I was working on an android project, the project includes an activity which has a edit text field, the edit text field when filled by the user should be entered in the customised list view along with the date the entry was made,
I can't decide as how should I create a new object for each edit text field and how should I display the date for each edit field?,could somebody please help me with this, I'd really appreciate the effort.Thanks
Try to use a ListActivity. You would be able to display only the text previously entered, with or without the date :)
You can have more information in the documentation : ListActivity
And in the ressources tutorial : Hello ListView
Do not hesitate to post a bit of code : it would be easier to help :)

I want to show suggestions not only as starting character but also a containing character... means 's' suggestions should be like tags,pas,also, and so on.
#sagar jagdale :
You can use Android AutoCompleteTextView.
It provides suggestions automatically when the user is typing. The list of suggestions is displayed in a drop down menu from which the user can choose an item to replace the content of the edit box with.

Use any stick header list view.
For reference you can use this one.
https://github.com/emilsjolander/StickyListHeaders.
and you can customize the section header view xml as your desire even like whatsapp containing date or any other way you want.
If it helps you, mark my ans. as up.
Yes you can do that using the same library what they used in that link you gave.Just try differentiating things with date where they did with alphabats.
Let me know if you need any assistance. Please mark this up if this helps.

my list view is looking like this.
Now i want to add a search bar on the top of this list view. if i press A in search bar then this list view should display all the name of university start with A, if i press some other character then according university name must be displayed.
Please tell me how can implement this. Is any way to make search bar in android. I have seen in iPhone, it works very efficiently in iPhone. Please help me how can make this search bar ?
Thank you in advance...
This may be the long way. but this is just an idea..
I think you have to create a layout xml file with one EditText and ListView. Inside activity you have to listen for textChange in EditText and then probably you have to filter your ListAdapterbased on the text entered by the user and bind it with ListView.
See the complete example here : http://www.androidpeople.com/android-listview-searchbox-sort-items
You can use setTextFilterEnabled(true) on your list view.
I think this may help you to get an idea. http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-autocomplete.html
I am new to android. I was stuck on a problem but I finally solved it.
I was using a TextField instead of CompleteTextViewField so whats the difference between these two and when should I use each one of them?
Thanks
Neither of those classes you mention (TextField, CompleteTextViewField) exist. Do you mean EditText and AutoCompleteTextView? I think the documentation explains it pretty well:
[AutoCompleteTextView is] An editable text view that shows completion suggestions automatically while the user is typing. The list of suggestions is displayed in a drop down menu from which the user can choose an item to replace the content of the edit box with.
That is, use it rather than a normal EditText if you have a set of common autocompletions for what gets entered in the box. The docs also link to a full sample that shows how to populate that list of suggestions with an Adapter.
What type of textview should I use so that everytime i touch it, it will display the most recent entries used in a dropdown box? AutoComplete and MultiAutoComplete are confusing to me...
Thank you
Auto Complete Tutorial will help you. If user writes something to textView and submit it, then you can save this string to a file. And if you add this to the string array which mentioned in tutorial, auto complete dropdown will appear...
