GridView is not really designed for this purpose, it is designed to display an indefinite amount of data in an efficient scrolling manner. If you want to create a static layout where you can discretely place items at specific locations, you should be looking at GridLayout or TableLayout instead.

This answer is right but if you still want to use a gridview then you can set android:numColumns="10" and then in your adapter you can feed it 100 items and this should result in a 10x10 grid view, enjoy. – DraganescuValentin Feb 12 '14 at 07:10

i dont recommend that but if you use API 14 greater than 14 you can use this code set number of column and rows

from xml

 <GridLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:id="@+id/GridLayout1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:columnCount="2"
    android:rowCount="2"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    tools:context=".GridXMLActivity" >

From Java

setRowCount(int rownumber );

enjoy

I used something like this, it isn't GridView but I had the similar issue and GridLayout helped me a lot:

<GridLayout
    android:id="@+id/bottom_recycle_view"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:columnCount="10"
    android:rowCount="10"
>

You will have 10 rows and 10 columns.

If you have 100 items then only 10 rows will be shown. There is no need to have a fixed number of rows.

The number of rows is automatically calculated (and imposed by you) from the number of columns and the number of items
