Sorting Custom ListView with Image and Text items

You need to sort the data structure before setting in the listview. it is only the possible way i think

First sort your data like this
Collections.sort(myList, new Comparator<WeatherData>() {
#Override
public int compare(WeatherData lhs, WeatherData rhs) {
return lhs.degree.compareTo(rhs.degree);
}
});
and then apply it to your adapter.

Android Gridview: how to pass an XML to Gridview?

I have a control Gridview and an XML that must populate the GridView.
XML is:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1' ?>
<MEDS>
<MED>
<NOM>GELOCATIL</NOM>
<COD>12812931</COD>
</MED>
<MED>
<NOM>OTRO GELOCATIL</NOM>
<COD>1281293222</COD>

How do I create a Cursor for this? Or alternatives, pls?
Bye.

gridViewObj.setListAdapter(Adapters.loadAdapter(this, R.xml.contacts));
gridViewObj : GridView Object
xml source : R.xml.contacts
[for More info click here][1]

I think the right answer is to do an adapter class specific for this xml. But it is more complicated and takes more time. #Sravan has not provided the code so I am obliged to give this answer as right.
We can look for a creative and easy solution although not optimized.
If the case is that you only need 1 or 2 fields of the XML, which can be usual, because you're showing a list that is clickable, so you need only to show to title and to give a substantial information (id for example or use the text of the title itself) so that when you click, takes you to another activity.
So the easiest is to use an ArrayAdapter, a TreeMap and an ArrayList
TreeMap<String, String> xmlMapping;
//here you add the values of the xml with Xpath to the variables clave and valor
xmlMapping.put(clave,valor);
ArrayList<String> lista=new ArrayList<String>();
for(Map.Entry<String, String> entry: xmlMapping.entrySet())
{
lista.add(entry.getKey());
}
ArrayAdapter ad=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this.activity.getApplicationContext(),
R.layout.gridrow,R.id.colName,
lista);
grid.setAdapter(ad);
Then to know which element has been clicked the only thing is to iterate through the xmlMapping or take the value of the ArrayList.

How can I select list of items in listview within my code ( not by user)

How can I 'check' list of items in listview within my code ( not by user)
ProcessList.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_multiple_choice,nameList ));
ProcessList.setChoiceMode(ListView.CHOICE_MODE_MULTIPLE);
for example like ProcessList.(check these items...)
Just like we get items 'checked' by user from: ProcessList.getItemAtPosition(position);
Pls also suggest me anyother way..

Call setItemChecked() on the ListView for each position to be checked.
Also, please grow up. Badgering people on Twitter minutes after you post a question on StackOverflow is infantile. This is a volunteer resource -- if you require answers to questions in under an hour, hire a consultant.

Listview delete item from Database

Hey. I have the following code:
final String text = (String) lt.getItemAtPosition(position);
db.removeCategory(text);
What I want to do is to remove a item from a ListView. The problem I have is that I only can remove the item that is in the first position of the list.
Is like the getItemAtPosition(0);
Why's that? Can somebody help?
Thanks

Bind your array to ArrayAdapter and use its remove method to remove particular object. Refer this link to get some understanding of how it works.
Remove ListView items in Android

Why don't you add items into a collection or data datable and then bind it to ListView.
In ste removal phase you delete the item from the collection/data table instead direct one from the ListView.
