Listview Example

ListView is a view group that displays a list of scrollable items. The list items are automatically inserted to the list using an Adapter that pulls content from a source such as an array or database query and converts each item result into a view that's placed into the list.

For an introduction to how you can dynamically insert views using an adapter, read Building Layouts with an Adapter.

list.xml

<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    android:layout_height="match_parent" 

    android:paddingLeft="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"    

    android:paddingRight="@dimen/activity_horizontal_margin"    

    android:paddingTop="@dimen/activity_vertical_margin"
