GridListViewAdapters

This libarary enables you to implement GridView like card layout within ListView with added capabilites like Paginations, Addition of Header-Footer Views, also simplifies implemention for both List & Cursor data.

The GridListViewAdapters will do most of tedious work for you & all you have to do is create your small modular classes & link them together.
