Generally speaking, you need to provide a more complicated View for each row than the traditional TextView. For simple cases, you may be able to get away with just creating a layout XML file for the row (e.g., LinearLayout with an ImageView for your icon and a TextView for your name) and supply that resource ID instead of the ever-popular android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 in your Adapter constructor. For more power, subclass your desired Adapter and implement getView(), where you can return (or re-populate) Views you create either by manual construction or by using ViewInflate on a layout XML file. Here are a couple of threads on this topic I've contributed to over the past few months: http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/925bd3f4c1c3aefb http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_frm/thread/355d3cdfa1c787b8/2009b42cad4537ce?lnk=gst&q=commonsware#2009b42cad4537ce List6.java in the ApiDemos in the SDK is one of the closer examples to this, and I'm sure there are any number of tutorials over on anddev.org that cover it as well. And, like I just told Mr. Steele, I'll be writing up all of this over on the AndroidGuys blog over the next few weeks. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ -- Available Now! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
