HelloGallery, read picture files from SD, display in ImageView.

It's a old exercise "HelloGallery, read picture files from SD, using File ArrayList" to demonstrate how to use Gallery. It's modified to add a ImageView to show the large version of the clicked item in Gallery.

HelloGallery, read picture files from SD, display in ImageView.

Create a file /res/values/attrs.xml.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<declare-styleable name="Theme">
<attr name="android:galleryItemBackground" />
</declare-styleable>
</resources>


Modify /res/layout/main.xml to include a Gallery and ImageView.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">
<Gallery
android:id="@+id/gallery"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageview"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>
