    public final static int AUTOMATIC = -1; 

    // Delete drop zone location TOP
    public final static int TOP = 1;

    // Delete drop zone location BOTTOM
    public final static int BOTTOM = 2;

    /**
     * Used to create the paging
     * 
     * @return the page count
     */
    public int pageCount();

    /**
     * Returns the count of item in a page
     * 
     * @param page index
     * @return item count for page
     */
    public int itemCountInPage(int page);

    /**
     * Returns the view for the item in the page
     * 
     * @param page index
     * @param item index
     * @return the view 
     */
    public View view(int page, int index);

    /**
     * The fixed row count (AUTOMATIC for automatic computing)
     * 
     * @return row count or AUTOMATIC
     */
    public int rowCount();

    /**
     * The fixed column count (AUTOMATIC for automatic computing)
     * 
     * @return column count or AUTOMATIC
     */
    public int columnCount();

    /**
     * Prints the layout in Log.d();
     */
    public void printLayout();

    /**
     * Swaps two items in the item list in a page
     * 
     * @param pageIndex
     * @param itemIndexA
     * @param itemIndexB
     */
    public void swapItems(int pageIndex, int itemIndexA, int itemIndexB);

    /**
     * Moves an item in the page on the left of provided the page
     * 
     * @param pageIndex
     * @param itemIndex
     */
    public void moveItemToPreviousPage(int pageIndex, int itemIndex);

    /**
     * Moves an item in the page on the right of provided the page
     * 
     * @param pageIndex
     * @param itemIndex
     */
    public void moveItemToNextPage(int pageIndex, int itemIndex);

    /**
     * deletes the item in page and at position
     * 
     * @param pageIndex
     * @param itemIndex
     */
    public void deleteItem(int pageIndex, int itemIndex);

    /** 
     * Returns the delete drop zone location.  
     * 
     * @return TOP or BOTTOM. 
     */
    public int deleteDropZoneLocation();

    /**
     * Tells the grid to show or not the remove drop zone when moving an item
     */
    public boolean showRemoveDropZone();
}
