Thanks! It seems it would be easy enough to do: the scrollability of a GridView needs to be optional, so you could put it into a ListView and it would remain full height.
There doesn't seem to be a need for each of the ListView elements to be the same size. I just tried a work-around where I just naively put stacked text views in a LinearLayout and, while that's ugly and unacceptable, it does work and leads to list elements that are different sizes. I also tried a Spinner and that seems to work, although it shows only the first line and when you click on it you have to select in the pop- up list to get it to go away.
