Android Question ListView...not anything else

67biscuits · Mar 8, 2025

I am looking for a tutorial specific to the ListView1 control. Not any other type of list viewing device. I am cutting my teeth in this arena and want to learn all the basics.
Thanks

The only relevant tutorial about ListView:

Never use it. You are wasting your time.

... use CustomListView, instead, this is "the real/correct" basic View.

If you really, really, really want to use ListView then you could resort to this:
(which I mention not to encourage using ListView, but as a reminder that the IDE help is a good first port of call )

As a reminder for IDE help, it may be better to directly tell developers to use CustomListView instead

Thanks all, feeling fully ridiculed now.
I did manage to suss it out for myself in the end by using the IDE context info. And yes, I fully understand it's limitations and all the reasons for not wanting to use it. But for my purposes to display list contents without a convoluted setup, I now understand arrays and lists far better than I did two days ago.
Now, I am ready to dig deeper into CustomListView.
