Question

My problem is to find best view configuration for my application that have a record in the listView.

My main.xml has this content:

<LinearLayout android:id="@+id/tabName" android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/textConnection" android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:paddingLeft="5dp"
        android:paddingRight="5dp"
        android:minHeight="20dp"
        />
    <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/textTitle" android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        android:paddingLeft="10dp"
        android:paddingRight="10dp"
        android:minHeight="40dp"
        />
    <ListView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" 
        android:id="@+id/listRecord" 
        android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent">
    </ListView> 
</LinearLayout>

And the my actual row of ListView is:

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent">
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/imageBox"
        android:layout_width="48px"
        android:layout_marginTop="13dp"
        android:layout_height="48px">
    </ImageView>
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/longText" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/num1" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/num2" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        />
    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/num3" android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:gravity="center_vertical"
        />
</LinearLayout>

I tried with TableLayout but starting the application report an error in the bindView.
Can I write my XML code with only textView?
Consider that then I must add the caption of the ListView that have three image above each column with number.
Thank’s.

I think the ListView is indeed your best option.

Can I write my XML code with only textView?

Yes, of course.

I don’t see what is your problem actually. You should have an activity layout with the textConnection, the textTitle, then the 3 images aligned to the right (missing in your layout file), and the listview.
As for the row xml layout, I think it is OK! Just combine it with a simple cursor adapter in your java code, and you’re done.
