How to create icon view to list view and vice versa switching mechanism in android

I am looking to create an application where some items are showcased. Currently they are being shown in a list with title, subtitle, icon and some information. I am thinking of implementing a layout switcher here, which will enable to user to change this view to lets say icon view where they may be displayed as a grid of 3 columns. Also this switching can be animated if possible. There will be two buttons over the view, one r开发者_如何学Cepresenting list view and other icon. Clicking on any will show up the respective view. Any idea how to do that??

You can switch the view shown in activity using setContentView() method you can call setcontentview in onClick callback.so that whole you can switch between gridview and listview. Cheers....
