Adding subitem to ListView

ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
ArrayAdapter<String> dataAdaptor = new ArrayAdapter<String> (this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, android.R.id.text1, cars);
list.setAdapter(dataAdaptor);
I write that codes for listview but I don't know how I get data for subitem. How can I do this?

A ListView item can have it's own custom layout. When you create your adapter for the ListView you can pass in the layout id to the Adapter constructor.
If you want to show some more details like image and text or two textview then You will have to extend an Adapter and implement getView() to property set the image+text.
please check this answer with examples.

How I can populate a ListView with a Cursor?

Is it possible to load all items in the adapter at once?
I am using a CursorLoader, a ListView and a Cursor adapter, the items in the the adapter are loaded with scrolling.
I know I have only few simple items (about 10) so I do not have performance problems
Thanks

Read this Populating-a-ListView-with-a-CursorAdapter or this Android Cursor Example
If you want to use an ArrayList (getted from Populating a ListView using an ArrayList):
lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.your_list_view_id);
// Instanciating an array list (you don't need to do this,
// you already have yours).
List<String> your_array_list = new ArrayList<String>();
your_array_list.add("foo");
your_array_list.add("bar");
// This is the array adapter, it takes the context of the activity as a
// first parameter, the type of list view as a second parameter and your
// array as a third parameter.
ArrayAdapter<String> arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(
this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,
your_array_list );
lv.setAdapter(arrayAdapter);

Programatically replace String Array in a ListView Array Adapter

I have a ListView that i have populated with a string array: {"1","2","3"} using an Array Adapter.
(ListView) ListOptions = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.ListOptions);
String[] exampleString = new String[]{"1","2","3"};
ListAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,exampleString);
ListOptions.setAdapter(adapter);
Later on, i want to be able to change exampleString to exampleString2:
{"4","5","6"}
and have the ListView update with exampleString2 displayed as the list options.
is there something i can do along the lines of:
adapter.ChangeStringArray(exampleString2);
ListView.setAdapter(adapter);
I want to avoid having to create a new adapter each time I change the String array that is populating the list items.

ArrayAdapter has methods for managing the backing data array.
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, new ArrayList<String>());
adapter.addAll(exampleString);
adapter.clear();
adapter.addAll(exampleString2);
adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

Populating ListView with ArrayAdapter force closes

I am trying to use the following code to populate a ListView using a predefined array of strings:
String[] schedule_names = getResources().getStringArray(R.array.test_schedules);
// Populate the ListView using the array of schedule names
ArrayList<String> als = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(schedule_names));
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.id.listView, als);
adapter.add("Test");
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
But it force closes unless I comment out listView.setAdapter(adapter); (which obviously means the ListView isn't populated at all). It seems the reason is a NullPointerException.
Why is this?

This line is wrong...
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.id.listView, als);
...the second parameter of the constructor should not be your ListView, it should be a layout with a TextView.
Try replacing R.id.listView with android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1

Android ListView setAdapter issue

I'm trying to bind data do a listview on android, but I'm not able to.
I saw some code on the internet and it worked, but I just don't know why, and I don't want to create a new ListView on the fly, I want to use the one that is listed on the main.xml
Why I can do this:
ListView lv = new ListView(this);
lv.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,PEOPLE));
setContentView(lv);
But I can't do this:
ListView listPessoas = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listPessoas);
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.id.listPessoas, PESSOAS);
listPessoas.setAdapter(adapter);

What is R.id.pessoas??
This works fine for me:
String[] x = new String[]{"AAA","BBB","CCC"};
ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
ArrayAdapter<String> test = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1,x);
lv.setAdapter(test);

Your error here is when you are creating the new ArrayAdapter. You are passing R.id.listPessoas as the row view to use for each row. This is the id of the ListView. The adapter is looking for a layout id containing a text view to be used for each row of the list. Change the R.id.listPessoas to android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 and your code should work. The simple_list_item_1 layout is just a TextView that the data will be bound to.

What you have written is not correct, the second parameter in the array adapter constructor should be the simple layout for each list item not again your list view.
If your have a custom complex layout for your list item you need to write a custom adapter as well.

If you are getting error.
getApplicationContext(); will work instead of 'this'.
