display the elments in grid view in only one row

Answer 1

I believe the same effect could be achieved by using a LinearLayout with the orientation set to horizontal. The LinearLayout can be embedded in a HorizontalScrollView

The documentation on HorizontalScrollView actually says this:

A HorizontalScrollView is a FrameLayout, meaning you should place one child in it containing the entire contents to scroll; this child may itself be a layout manager with a complex hierarchy of objects. A child that is often used is a LinearLayout in a horizontal orientation, presenting a horizontal array of top-level items that the user can scroll through.
