Span size means that this items take how many cells from the grid

public int getSpanSize(int position) {
                int mod = position % 6;   //here 18%6=0 ,19%6=1 ,36%6=0 ,37%6=1 and so one    
                if (position == 0 || position == 1)
                    return 2;    // if this is the first or sesond items make it take span size of 2 so 4/2 =2 cells will be shows
                else if (position < 6)
                    return 1;   // here 2,3,4,5 < 6 so every item should take span size 1 out of 4 , so we have 4 cells 
                else if (mod == 0 || mod == 1)
                    return 2;   // here we check the mode which is defined above 18,19 & 36,37 ,54,55 and so on every pair will span 2 cells for every number 
                else
                    return 1;   // any thing other like  will take one span out of 4 grid columns 
            }
        }
