I compiled my demo with api 25 the app run fine on Gingerbread (2.3.3) use te config in the thumb. #375 and let me know.
I see. I started migrating the app to API25 now. Remaining issues are related to OKHTTP & OAUTH.
Or maybe I go back again to API24, and try to avoid OKHTTP ..
Your code compiles with API25 now, thanks (but the app doesn't go through the Java compilation due to the issue above)

just verified. I cannot go to API23/24/25 now, because the Oauth1.0 library that I use right now is incompatible with okhttp
therefore, I'm stuck with API21. any chance that you provide a version that is compiled with API21?

thank you

Hi there,

Great library indeed, but I´m struggling with changing the size of the images. Changing the values of itemheight and itemheight does not have any impact on the displayed images...

Example:

B4X:
GridView.ItemHeight = 150
GridView.ItemWidth = 150

Thanks in advance

Hi @lonleystar
I want to use gridview library in my app. I tried running the demo app with v3.80 library, it is throwing following error. Is there anything I am missing. Would appreciate if you can help me to fix this issue. Looks like something related to xml file but I am not able to find what is missing. Thanks!
