The Simplest List View!

Android has a built-in layout android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1

But how do you really take advantage of this, without creating a separate XML of your own?

Here is how I did it...

    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       
        List<String> data = new ArrayList<String>();
        data.add("King");
        data.add("Queen");
        data.add("Bishop");
        data.add("Rook");
       
        ArrayAdapter arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, data );
        setListAdapter(arrayAdapter);
       
        getListView().setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {

            public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position,
                    long arg3) {
                //item clicked
            }
        });
    }

No setContentView, no separate XML required!


Thats all!! Trust me.
