public class ListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Item> {

    private int resourceLayout;
    private Context mContext;

    public ListAdapter(Context context, int resource, List<Item> items) {
        super(context, resource, items);
        this.resourceLayout = resource;
        this.mContext = context;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        View v = convertView;

        if (v == null) {
            LayoutInflater vi;
            vi = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
            v = vi.inflate(resourceLayout, null);
        }

        Item p = getItem(position);

        if (p != null) {
            TextView tt1 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.id);
            TextView tt2 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.categoryId);
            TextView tt3 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.description);

            if (tt1 != null) {
                tt1.setText(p.getId());
            }

            if (tt2 != null) {
                tt2.setText(p.getCategory().getId());
            }

            if (tt3 != null) {
                tt3.setText(p.getDescription());
            }
        }

        return v;
    }

}

This is a class I had used for my project. You need to have a collection of your items which you want to display, in my case it's <Item>. You need to override View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) method.

R.layout.itemlistrow defines the row of the ListView.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent">

    <TableRow android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:id="@+id/TableRow01"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <TextView android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
                  android:id="@+id/id"
                  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:text="id" android:textStyle="bold" 
                  android:gravity="left"
                  android:layout_weight="1" 
                  android:typeface="monospace"
                  android:height="40sp" />
    </TableRow>

    <TableRow android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent">

        <TextView android:textColor="#FFFFFF" 
                  android:id="@+id/categoryId"
                  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:text="categoryId" 
                  android:layout_weight="1" 
                  android:height="20sp" />

        <TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
                  android:layout_weight="1"
                  android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
                  android:gravity="right"
                  android:id="@+id/description"
                  android:text="description" 
                  android:height="20sp" />
    </TableRow>

</TableLayout>

In the MainActivity define ListViewlike this,

ListView yourListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.itemListView);

// get data from the table by the ListAdapter
ListAdapter customAdapter = new ListAdapter(this, R.layout.itemlistrow, List<yourItem>);

yourListView .setAdapter(customAdapter);

I know this has already been answered... but I wanted to give a more complete example.

In my example, the ListActivity that will display our custom ListView is called OptionsActivity, because in my project this Activity is going to display the different options my user can set to control my app. There are two list item types, one list item type just has a TextView and the second list item type just has a Button. You can put any widgets you like inside each list item type, but I kept this example simple.

The getItemView() method checks to see which list items should be type 1 or type 2. According to my static ints I defined up top, the first 5 list items will be list item type 1, and the last 5 list items will be list item type 2. So if you compile and run this, you will have a ListView that has five items that just contain a Button, and then five items that just contain a TextView.

Below is the Activity code, the activity xml file, and an xml file for each list item type.

OptionsActivity.java:

public class OptionsActivity extends ListActivity {

    private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1 = 0;
    private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_2 = 1;
    private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_COUNT = 2;

    private static final int LIST_ITEM_COUNT = 10;
    // The first five list items will be list item type 1 
    // and the last five will be list item type 2
    private static final int LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1_COUNT = 5;

    private MyCustomAdapter mAdapter;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        mAdapter = new MyCustomAdapter();
        for (int i = 0; i < LIST_ITEM_COUNT; i++) {
          if (i < LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1_COUNT)
            mAdapter.addItem("item type 1");
          else
            mAdapter.addItem("item type 2");
        }
        setListAdapter(mAdapter);
    }

    private class MyCustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

        private ArrayList<String> mData = new ArrayList<String>();
        private LayoutInflater mInflater;

        public MyCustomAdapter() {
            mInflater = (LayoutInflater)getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
        }

        public void addItem(final String item) {
            mData.add(item);
            notifyDataSetChanged();
        }

        @Override
        public int getItemViewType(int position) {
          if(position < LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1_COUNT)
              return LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1;
          else
              return LIST_ITEM_TYPE_2;
        }

        @Override
        public int getViewTypeCount() {
            return LIST_ITEM_TYPE_COUNT;
        }

