UI does not look nice

I am beginner in Android. My small app is working fine but its UI is looking ugly. Could you please help me make it better? For example: its image looks so big, could we make it a bit smaller.
Here is the code snippet.
MainActivity.java
package com.example.hacback17.listviewwithimagesadvanced;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.res.Resources;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import android.widget.ListView;
import android.widget.TextView;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
ListView list;
String[] memeTitle;
String[] memeDescription;
// getting ids of images from drawable
int[] images = {R.drawable.number_one,R.drawable.number_two, R.drawable.number_three, R.drawable.number_four, R.drawable.number_five,
R.drawable.number_six, R.drawable.number_seven, R.drawable.number_eight, R.drawable.number_nine, R.drawable.number_ten};
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Resources resources = getResources();
memeTitle = resources.getStringArray(R.array.titles);
memeDescription = resources.getStringArray(R.array.titles);
// Getting the reference of the ListView
list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter(this, memeTitle, images, memeDescription );
list.setAdapter(adapter);
}
}
// Custom ArrayAdapter
class MyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String>
{
Context context;
int[] images; // getting the reference of images.
String[] titleArray; // getting the reference of titles array
String[] descriptionArray; // getting the reference of description array
public MyAdapter(Context context, String[] titles, int[] img, String[] description) {
super(context, R.layout.single_row, R.id.textView, titles);
this.context = context;
this.images = img;
this.titleArray = titles;
this.descriptionArray = description;
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
// Let's get the reference of LayoutInflater to get the XML into Java code.
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
View row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.single_row, parent, false);
ImageView myImage = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.imageView);
TextView myTitle = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textView);
TextView myDescription = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textView2);
myImage.setImageResource(images[position]);
myTitle.setText(titleArray[position]);
myDescription.setText(descriptionArray[position]);
return row;
}
}

</RelativeLayout>
The UI looks like this:

In your ArrayAdapter use these funcitons:
myImage.setMaxWidth(MAX_WIDTH);
myImage.setMaxHeight(MAX_HEIGHT);
Use your own values in MAX_WIDTH & MAX_HEIGHT.

make your image layout widht and height wrap_content to 30dp.
<ImageView
android:src="#drawable/number_one"
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:id="#+id/imageView"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_alignParentStart="true"
android:layout_margin="10dp" />

Andorid Customize ListView makes a few row to be special

I have a DrawerLayout, my DrawerLayout currently display a listview that have an image and a text, and everything just works fine
Now, I decides to add an header in my DrawerLayout and add a special field for a few Rows in my listview
Thank you
this image tells everything about what i want to do:

Do you want your header to scroll off the top of the screen when the user scrolls the listview? If so, simply add a header to the listview using the addHeaderView API.
If you want your header to stay in place, add it in the XML
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Header text"/>
<ListView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"/>
</LinearLayout>

Custom listview doesnot show all data present in my List

Here is the Adapter class that doesn't work properly.
It always shows me 3 rows even if I'm passing 5 values in List as an parameter.
Can anyone tell me where is the problem in my adapter class.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks:)
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import com.example.mis.R;
import com.mis.adapter.Chk_Model;
import com.mis.database.DatabaseHandler;

import android.database.Cursor;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;

import android.widget.TextView;
public class ThreeTextViewAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {
Context context;
List<String> orderNum=new ArrayList<String>();
TextView txtOrd1,txtShip1,txtStatus;
DatabaseHandler handler;
public ThreeTextViewAdapter(Context context, List<String> ordNo) {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
super(context, R.layout.threetextview,ordNo);
this.context=context;
this.orderNum=ordNo;
handler=new DatabaseHandler(context);
}
#Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
ViewHolder viewHolder=null;
final int pos = position;
if (convertView == null) {
viewHolder=new ViewHolder();
convertView = LayoutInflater.from(getContext()).inflate(
R.layout.threetextview, parent, false);
viewHolder.txtOrd1=(TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.txtfirst_detail_expo);
viewHolder.txtShip1=(TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.txtsec_detail_expo);
viewHolder.txtStatus=(TextView)convertView.findViewById(R.id.txtthird_detail_expo);
convertView.setTag(viewHolder);
}
else {
viewHolder = (ViewHolder) convertView
.getTag();
}
viewHolder.txtOrd1.setText(orderNum.get(pos));
handler.getReadableDatabase();
Cursor cursor=handler.getShipNo(orderNum.get(pos));
handler.closeDatabase();
String shipNo=cursor.getString(0);
if(shipNo.equals(null))
{
viewHolder.txtShip1.setText("Not Exported");
viewHolder.txtStatus.setText("Failed");
}
else
{
viewHolder.txtShip1.setText(shipNo);
System.out.println("y"+shipNo);
viewHolder.txtStatus.setText("Passed");
System.out.println("z"+"Passed");
}
return convertView;
}
private static class ViewHolder
{
TextView txtOrd1,txtShip1,txtStatus;
}
}
Here, I have attached my code where I'm initializing my adapter.
I have converted Set to list.
Set<String> keySet = ordShipNo.keySet();
Iterator it = keySet.iterator();
while (it.hasNext()) {
String key = (String) it.next();
ordExported.add(ordShipNo.get(key));
}
adapter = new ThreeTextViewAdapter(this, ordExported);
lststatus.setAdapter(adapter);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
Here is my Xml layout file.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

As Jorge suggest, overRide getCount of your adapter like this and return the size of the list.
#Override
public int getCount() {
return orderNum.size();
}
and if it failed to solve the problem, then give me your code where you setting the adapter to the listView.

