Question

I need to create a very small ListView. Each row could have a different element floated on the right. For example, the top row will have a checkbox and the last row will have a disclosure arrow. It’s pretty similar to the ListView that the Settings app has, where each row has a different accessory.

Row 1     []
-------------
Row 2    123
-------------
Row 3    abc
-------------
Row 4      >

I don’t think I can use a ListAdapter because it forces the rows to be homogenous. And since I’m only gong to have 4 rows, I’d rather just manually write the XML for each row. I couldn’t find out what the child rows of ListViews are called. On iPhone, the UITableViewCell is the child of UITableView. On Android, I did not find such a ListViewCell or ListViewRow.

You can use TableLayout..

     <TableLayout 
     android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
     android:layout_height="fill_parent" 
     xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <TableRow>
    <Button 
        android:id="@+id/backbutton"
        android:text="Back"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
           <View
           android:layout_height="2dip"
           android:background="#FF909090" />//this view will help you to draw line so table layout will look like listview

</TableRow>
<TableRow>
    <TextView
        android:text="First Name"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_column="1" />
        <EditText
        android:width="100px"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
           <View
            android:layout_height="2dip"
            android:background="#FF909090" />
</TableRow>
<TableRow>
    <TextView
        android:text="Last Name"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_column="1" />
        <EditText
        android:width="100px"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> 
            <View
            android:layout_height="2dip"
            android:background="#FF909090" />
</TableRow>

Instead of EditText you can use component like checkbox. with the id of corresponding checkbox you can perform process according to you.. I think it may help you..
