I am new to android, can any one post the code for the below scenario.
I have set of data like first name, last name, date and id from arraylist to the listview to display, i need to filter it through id and when i click any item in the reduced listview, i need to pass the id so i can display that particular item details seperately in another activity and i have used Custom ArrayAdapter
I have created a demo project which is doing exactly what you need,but yes,you need to extend BaseAdapter for this rather than using ArrayAdapter.
here is the whole source code,
Search on custom adapter
I hope it will be helpful !
A nice tutorial here exactly suits for your requirement. you can go through it

I need to create a listview that looks like Stack of list items .
The list should be similar to the one that we see in the Notification Bar or else it should be like most recent Apps in Android L.
Can anyone help me with idea of how to implement such type of list or some sample code fragment.
Use Base Adapter . You can define the element of list anyway you want.
Try using ListView for the UI development and implement the suitable adapter for it.
You need to have three things:
Source of data which you want to display your list view.
Fragment/UI [List View] for displaying the data.
An adapter which binds data to list view.

I am doing android application. In That I want to display a List of podcast urls like shown in the Image. In this I also share this url into FB, twitter and etc and also the user clicks the arrow symbol I want to forward to that podcast url.
I am having those values in separate arraylist (i.e. "4353,3424" as a arraylist and "567567, 234234" as a another arraylist likewise). So how can I display these values like shown in the attached image. Can anyone help me how to proceed to display like this?
I'd recommend you had a look at some of the tutorials on how to implement your own custom ListView.
An example can be found here: http://www.thepcwizard.in/2012/09/android-creating-custom-listview-for.html
Also I'd recommend you create a custom class for holding the different informations in every row of the ListView. When doing it like this you can have one single List<MyCustomObject> holding all informations and then when a row is clicked, you simple get the item from the List<MyCustomObject> and get the specific property of the custom object and act accordingly.
EDIT: Small example of how to add onClickListener to a sub-view of the row:
Inside the getView method of the custom Adapter you can use setOnClickListener to the views, you'd like to respond to clicks. For instance:
myImageView.setOnClickListener(this);
Then let your custom Adapter implement the interface OnClickListener and act accordingly to the clicks.
Another way would also be to add a Share Intent to the different images, like in this example:
http://sudarmuthu.com/blog/sharing-content-in-android-using-action_send-intent
You would need to create a custom ArrayAdapter to populate a ListView from this objects the way you want.
The advantage of this technic is that you gain a Views recycle mechanism that will recycle the Views inside you ListView in order to spend less memory.
In Short you would have to:
1. Create an object that represents your data for a single row.
2. Create an ArrayList of those objects.
3. Create a layout that contains a ListView or add a ListView to you main layout using code.
4. Create a layout of a single row.
5. Create a ViewHolder that will represent the visual aspect of you data row from the stand point of Views.
6. Create a custom ArrayAdapter that will populate the rows according to you needs.
7. Finally assign this ArrayAdapter to your ListView in onCreate.
You can get an Idea of how to implement this by reading this blog post I wrote:
Create a Custom ArrayAdapter
I have an object submission which contains some informations which I would like to show in a list view.
For example, in my object I can do this:
submission.firstElement().getDate()
and
submission.firstElement().getTitle()
which returns me a date and a title.
My problem is: how to show those two elements (not only the first's) in a listview (two elements per list item).
I have thinked on a for loop with the submission.size() but I have no idea how to get forward with.
Thank you for your help.
You'll want to look at using a ListView and a ArrayAdapter. You could use a BaseAdapter but I have found a ArrayAdapter more than adequate for displaying a list of custom objects in a ListView.
First create a layout that will be used to show the desired data per row in the ListView. In your case I assume that it will be two TextViews, one showing the title and date.
Once done, create a ListAdapter and in it's constructor give it the layout for the row created above. Once done, use the getView() function to access the layout and populate the TextView's with the object's date and title.
Have a look at the following links:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/ArrayAdapter.html
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/BaseAdapter.html
http://www.vogella.de/articles/AndroidListView/article.html
EDIT:
Ana, to aid you a bit further use a ListActivity as shown in this Google documentation: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/ListActivity.html. In the example given they use a SimpleListAdapter. However, for an ArrayAdapter the constructor is a little simpler:
new ArrayListAdapter(this, R.layout.row_layout, listOfObjects);
When using a ListActivity a layout does not need to be created as by default it includes one.
I would like to create an ListActivity that's arranged somehow different than a usual list: it should contain, on each list row, multiple selectable items (image buttons to be more precise).
The items will be loaded from a SQLite db using a cursor.
My questions are:
I'm not sure I should use a ListActivity for this functionality. It looks like a List, but with custom design and behavior, so if anybody can suggest any other way to do it..
Assuming I can use a ListActivity, what I can't figure out is how can I do it. All the examples so far refer to list with only one item per row.
Thank you !
Create your custom adapter by
extending BaseAdapter class, So you
can custmize listview howerver you
want. Then palce your image buttons in
each listitem and provide
setOnClickListener for each image
buttons inside the adapter class:

Can I use my existing ListView as a sub-view in another view.
eg. I have a custom view, players list, I have implemented with a ListActivity and ArrayAdapter and is working fine.
Now I want a way to get this listview as View object so that I can add this view object as a child to another view.
I am thinking like, to build entire listview: my ListActivity is calling the ArrayAdapter iteratively by passing ArrayList item each time to build a list item view.
If I am correct, I need a way to call the same ArrayAdapter and need to prepare a ListView Object, right?
Can anybody plz help me.
Thanks in advance.

The ListView and the Adapter are two different things:
The data is somewhere (in an array or if you need to be able to add/remove items, in an ArrayList)
The Adapter contains the data
The ListView displays it.
So:
Construct your empty ArrayList
Construct your adapter based on your ArrayList
Construct your ListView based on the Adapter
Then:
Each time you need to change the data, update the ArrayList
Call Adapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
Watch your list being automatically updated :)
To add your list to a tablelayout, see the API documentation, SDK tutorial and this tutorial which has a specific section on how to add rows programmatically.
