I want a layout that will display images without knowing how many. First i thought of a ScrollView, but don't know how to add different images to it. How can that be done? Or is there any other solution?

  • A scrollview allows you to touch the screen and scroll if there is more content then there is space on the page. Inside you can have an ImageView, textview, edittext, so on.. It is not specific to images – Michael Jul 28 '16 at 13:26

How can that be done?

Have the ScrollView wrap around a vertical LinearLayout, into which you add your ImageView widgets.

Or is there any other solution?

ListView. GridView. RecyclerView. ViewPager. And so on.

  • @OleksandrZakrevskiy: Create the `ImageView` widget. Configure it (e.g., use Picasso to load your image into it asynchronously). Call `addView()` on the `LinearLayout`, passing it the `ImageView` and a suitable `LinearLayout.LayoutParams`. Do this for each image. – CommonsWare Jul 28 '16 at 13:34

Depending on how you want to display the images, you can also use GridView : Grid View Android Developpers

There is an example : Gridview with two columns and auto resized images

You don't need to use ScrollView or know the amount of images you're gonna show. Just use a ListView with an ArrayAdapter that binds a List of Bitmaps (images) to your ListView (each item of your ListView is an ImageView). Each time you add a new image to your list, just call notifyDataSetChanged() method of your adapter, that's gonna update your ListView.

Just google for a relevant tutorial. You're gonna see lots of examples.
