Answer 2

I had the same problem. I minimized column space by doing this

for gridView

android:numColumns="2"
android:columnWidth="90dp"
android:verticalSpacing="0dp"
android:horizontalSpacing="-30dp"
android:stretchMode="columnWidth"

for imageView

android:layout_width="115dp"
android:layout_height="150dp"
android:padding="1dp"
android:layout_marginLeft="30dp"
android:layout_marginRight="-15dp"

Answer 3

Remove Gravity attribute and use the following mode

android:stretchMode="NONE"

Answer 4

I was having similar issue of having slight horizontal spacing between the columns in few devices. ( I did not required any space. ) I was properly calculating the grid item width by dividing it with total width. I was getting this issue only on Lenovo devices.

following code was in activity related to grid.

int myRequestedColumnWidth = myGridViewContentMain.getRequestedColumnWidth();

Point size = new Point();
getWindowManager().getDefaultDisplay().getSize( size );
int width = size.x;
int height = size.y;

int myGridColumns = width / myRequestedColumnWidth;

if ( myGridColumns == 0 || myGridColumns == 1 )
    myGridColumns = 2;
myColumnWidth = ( width / myGridColumns );

myGridViewContentMain.setNumColumns(myGridColumns);

following code was in layout xml for grid

<GridView
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:id="@+id/gridViewContentMain"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"
    android:numColumns="2"
    android:columnWidth="200dp"
    android:verticalSpacing="0dp"
    android:layout_below="@+id/relativeLayoutMainHeader"
    android:layout_above="@+id/relativeLayoutProgressBar"
    />

I was unable to solve issue after changing stretch mode values.

But following value in layout xml for GridView did the trick.

    android:horizontalSpacing="0dp"

I hope, someone like me may find this helpful.

Regards.

Answer 5

You can reduce the space b/w column by setting the android:horizontalSpacing="-10dp" ( some negative number )

Answer 6

try to fix the number of columns needed in xml file for grid and set stretchMode as columnwidth

android:numColumns="3"
android:columnWidth="60dp"
android:stretchMode="columnWidth"

or set the horizontal and vertical spacing in xml for grid

android:verticalSpacing="10dp"
android:horizontalSpacing="10dp"
