0f);

}

private void setUpLayout(View view, float widthPercent, 
                         float heightPercent,
                         float leftMarginPercent, 
                         float rightMarginPercent,
                         float topMarginPercent, 
                         float bottomMarginPercent) {

    PercentRelativeLayout.LayoutParams layoutParams = new PercentRelativeLayout.LayoutParams(view.getLayoutParams());
    PercentLayoutHelper.PercentLayoutInfo percentLayoutInfo = layoutParams.getPercentLayoutInfo();

    percentLayoutInfo.heightPercent = heightPercent;
    percentLayoutInfo.widthPercent = widthPercent;
    percentLayoutInfo.topMarginPercent= topMarginPercent;
    percentLayoutInfo.bottomMarginPercent= bottomMarginPercent;
    percentLayoutInfo.leftMarginPercent= leftMarginPercent;
    percentLayoutInfo.rightMarginPercent= rightMarginPercent;

    view.setLayoutParams(layoutParams);

}

The view looks like this:
