If you need a simpler solution, you could add the border to be drawn in your custom views drawn for each grid item.

Example code:

public class ExampleAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
    private Activity activity;
    private LayoutInflater inflater;
    public ExampleAdapter(Activity activity)
    {
        this.activity = activity;
        this.inflater = activity.getLayoutInflater();
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int pos, View convertView, ViewgGroup parent) {
        ViewHolder holder = null;
        if(converView == null) {
            convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.view_example);      
            holder = new ViewHolder();
            //Set holder ids here
            holder.title = convertView.findViewById(R.id.title)
        }
        //Populate your holder here with data here.
        holder.title.setText("My Awesome Title!");
        convertView.setTag(holder);
        return convertView;
    } 
}
