Is it possible to create a Listview Android Horizontal?

Question

Problem

I need to implement a ListView horizontal, to create a horizontal navigation bar over my Product Gallery in my Sales Catalog. With the intention of making navigation but intuitive and easy on the part of users.

But to my surprise it seems that the ListView has no horizontal navigation support.

Intended implementation (To better understand the scenario)

My solution using ListView horizontal would put it over my gallery (with RelativeLayout), and populate it with miniature images of Catalogo products, thus allowing navigation through it, in addition to the scroll horizontal over the gallery.

Questions?

• Is there any way to make the ListView horizontal?
• Is there any better way to solve my problem without using ListView;

Additional information

I’m using to implement my gallery this library.

Your Easter looks like this

public class HorizontalListViewDemo extends Activity {

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    setContentView(R.layout.listviewdemo);

    HorizontialListView listview = (HorizontialListView) findViewById(R.id.listview);
    listview.setAdapter(mAdapter);

}

private static String[] dataObjects = new String[]{ "Text #1",
    "Text #2",
    "Text #3" }; 

private BaseAdapter mAdapter = new BaseAdapter() {

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        return dataObjects.length;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        return null;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        return 0;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View retval = LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()).inflate(R.layout.viewitem, null);
        TextView title = (TextView) retval.findViewById(R.id.title);
        title.setText(dataObjects[position]);

        return retval;
    }

};

}

Your layout looks like this

<?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"
 android:background="#fff"
 >

  <com.devsmart.android.ui.HorizontialListView
     android:id="@+id/listview"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:background="#ddd"
  />

 </LinearLayout>

Listitem to customize looks like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <LinearLayout
   xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
   android:orientation="vertical"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:background="#fff"
   >

  <ImageView
      android:id="@+id/image"
      android:layout_width="150dip"
      android:layout_height="150dip"
      android:scaleType="centerCrop"
      android:src="@drawable/icon"
     />

      <TextView
      android:id="@+id/title"
      android:layout_width="fill_parent"
      android:layout_height="wrap_content"
      android:textColor="#000"
      android:gravity="center_horizontal"
      />

 </LinearLayout>
