Question

Answer 1

Place a your album thumb over a dummy image(which contains 2 or 3 images in diff allign).

Answer 2

I use bitmap to create the stack view and show it in a imageview. You can based on this to save the bitmap is resource then add it in the gridview or use it in gridview adapter in getView I think.

Bitmap m1c = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.cat_13);
Bitmap m2c = BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.cat_13);


int w = m1c.getWidth();
int h = m1c.getHeight();

Matrix mtx = new Matrix();
mtx.postRotate(4);
Bitmap rotatedBMP = Bitmap.createBitmap(m1c, 0, 0, w, h, mtx, true);

Matrix mtx2 = new Matrix();
mtx2.postRotate(-4);

Bitmap rotatedBMP2 = Bitmap.createBitmap(m1c, 0, 0, w, h, mtx2, true);


Canvas comboImage = new Canvas(rotatedBMP);
comboImage.drawBitmap(rotatedBMP2, -10 , -10 , null);
comboImage.drawBitmap(m2c, 10 , 10 , null);

ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
image.setImageBitmap(rotatedBMP);
