Android Tutorial => ListView

Introduction

ListView is a viewgroup which groups several items from a data source like array or database and displays them in a scroll-able list. Data are bound with listview using an Adapter class.

Remarks

ListView is a view group that displays a list of scrollable items.
The list items are automatically inserted to the list using an Adapter that pulls content from a source such as an array or database query and converts each item result into a view that's placed into the list.

When the content for your layout is dynamic or not pre-determined, you can use a layout that subclasses AdapterView to populate the layout with views at runtime. A subclass of the AdapterView class uses an Adapter to bind data to its layout.

Before using the ListView you should also checking the RecyclerView examples.
