You're going to have to use the Merge Layout thats proposed in the Android Dev guide.

I have tried this out briefly using a GridView and TextView and has worked Pretty well.

here is my code for merge.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<merge xmlns:android = "http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" >

<GridView 
       android:id = "@+id/gridview"
       android:layout_height = "fill_parent"
       android:layout_width = "fill_parent"
       android:columnWidth = "90dp"
       android:numColumns = "auto_fit"
       android:verticalSpacing = "10dp"
       android:horizontalSpacing = "10dp"
       android:stretchMode = "columnWidth"
       android:gravity = "center"
       android:background="#FFFFFF"
/>

<TextView
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" 
        android:layout_marginBottom="20dip"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal|bottom"

        android:padding="12dip"

        android:background="#AA000000"
        android:textColor="#ffffffff"

        android:text="Want to see more?" />
</merge>

In your Activity class you should do the following:

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.merge);

        GridView gridView = (GridView) findViewById(R.id.gridview);
        gridView.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));

note: ImageAdapter is a custom adapter used to display images. Now Using some random pictures you can generate the following view.

Obviously you would need to change the TextView to some sort of a button and maybe disable any scrolling in the GridView for your idea to work well.

Put it below the GridView. Have the GridView and the "text or button" be inside some container (RelativeLayout, LinearLayout, etc.) and position them accordingly.
