ListView doesn't really work well for that sort of data layout, unless all of the rows are a single ListView.

I would recommend CustomListView or ScrollView. ScrollView is a lot more fiddly and you need to manage the heights and starting heights of items in it, but once set up it works well. I've put together a ScrollView for this App : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=torquesoft.lemanslivetiming

You also need to consider if you want the Headings to remain on View, there is also TableView which might suit your needs. This has an extra benefit of 'knowing' about the headings and handling them for you.

It also depends on the number of elements you are planning on having in the list and possibly graphical items or even controls such as checkboxes / tick boxes.

I would look at the following :


TableView

ScrollView

and CustomListView (based on ScrollView)
