You can change the properties Left, Top, Width and Height of all three views in the ListView items.
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.Label.Top etc
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.SecondLabel.Top etc
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.Bitmap.Top etc
Make sure that ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.ItemHeight is set according to the heights of the internal views.

I get an error message saying unknown member: bitmap

B4X: 
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.ItemHeight = 200dip
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.Bitmap.Height = 50

Thank you Klaus.. can you give me some guidance? i am trying to display a list of 5 images with description in the code below, however when i run it it makes 5 copies of each picture instead of displaying 5 number 1 -5.

B4X: 
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    ListView1.Initialize("ListView1")
    Dim GD As GradientDrawable
    GD.Initialize("TR_BL", Array As Int(Colors.White, Colors.LightGray))
    Activity.Background = GD
    ListView1.ScrollingBackgroundColor = Colors.Transparent
    Dim Bitmap1 As Bitmap
    Bitmap1.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "Pic1.jpg")
    Dim Bitmap2 As Bitmap
    Bitmap2.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "Pic2.jpg")
    Dim Bitmap3 As Bitmap
    Bitmap3.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "Pic3.jpg")
    Dim Bitmap4 As Bitmap
    Bitmap4.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "Pic4.jpg")
    Dim Bitmap5 As Bitmap
    Bitmap5.Initialize(File.DirAssets, "Pic5.jpg")
   
    ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.ItemHeight = 160dip
    ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.ImageView.Height = 150dip
    ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.ImageView.Width = 150dip
    ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.Label.Gravity = Gravity.CENTER
    ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.Label.TextColor = Colors.Blue
    ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.SecondLabel.Gravity = Gravity.CENTER
    ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.SecondLabel.TextColor = Colors.Cyan
   
    ListView1.SingleLineLayout.ItemHeight = 100dip
    ListView1.SingleLineLayout.Label.TextSize = 20
    ListView1.SingleLineLayout.Label.TextColor = Colors.Blue
    ListView1.SingleLineLayout.Label.Gravity = Gravity.CENTER
    ListView1.FastScrollEnabled = True
    For i = 1 To 5
        ListView1.AddTwoLinesAndBitmap("Machine #" & i, "This is the second line.", Bitmap1)
        ListView1.AddTwoLinesAndBitmap("Machine #" & i, "This is the second line.", Bitmap2)
        ListView1.AddTwoLinesAndBitmap("Machine #" & i, "This is the second line.", Bitmap3)
        ListView1.AddTwoLinesAndBitmap("Machine #" & i, "This is the second line.", Bitmap4)
        ListView1.AddTwoLinesAndBitmap("Machine #" & i, "This is the second line.", Bitmap5)
       
    Next       
    Activity.AddView(ListView1, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y)
End Sub

Yes and no.
Yes, you can set an background to "All one-line-items".
Yes, you can set an background to "All two-line-items".
Yes, you can set an background to "All two-line-items with bitmaps".
No, you cannot set a background ONLY for one or more spezific items.

Yes, but for all TwoLinesAndBitmap layouts.
B4X: 
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.ImageView.Left = ListView1.Width - ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.ImageView.Width
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.Label.Left = 0
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.Label.Width = ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.ImageView.Left
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.SecondLabel.Left = 0
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.SecondLabel.Width = ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.ImageView.Left

Sorry, I hadn't tested it.
Replace the code you added by this:
B4X: 
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.ImageView.Left = 100%x - 50dip
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.Label.Left = 0
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.Label.Width = 100%x - 50dip
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.SecondLabel.Left = 0
ListView1.TwoLinesAndBitmap.SecondLabel.Width = 100%x - 50dip

Hi guys,

I have a listview that is reading off from a local sqlite file, it's using a cursor and the listview is done in the Designer.

Let's say I've coded that if someone clicks on an item on the list the item gets deleted from the sqlite table.
How do I get to reread the data and redo the listview once the table has been updated without finishing the activity? (that's an option, but it's a bit awkward...)

Thanks

I am using a basic listview, works fine with a white background.
But I do not see any row separator bars as shown in the examples.
How can I see these? Is it because they are white? if so then how can I change the color of the lines that separate rows.

Here's a snipet of my code:
B4X: 
StorList.TwoLinesLayout.Label.TextColor=Colors.Black
    StorList.TwoLinesLayout.Label.TextSize=14
    StorList.TwoLinesLayout.SecondLabel.TextSize=12
    StorList.TwoLinesLayout.ItemHeight=70dip
    StorList.AddTwoLines(CAMqty.SelectedItem & " camera(s): " & CAMres.SelectedItem  & ", " & VIDcompression.selecteditem & " @" & FPSqty.SelectedItem & "FPS", StorageDays.SelectedItem & " Days Storage = " & StorageSpace.Text & "GB, " & Bandwidth.Text & "Mbit/s" )

You can modify the AndroidManifest.xml targetSdkVersion change to 10 , maybe be can see the line

It is not the color I am trying to get/change, it is the horizontal lines that separate each list item.

The idea from little3399 worked, when I changed this in the Manifest:
android:targetSdkVersion="14" to android:targetSdkVersion="10"
I could see the bars, but that also changed the formatting of many many other items, most of which I did not like. Is there a better way to get these bars back?

You need to 'play' with the colors and the dimensions of the labels.
B4X: 
Sub Globals
    Dim ltvTest1, ltvTest2 As ListView
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
    Activity.LoadLayout("main")
    InitListView
End Sub

Sub InitListView
    Dim i As Int
    Dim LineWidth = 3dip  As Int
    Dim LineWidth_2 = Max(1, LineWidth / 2)
    ltvTest2.SingleLineLayout.Label.Left = LineWidth
    ltvTest2.SingleLineLayout.Label.Width = ltvTest2.Width - 2 * LineWidth
    ltvTest2.SingleLineLayout.Label.Top = LineWidth_2
    ltvTest2.SingleLineLayout.Label.Height = ltvTest2.SingleLineLayout.ItemHeight - LineWidth_2
    ltvTest2.SingleLineLayout.Label.Color = Colors.White
    ltvTest2.SingleLineLayout.Label.TextColor = Colors.Black
  
    For i = 0 To 20
        ltvTest1.AddSingleLine("Test "& i)
        ltvTest2.AddSingleLine("Test "& i)
    Next
End Sub
Attached a small test program.
The top ListView has the default values, the text is even not visible. That's the problem with the 'new' layouts.
The bottom ListViews has the properties changed.
