Question

I create a custom listview and it extend ListActivity and works fine. But I want to put a ListView in my main activity that extends Activity. How can I do this?

For example, I want to put a custom ListView in my one part of my screen not the screen filled by only ONE ListView that extends ListActivity.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:orientation="vertical" 
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent">    
<TextView 
    android:id="@+id/lvresult"
    android:paddingTop="2dip"
    android:paddingBottom="3dip"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> 
  </LinearLayout>

and this is MyListActivity:

package Dic.proj.pkg;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.EditText;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
import android.widget.Toast;
public class MyListActivity extends ListActivity {
EditText et;
TextView tv;
TextView tvresult;
String resulttext;
ArrayList<String> mArrayList = new ArrayList<String>();
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
    super.onCreate(icicle);
    String[] values = new String[] { "Android", "iPhone", "WindowsMobile",
            "Blackberry", "WebOS", "Ubuntu", "Windows7", "Max OS X",
            "Linux", "OS/2" };
    // Use your own layout
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
            R.layout.customlist, R.id.lvresult, values);
    setListAdapter(adapter);
}

@Override
protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    String item = (String) getListAdapter().getItem(position);
    Toast.makeText(this, item + " selected", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
  }
 }

This works fine but I can see only one List view on screen. I want to put this custom Listview in my main activity. How can I do this?

you do like below:-

public class StoreListActivity extends Activity {
    private List<Store> mStores;
    private StoreAdapter mStoreAdapter;
    private ListView mListView;

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.store_list);
        mListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.store_listview);

            mStores = getTheStoresFromSomewhere();
        mStoreAdapter = new StoreAdapter(this, mStores);
        mListView.setAdapter(mStoreAdapter);
    }