        @Override
        public int getCount() {
            return mData.size();
        }

        @Override
        public String getItem(int position) {
            return mData.get(position);
        }

        @Override
        public long getItemId(int position) {
            return position;
        }

        @Override
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
            ViewHolder holder = null;
            int type = getItemViewType(position);
            if (convertView == null) {
                holder = new ViewHolder();
                switch(type) {
                    case LIST_ITEM_TYPE_1:
                        convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item_type1, null);
                        holder.textView = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.list_item_type1_text_view);
                        break;
                    case LIST_ITEM_TYPE_2:
                        convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_item_type2, null);
                        holder.textView = (TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.list_item_type2_button);
                        break;
                }
                convertView.setTag(holder);
            } else {
                holder = (ViewHolder)convertView.getTag();
            }
            holder.textView.setText(mData.get(position));
            return convertView;

Google has an example called EfficientAdapter, which in my opinion is the best simple example of how to implement custom adapters. http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/List14.html @CommonsWare has written a good explanation of the patterns used in the above example http://commonsware.com/Android/excerpt.pdf

check this link, in very simple via the convertView, we can get the layout of a row which will be displayed in listview (which is the parentView).

View v = convertView;

if (v == null) {

    LayoutInflater vi;
    vi = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
    v = vi.inflate(R.layout.itemlistrow, null);

}

using the position, you can get the objects of the List<Item>.

Item p = items.get(position);

after that we'll have to set the desired details of the object to the identified form widgets.

if (p != null) {

    TextView tt = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.id);
    TextView tt1 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.categoryId);
    TextView tt3 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.description);

    if (tt != null) {
        tt.setText(p.getId());
    }
    if (tt1 != null) {

        tt1.setText(p.getCategory().getId());
    }
    if (tt3 != null) {

        tt3.setText(p.getDescription());
    }
}

then it will return the constructed view which will be attached to the parentView (which is a ListView/GridView).

You can take a look at this sample in the official ApiDemos. It shows how to extend BaseAdapter and apply it to a ListView. After that, just look at the reference for BaseAdapter and try to understand what each method does (including the inherited ones) and when/how to use it.

Also, Google is your friend :).

Here is the complete walk through to create a custom adapter for list view step by step -

https://www.caveofprogramming.com/guest-posts/custom-listview-with-imageview-and-textview-in-android.html

public class CustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter{   
    String [] result;
    Context context;
 int [] imageId;
      private static LayoutInflater inflater=null;
    public CustomAdapter(MainActivity mainActivity, String[] prgmNameList, int[] prgmImages) {
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
        result=prgmNameList;
        context=mainActivity;
        imageId=prgmImages;
         inflater = ( LayoutInflater )context.
                 getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
    }
    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return result.length;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return position;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int position) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return position;
    }

    public class Holder
    {
        TextView tv;
        ImageView img;
    }
    @Override
    public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        Holder holder=new Holder();
        View rowView;       
             rowView = inflater.inflate(R.layout.program_list, null);
             holder.tv=(TextView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
             holder.img=(ImageView) rowView.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);       
         holder.tv.setText(result[position]);
         holder.img.setImageResource(imageId[position]);         
         rowView.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener() {            
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                Toast.makeText(context, "You Clicked "+result[position], Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });   
        return rowView;

A more compact example of a custom adapter (using list array as my data):

class MyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Object> {
    public ArrayAdapter(Context context, List<MyObject> objectList) {
        super(context, R.layout.my_list_item, R.id.textViewTitle, objectList.toArray());
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View row = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
        TextView title = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textViewTitle);
        ImageView icon = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.imageViewAccessory);
        MyObject obj = (MyObject) getItem(position);
        icon.setImageBitmap( ... );
        title.setText(obj.name);
        return row;
    }
}

And this is how to use it:

List<MyObject> objectList = ...
MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter(this.getActivity(), objectList);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);

BaseAdapter is best custom adapter for listview.

Class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter{}

and it has many functions such as getCount(), getView() etc.