Android custom row layout not showing up in listview

I can't see the row that I've added to a list view and am wondering if it has something to do with my layout or ListViewAdapter. In debug I can see that my array is filled with the data passed to my ArrayList playerList, and I see the data in Toast but nothing shows up on screen.

//playerInfo.setText("this is a test");
vi.setTag(holder);
return vi;
}

First of all, you are using too much the weight property in your xml.. you should use it wisely, I don't know why the RelativeLayout has the weight 1 but anyway, I think the issue you have might be one of the following:
make sure getCount() returns > 0
make sure your are using this method to do the inflate: inflater.inflate(R.layout.new_player_view, parent, false);
change the row layout to the follwing:
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:background="#android:color/transparent"
android:padding="5dp" >
<TextView
android:id="#+id/txtV_player_input_position_title"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:layout_marginLeft="25dp"/>
<Button
android:id="#+id/btn_Edit_Title"
style="?android:attr/buttonStyleSmall"
android:layout_width="#dimen/btn_edit_player_width"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
android:layout_marginRight="14dp"
android:padding="3dp"
android:text="#string/bnt_Edit_title" />
And the main layout ListView to:
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
I hope something will help you, otherwise, please post the full code of the adapter.
EDIT:
Please try to look at this example of ViewHolder pattern implementation, that is working and it should help you implement yours better.

You have set layout_weight as 0.89 without setting the weightSum for the parent layout. Set android:weightSum = "1" for your parent LinearLayout

ListView without ListActivity

I'm trying to set a Listview under some other Widgets (Buttons, editText, etc). I don't want to use another activity for the listview. After reading some I found How can I implement a ListView without ListActivity? (use only Activity) and I tried to do it, ending up with:
Here is my main.xml:
<LinearLayout android:id="#+id/relativeLayout1"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical">
<TextView ...[some code].../>
<EditText ...[some code].../>
<ImageButton ...[some code].../>
<Chronometer ..[some code]..../>
<ListView android:id="#+id/listView1" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"></ListView>
here is my onCreate:
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
button1 = (ImageButton) findViewById(R.id.button1);
mChronometer = (Chronometer) findViewById(R.id.chronometer1);
editText1 = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
String[] listword = new String[] {"Hello","World","Foo","Bar"};
lv.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_item, listword));
}
and here is list_item.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:textSize="16sp" >
</TextView>
When I debug in my physical device, the application simply stays all black. If I comment out the lines of onCreate() that involve the list, the application works (obviously without the listview).
Any ideas what might be wrong?

I actually have an app with a listview below some TextViews and above two buttons, let me grab my code!
Here's my activity with listview below the textviews and above the buttons (with quite a bit removed for brevity):
public class BNYDirectoryResults extends Activity{
public static String[] stuff;
ListView list;
BNYAdapter adapter;
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
#Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.resultscreen);
TextView headDisplay = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.results);
TextView headCount = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.resultsTotal);
TextView headPages = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.pages);
//Set up the results list, see BNYAdapter
list = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
adapter = new BNYAdapter (this, BNYDirectory.ReturnResults);
list.setAdapter(adapter);
//Sets up header information (pages, total results)
//Just some stuff to change the TextViews
//Passes EmployeeID and Phone Number to AND opens the details page
list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener(){
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id){
String EID = BNYDirectory.ReturnResults[position][0];
String phoneNumber = BNYDirectory.ReturnResults[position][2];
BNYDirectoryTransaction.doDetails(EID, phoneNumber);
Intent i = new Intent(view.getContext(), BNYDirectoryDetails.class);
startActivity(i);
}
});
}
}
Here's the XML file for it:
<TextView
android:id="#+id/results"
android:text="Name"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" android:textStyle="bold"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/resultsTotal"
android:text="Phone"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" android:textStyle="bold"/>
<TextView
android:id="#+id/pages"
android:text="AIM"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" android:textStyle="bold"/>
</LinearLayout>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<TextView
android:id="#+id/name"
android:text="Name"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/phone"
android:text="Phone"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/aim"
android:text="AIM"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
<TextView
android:id="#+id/dept"
android:text="Dept"
android:gravity="center"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_weight="1" />
</LinearLayout>
<ListView
android:id="#+id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_weight="1"/>
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="horizontal">
<Button

android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Next"

</LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>
and here's the custom adapter for the list:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
