How to dynamically display multiple ImageViews in a grid layout using available space efficiently?

Question

Android

Many applications implement similar display of images. When there is 1 image in a post, it uses all the space available for it. If there are more images, they share the space among themselves in this form, as seen in the screenshot. If an image does not fit within the free space allocated to it, it is cropped:
android:scaleType="centerCrop"
How can this effect be achieved? ImageView are added in code. I've tried using the GridView as it is, but I haven't been able to get even one image to use all of its available space. Layout:

<GridView
    android:id="@+id/grid_view_test"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:stretchMode="columnWidth" />

Added ImageView:

imageView = new ImageView(context);
imageView.setScaleType(ImageView.ScaleType.CENTER_CROP);
imageView.setMaxHeight(200);
imageView.setAdjustViewBounds(true);
// Загрузка изображения и добавление в GridView

What types to use for this? Are there standard methods? Are third party libraries available for this? Thanks in advance.
