How to define child views in a gallery via XML

A typical gallery view component application is similar to creating a ListView + ArrayAdapter workflow. Is there a way to get around this overhead by declaratively defining the gallery via XML?

<Gallery>
    <TextView text="Screen 1 - Swipe to Next screen"/>
    <TextView text="Screen 2 - Swipe to Prev screen"/>
</Gallery>

If this is not so, what is needed for work?

It is not possible to define adapterView child views (Galler, Spinner, ListView, ...) directly in the layout XML file. as you did in your code.

However, there is a way to avoid adapters. However, it has limited usability. You can use the attribute android:entries.

<Gallery
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:entries="@array/my_items" >
</Gallery>

Put the reference to the array resource as the attribute value.

<string-array name="my_items">
        <item>text1</item>
        <item>text2</item>
        <item>...</item>
</string-array>
