I can't seem to find what am looking for.
I would like to know how to change all the textview fonts in all my listviews. I have my text font but when i try to apply it to code it only works for one textview1 etc.
I have been reading that i need a custom adapter to change listview styles but i don't know where to start as i am very new to android and coding. I guess am looking for a site that will get me started if anyone can help.
custom style listview for dummies lets say ;)
There is tons of information and tutorials on creating custom ListViews. I'll link some tutorials here but you really could have found what you needed by just doing a little bit more searching.
Creating Custom Adapter and ListView 1
Creating Custom Adapter and ListView 2
If you have any questions or run into trouble with these I am willing to help.

How to create this type of dropdown in android ?
Any help will be appreciated :)
You can create custom spinner adapter with different itemTypes. Or you can change your spinner to some kind of ExpandableRecyclerView or ExpandableListView. If you need example links just let me know, but its pretty easy to find them in Google. Good luck.
I want to create a GridView like this one:
But, I don't know how! I know how work with Android GridView, but not like this one.
Suggestions of library or any tip will be welcome.
Thanks.

The View you are referring to can quite easily be created without using a GridView. If your components (clothing, bags, shoes etc.) are static, you can use nested LinearLayouts (with weights) inside a ScrollView.
Suggestions of library or any tip will be welcome.
You can try StaggeredGridView: Link

I have to make a custom list view with custom header, ( different text in each headers) and different number of items below each header. I have been going through various section indexing examples but I think they are not relevant much to my answer.
Anybody please suggest me a good means to move around such type of list view in android.
This might be a duplicate of Android Listview with sections
There are lots of different ones out there. One example is: http://w2davids.wordpress.com/android-sectioned-headers-in-listviews which uses: http://jsharkey.org/blog/2008/08/18/separating-lists-with-headers-in-android-09
That one allows you to pass in different array adapters for each section so that you can have different layouts for each section's items.
If you were more clear about what the ones you have seen fail to do that you need it would be easier to offer you something you haven't seen.
There has been lot of thread exists on the Stackoverflow, check:
Android Listview with sections
Android ListView section header
How to draw a section header in Android listview just like the Contacts app did ？
But I am not sure these threads has helpful info, but if you want to read, understand and implement ListView with sections then here is one of the great and detailed article given by Cyril: ListView Tips & Tricks #2: Sectioning Your ListView
For a more complex design with sections in list, you should try this very standard library : https://github.com/emilsjolander/StickyListHeaders.
Other alternatives mentionned are great.
I should mention that the only drawback of this library is a poor mavenization and its absence on central.
Try this tutorial..its very nice and simple

There's a very good library for this. I've used in a project or 2 myself. Check it out:

Why can't you use expandable list view?

i am pretty new to all this Monodroid stuff.
I am porting my Windows Phone Applications over to Android, so far so good as far as recreating the AXML UI but when trying to port my custom usercontrol, that inherit from the UserControl class, i can't seem to figure out how to do it.
Could someone give me a small example?
What i actually want to do is to create a custom reusable control that have a simple colored rectangle on the left and some text on its right.
I want to be able to populate a listview(don't know how to do that one either) by instanciating the control as many times as i need it.
I have no clue how to create the control itself and instanciate it to fill the listview programmatically.
Thanks in advance!
I would recommend reading through this set of tutorials on Xamarin's site for an introduction to how lists work in Android. Rather than using a custom "control", it sounds like all you really want is a custom row layout, which is covered in Part 3.
Hai!
In my application i want to change the listView text color in android.
How can i achieve this.
any solution will be appreciated...
ListView uses some optimizations when displaying itself, so you have to take some care when changing colors: http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/listview-backgrounds.html
You'll need to use a custom Adapter to do this. This tutorial looks pretty good: custom list view
