If the sizes of the views are pretty predictable due to their content, i'd
go the smarter route and wrap the data with a 'smart' layer with the proper
row division, this will allow you to use a Listview and benefit from its
optimizations.
(If your data is a, bbb,cc, dd, eeee, wrap it in a new data structure that
pre-calculates the proper rows - {a, bbb}. {cc,dd}, {eeee} and etc).
If it is not predictable, I usually find that in such instances it takes
less time to write such a component yourself than to try and force other
components to behave in your desired fashion.
which means, take a scrollview and linearlayout and starting filing in the
layout yourself.
