Best way to create custom list layout in Android - android

i am new to Android. I need to create a layout having list views along with textview and image icons. Please refer the attached screenshot and give me suggestion that how can i achieve this?
Thanks!

To create a custom list view you need to follow some simple steps :
create the xml layout of one row of your list_view and the xml layout for the main activity including in it the listView control
create a custom adapter for the custom listview that allows you to get the texts and images in your custom ListView and change them
attach your data (as an arraylist) to the listView
I won't give you the code in this post, instead I will give you a very detailed tutorial that for me is the most straightforward to create what you want to achieve : Create custom listview tutorial

An excellent tutorial to do just like that -
Implement the customListView using BaseAdapter.
In CustomListView show the ImageViewwith TextView for each list item.

Android Customizable Expandable List View Item

My problem is simple: I need to make a layout similar to android.R.layout.simple_expandable_list_item_1 which can fit more than one textview in the layout, as well as show the little '>' symbol that indicates that the tab is expandable.
How can this best be accomplished? My first thought was to use the layout as a background of a linear layout with two textviews in it, but I can't seem to make that work.
Vogella has a pretty good tutorial on how to achieve custom list views through Adapters.
Basically, what you do is you create a Layout with the looks you want for the list items and then you extend an adapter (ArrayAdapter for instance), see section 4. Then, in your activity, you create an instance of your Adapter implementation and populate it from an Array containing the data for the list.
Also have a look at the Developers site for how to make the list scroll smoothly with the ViewHolder pattern.
And if you feel you need more info on the expandable part maybe the hive can help.

If what you want to do is a split view window with two diffrent Listviews that the one can pass data to another or update it in some way you need to take a look in List Fragments. There is a nice tutorial here : http://www.vogella.com/articles/AndroidFragments/article.html

How can i add ImageViews next to items in my ListView?

I am trying to make a recipe ListView for food and I want to add imageViews next to items in my list. How can i do that? Thx.
A ListView item can have it's own custom layout.
You have to create your adapter for the ListView. When you create your adapter you can assign your custom layout.
Note: You will have to implement getView() to property set the image+text.
Here you have a sample: Lazy load of images in ListView
Following this tutorial could be a nice idea for you (mainly the second example).

But anyway, you should Google a little bit before asking such a basic question.

how to set the checked/unchecked of CheckedTextView

I have create android listview that fill in using String array. I want to give checked/unchecked functionality it using android CheckedTextView widget. so how could I do this.? I googled using lot of key worlds but unable to find suitable tutorial.
I've found you a nice post that will help you out
http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/3e6c3c11353f59dc?pli=1
basicly, you call isItemChecked() on your listview to determine if it's checked or not, and what item is.
create xml file and put CheckedTextView in it and then create your own custom ListView By extending the ListView and inflate the same layout..
if you have apiDemos then you will find a class called List14.java which can guide you how to design such a ListView

listView with textBox in android?

I need to create a listView. Every row of the list contains textView and EditText .How to make it?Thanks in advance !!
Note: I need to design this by using java only(Without using xml)
You have to create a layout for a list row containing your edit box and text view. Then make sure your adapter inflates it correctly and you're set to go.
There are a lot of good tutorials around. For example here:
