In this post, I will show you how to add and remove grids in GridView. And also, I am explained about SharedPreferences.
Project Structure:
Create a new Project in Eclipse/Android Studio with the required Specifications.
Codes:
activity_main.xml
Create activity_main.xml and replace it with the following code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="fill_parent"
 android:weightSum="5"
 android:orientation="vertical">

 <GridView
  android:id="@+id/gridView1"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="0dp"
  android:columnWidth="100dp"
  android:gravity="center"
  android:numColumns="auto_fit"
  android:stretchMode="columnWidth"
  android:layout_weight="4.5"/>

 <LinearLayout
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="0dp"
  android:layout_weight="0.5"
  android:orientation="horizontal"
  android:weightSum="2" >

  <Button
   android:id="@+id/btn_add"
   android:layout_width="0dp"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:layout_weight="1"
   android:background="@null"
   android:text="@string/hint_add"/>

  <Button
   android:id="@+id/btn_remove"
   android:layout_width="0dp"
   android:layout_height="match_parent"
   android:layout_weight="1"
   android:background="@null"
   android:text="@string/hint_remove"/>

 </LinearLayout>

</LinearLayout>

activity_main_single.xml
Create activity_main_single.xml and replace it with the following code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content"
 android:padding="5dp"
 android:orientation="vertical"
 android:gravity="center">

 <ImageView
  android:id="@+id/grid_item_image"
  android:layout_width="50dp"
  android:layout_height="50dp"
  android:src="@mipmap/ic_launcher"
  android:contentDescription="@string/app_name"
  android:gravity="center" />

 <TextView
  android:id="@+id/grid_item_label"
  android:layout_width="match_parent"
  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  android:text="@string/label"
  android:textSize="15sp"
  android:gravity="center" />

</LinearLayout>

MainActivity.java
Open MainActivity.java and replace it with the following code

package com.example.grid;
 
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.SharedPreferences;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.GridView;
import android.widget.Toast;
 
import com.example.grid.adapter.ImageAdapter;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
 
public class MainActivity extends Activity {

 GridView gridView;
 Button btn_add, btn_remove;
 ImageAdapter adapter;
 ArrayList<String> list;
 SharedPreferences sharedPreferences;
 SharedPreferences.Editor editor;
 String Pref_Name = "Grid";
 int count = 3;

 @Override
 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
  super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
  setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

  gridView = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridView1);
  btn_add = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_add);
  btn_remove = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btn_remove);

  sharedPreferences = getSharedPreferences(Pref_Name, MODE_PRIVATE);
  count = sharedPreferences.getInt("count", 3);

  list = new ArrayList<>();

  for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
   list.add("");
  }

  adapter = new ImageAdapter(this, list);
  gridView.setAdapter(adapter);

  btn_add.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    list.add("");
    adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    gridView.setAdapter(adapter);

    editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
    editor.putInt("count", count + 1);
    editor.apply();

    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "One Image Added", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();

   }
  });

  btn_remove.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
   @Override
   public void onClick(View v) {
    list.remove("");
    adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
    gridView.setAdapter(adapter);

    editor = sharedPreferences.edit();
    editor.putInt("count", count - 1);
    editor.apply();

    Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(), "One Image Removed", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
   }
  });
 }
}

ImageAdapter.java
Open ImageAdapter.java and replace it with the following code

package com.example.grid.adapter;
 
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.TextView;
 
import com.example.grid.R;
 
import java.util.ArrayList;
 
public class ImageAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
  
 private Context context;
 private ArrayList list = new ArrayList<>();

 public ImageAdapter(Context context, ArrayList list) {
  this.context = context;
  this.list = list;
 }

 @Override
 public int getCount() {
  return list.size();
 }

 @Override
 public Object getItem(int position) {
  return null;
 }

 @Override
 public long getItemId(int position) {
  return 0;
 }

 public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

  LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) Context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
  convertView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.activity_main_single, null);
  TextView textView = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.grid_item_label);
  ImageView imageView = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.grid_item_image);

  int option = ((position+1)%3);

  switch (option) {
   case 0:
    textView.setText("Windows");
    imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.windows_logo);
    break;
   case 1:
    textView.setText("Android");
    imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.android_logo);
    break;
   case 2:
    textView.setText("IOS");
    imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.ios_logo);
    break;
   default:
    textView.setText("Android");
    imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.android_logo);
    break;
  }

  return convertView;

 }

}
