Grid Layout support in android API 10

by

GridLayout has indeed been backported to be compatible with API level 7 and up. It’s (sort of) part of the support library. After you’ve downloaded the support library, you’ll find an Android library project in your local sdk folder located at: 

<sdk_folder>\extras\android\compatibility\v7\gridlayout

Set it up as dependency of the project you’re working on. After that, you’ll need to change the references throughout your project from the level 15 version to this compatibility one in order to support pre-ICS devices. In the Layout files change your xml from GridLayout to android.support.v7.widget.GridLayout. Usage should be similar, if not identical.

Regarding the Space widget: I haven’t actually used this one (yet), but it appears to be something that could be replaced by either setting margin/padding on existing views or adding in your own generic View that is completely transparent.
