Android - Remove GridView item from inside getView()?

Question

I need a way to remove an Item from the GridView but this must be done from within the getView() method inside my custom Adapter. Here is my GridView:

Activi

Answer 1

This is what I did, there was no need to initialise the 'adapter' variable. Inside the getView() simply do this:

1. Remove the Item from the list that was used as the data source.

So. if you want to remove Item 2 from the list

String mEntries[] = ITEM1, ITEM2, ITEM3, etc

Do this:

String newList[] = new String[mEntries.length - 1]; 
int count = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < mEntries.length; i++) {
    if (mEntries.length - 1 > 0) {
        if (mEntries[i] == mEntries[1]) { // mEntries[1] as the range starts from 0, so 1 would be ITEM2
            // SKIP IF MATCHES THE ITEM YO WANT TO REMOVE                       
        } else {
            newList[count] = mEntries[i];
            count++;
        }
    }
}
mEntries = newList; // save the new list into mEntries
notifyDataSetChanged(); // notify the changes and the listview/gridview will update
