ListView with your own layout

ListView with your own layout

As stated in last post, A simple ListView using android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 layout, we can copy and modify the built-in layout to implement our own layout in ListView.



Copy the file android-sdk-linux_x86/platforms/android-7/data/res/layout/layout/simple_list_item_1.xml, rename mylistlayout.xml, and paste into /res/layout/ folder of your project. Modify it:
/res/layout/mylistlayout.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>   <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"    android:id="@android:id/text1"    android:layout_width="fill_parent"    android:layout_height="wrap_content"       android:textStyle="bold|italic"    android:gravity="center_vertical|right"    android:paddingRight="30dip"    android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeight"    android:drawableLeft="@drawable/icon"   />

Modify the onCreate() method to use R.layout.mylistlayout in our ListView
