Recyclerview to the rescue
summary
Live demo shows a sample app (code on GitHub) that replaces ListView/GridView with RecyclerView, builds grids where items span columns with GridLayoutManager.SpanSizeLookup, embeds a nested horizontal RecyclerView inside a column and swaps between list/grid and orientations at runtime using LinearLayoutManager and GridLayoutManager (staggered grid supported). Uses adapter view types and enforced ViewHolder pattern, and gets animations by calling notifyItemInserted/Removed so adds/removes animate smoothly rather than redrawing all items.
