Which is the best layout to make a grid on Android?

Question

which is the best layout to make an app like flipboard on Android?

I need an UI that shows 6 tiles (2x3 format portrait) and it could be a list of tiles but, I need that each 6 tiles I slide the screen to see a new group of tiles. Is it better to use GridView, FrameLayout or ViewPager?

Thanks

you can use gridview for showing the 6 slides a 2x3. Its the best method for showing as tiles. If your each tile has different size then go for framelayout/viewpager.

I think you should go for the FlipBoard Implementation which is already implemented and which provides full functionality of flipboard kind or layout.

You can also check out the Demo of Flipboard layout animation. Also a library of FlipView

Hope this will help you.

Thanks.
