How to delete a particular view on the click of button in a ListView in Android?

I have made a custom view that consists of two text views and one button. I just want when i click on the button then the respective view is gone and list adjust itselt.
here is my MainActivity.java
package com.dv.deletev;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
ListView lv;
String name[]={"Ankit","Arora","Arun","yadav"};
String no[]={"AnAnaAN","cccc","bbbbb","aaa"};
static CustomAdapter obj;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
lv=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.listView1);
obj=new CustomAdapter(MainActivity.this,name,no);
lv.setAdapter(obj);
//obj.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
public static CustomAdapter take()
{
return obj;
}
}

there is no such problem on logic part everything works fine, ListView appeared is what i wanted but on the click of button nothing happens.
Any suggestions...?

There are a lot of problems in this code, sorry if i will seem salty, i fixed only some necessary things:
two arrays of string with same length passed in an adapter. It's better to use a custom object that wraps these two string instead of two arrays
the transformation to arraylist without any purpose
the reference to the adapter from activity context instead from the adapter itself
the confusion about use arrays items but remove lists items
the code indentation
the code variable's name
package com.dv.deletev;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.BaseAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.widget.TextView;
import com.dv.deletev.*;
public class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String>
{
String name[];
String no[];
Context con;
MainActivity a;
//declare them global
ArrayList<String> arr;
ArrayList<String> ar;
public CustomAdapter(Context con,String a[],String b[])
{
super(con,R.layout.second,a);
name=a;
this.con=con;
no=b;
// initialize them in constructor
arr = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(name));
ar = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(no);
}
#Override
public View getView(final int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
LayoutInflater lv=(LayoutInflater) con.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
convertView=lv.inflate(R.layout.second, null);
TextView tv1=(TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView1);
TextView tv2=(TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.textView2);
Button bt=(Button)convertView.findViewById(R.id.button1);
bt.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener()
{
#Override
public void onClick(View v)
{
arr.remove(position);
ar.remove(position);
notifyDataSetChanged();
//don't use reference of the adapter itself from the activity
//a.take().notifyDataSetChanged();
//CustomAdapter.this.notifyDataSetChanged();}
}
});
// set them to list
tv1.setText(arr.get(position));
tv2.setText(ar.get(positon));
return convertView;
}
}

You convert the array to a list and remove the list item but you don't convert the list back to the array, so the remove is lost.
ArrayAdapter already has a remove() method, you should just use that.

Using getFragmentManager on a ListActivity

I just want to know if this is possible since first. I have created a custom listView based on the tutorial I read from Sai Geetha. Well it works perfectly on my app except that it needs to extend ListActivity instead of FragmentActivity. Now I'm having a hard time configuring and adding a dialog for this since I need to apply a fragment dialog and I can't use the getFragmentManager() since I'm not working with the FragmentActivity. Is there's another way I can do to work on this without sacrificing the ListActivity? Thanks!
Here's my code so far
XML:

You can use ListFragment inside FragmentActivity instead of using a ListActivity.

Listview not updating from fragment

When the user clicks a button, a new string is added to the list view, but nothing is appearing when i click it. How exactly would I do that?
MatchesList.java
The class that adds the strings to the list view
import java.util.ArrayList;
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockListActivity;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.View.OnClickListener;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.Button;
public class MatchesList extends SherlockListActivity{
ArrayList<String> listItems = new ArrayList<String>();
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
int matchNum=0;
Button addMatch;
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle icicle){
super.onCreate(icicle);
setContentView(R.layout.fragment_matches);
adapter= new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
listItems);
setListAdapter(adapter);
addMatch = (Button) findViewById(R.id.addMatchBtn);
addMatch.setOnClickListener(new OnClickListener(){
public void onClick(View v){
addMatch(v);
}
});
}
public void addMatch(View view){
matchNum += 1;
listItems.add("Match " + matchNum);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
}
}
MatchesFragment.java
import com.actionbarsherlock.app.SherlockFragment;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.*;
public class MatchesFragment extends SherlockFragment{
#Override
public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
return inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_matches, container, false);
}
}
fragment_matches.xml
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
tools:context=".MatchesFragment" >
<Button
android:id="#+id/addMatchBtn"
android:layout_width="50dp"
android:layout_height="40dp"
android:text="Add a Match"
/>
<ListView
android:id="#android:id/list"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"></ListView>
</LinearLayout>

listAdapter.add(...) instead (and no need to call notifyDataSetChanged() then).
ArrayAdapter can use another list internally if you are using filter for example, besides not good practice as the ArrayAdapter could just do a defensive copy of that list passed in the constructor (it doesn't though). It is using an internal lock to protect that list though. So really isn't supposed to modify it outside.

Want to add item in a list in android at runtime

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

This is my layout code. I wanted to add a text data from EditText to the ListView which is on same page. How to write a code to add text to the list when I click on the AddValue Button.
Thanks in advance.

use this code
addbutton.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
public void onClick(View v) {
String val = edittext.getText().toString();
list.add(val);
((ArrayAdapter<Object>) listView.getAdapter()).notifyDataSetChanged();
}
});
