I struggled with this also and finally wrote a custom view component
derived from ViewGroup. I added a setAdapter() method and inside that
I go through the adapter contents, just like you would in an
AdapterView-derived class. For each data item in the adapter, call
getView() from the adapter and do a addViewToLayout() on each text
view. During onMeasure() and onLayout(), you have to figure out how to
layout the children, so you can figure out the dimensions and when to
start a new row, etc. I added some XML attributes, like
android:verticalSpacing, android:horizontalSpacing and android:padding
and took care to honor padding when laying out the ViewGroup.
