Use this XML for Layout : gallery.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="vertical" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="@drawable/bg_child">

    <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/FrameLayout01"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/LinearLayout01"
            android:layout_gravity="top" android:layout_height="50dp" android:layout_width="fill_parent">
            <TextView android:id="@+id/TextView01"
                android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:textStyle="bold" android:layout_gravity="center_vertical" android:layout_marginLeft="30dp" android:gravity="center_vertical" android:drawableLeft="@drawable/photo_frame" android:textColor="@color/grey" android:text="@string/photogallery_txt"></TextView>
            <Button android:layout_gravity="right" android:id="@+id/btnMoreInfo" android:layout_marginRight="5dp" android:layout_marginTop="5dp" android:textStyle="bold" android:background="@drawable/my_child_button" android:layout_width="100dp" android:layout_height="40dp" android:text="@string/moreinfo_txt"></Button>
        </FrameLayout>
        <GridView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
            android:id="@+id/gridview" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:columnWidth="90dp"
            android:numColumns="auto_fit" android:verticalSpacing="10dp"
            android:horizontalSpacing="10dp" android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
            android:gravity="center" android:layout_gravity="bottom"
            android:layout_marginTop="50dp"></GridView>
    </FrameLayout>
</LinearLayout>

private static final int SELECT_PHOTO = 100;
ImageView image;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView2);
}

public void pickAImage(View view) {
    Intent photoPickerIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_PICK);
    photoPickerIntent.setType("image/*");
    startActivityForResult(photoPickerIntent, SELECT_PHOTO);
}

@Override
protected void onActivityResult(int requestCode, int resultCode, Intent imageReturnedIntent) {
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, imageReturnedIntent);

    switch (requestCode) {
        case SELECT_PHOTO:
            if (resultCode == RESULT_OK) {
                Uri selectedImage = imageReturnedIntent.getData();
                InputStream imageStream = null;

                try {
                    imageStream = getContentResolver().openInputStream(selectedImage);
                } 
                catch (FileNotFoundException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }

                Bitmap yourSelectedImage = BitmapFactory.decodeStream(imageStream);
                image.setImageURI(selectedImage);// To display selected image in image view
            }
        }
    }
}

This tutorial Hello Grid View provide a good basic example on creating Image Gallery with gridview, but the image are from drawable resource, you need to expand it as your requirement need.

Answer 5

Looks like you want custom gallery, it will take much time for you,

I suggest you get Custom Camera Gallery library for your working.

You will get Photos/Videos in Grid View as you want.
