    compile 'com.felipecsl:abslistviewhelper:1.0.3'
}

In your activity class:

private ListView listView;
private ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;

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

    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    GridView gridView = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridView);
    View gridHeader = findViewById(R.id.gridHeader);
    View gridFooter = findViewById(R.id.gridFooter);

    // Initialize your adapter the way you want...
    ListAdapter myAdapter = new MyAdapter();

    gridView.setAdapter(myAdapter);

    AbsListViewHelper helper = new AbsListViewHelper(gridView)
            .setHeaderView(gridHeader)
            .setFooterView(gridFooter);

    // If you want to set an OnScrollListener on the GridView,
    // you have to call it on the helper instance. See below
    helper.registerOnScrollListener(scrollListener);

    // that's it!
}

Check the sample app for an example of usage.

Works with API Level 10 and above.
