Question

How to create a simple list view using only array adapter and getview. Without using ListActivity and setAdapter in Android. Please elaborate with sample code.

Edit :
I was beginner and was so confused and unfamiliar with asking question on stack overflow.
Actually I was finding solution to create a adapter and list view dynamically in any activity class. Hopes downvoted will be recount again !!!

public class SampleListActivity extends Activity {

     private String[] mStrings = {
                "Abbaye de Belloc", "Abbaye du Mont des Cats", "Abertam", "Abondance", "Ackawi",
                "Acorn", "Adelost", "Affidelice au Chablis"};

     private ListView listView;
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
        listView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, mStrings));
