Add a Header to a GridView (Android)

I used Stickygridheaders from github ,it's very beautiful and simple ,try it.


Google's implementation of HeaderGridView addresses this problem. They are subclassing GridView.

HeaderGridView

I believe this is either part of the Google+ Photos app or the Gallery native app.
