Question

I want to create a simple layout. Search textbox on top and a container with results below. A single result contains several pieces of information which I would like to display in a ‘good looking’ way (different colors, different size of fonts, etc). In other words I need something that you call a partial in web apps.

It also would be very nice to scroll only the results so that search textbox would always be visible and accessible.

Can you give me some hints what I should use?

Answer 1

I think you want something like this:

<LinearLayout anroid:orientation="vertical">
   <EditText  android:layout_height="rap_content" />
   <ListView />
</LinearLayout>

For your result element simple implement your own Adapter to customize and show all the information of a result with various colors, text size etc.
