Display empty item in grid mode

In the home scree of the app, how to display a menu similar to the Android menu, but no items should be displayed in certain cells. Given a 3 x 3 grid, only five items (Row, Col) need to be displayed: [0,1], [1,0], [1,1], [1,2], [2,1].

We tried GridView and set GONE visibility (convertView.setVisibility (View.GONE);) for items that shouldn't be displayed. The item is then not displayed in the grid, but when the user views an empty item using the up and down keys, or clicks directly on the empty item, the icon is displayed and selected as if it were an empty item in the grid. We want it to be empty, it shouldn't react to custom events that weren't highlighted unselected.

Code to view the grid:

package org.XXX;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.graphics.BitmapFactory;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;

import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemClickListener;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.GridView;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;

public class XXXActivity extends Activity {
    GridView MyGrid;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.maingrid);
        MyGrid = (GridView)findViewById(R.id.MyGrid);
        MyGrid.setAdapter(new ImageAdapter(this));


        MyGrid.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {

            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1, int position, long arg3) {
                Toast.makeText(arg0.getContext(), position + " selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();

                switch(position) {
                case 0:break;
