How do I create a listview with add/remove buttons and edit in place like in the Contacts or People app?

Do I need to subclass MvxAdapter in some way or is this a control that would have to inherit from MvxListView?

You need to create a custom Adapter that extend BaseAdapter and use a custom layout

Simply proceed with a custom ListView.
Here is a nice tutorial on custom ListViews.

Best way to create custom list layout in Android

i am new to Android. I need to create a layout having list views along with textview and image icons. Please refer the attached screenshot and give me suggestion that how can i achieve this?
Thanks!

To create a custom list view you need to follow some simple steps :
create the xml layout of one row of your list_view and the xml layout for the main activity including in it the listView control
create a custom adapter for the custom listview that allows you to get the texts and images in your custom ListView and change them
attach your data (as an arraylist) to the listView
I won't give you the code in this post, instead I will give you a very detailed tutorial that for me is the most straightforward to create what you want to achieve : Create custom listview tutorial

An excellent tutorial to do just like that -
Implement the customListView using BaseAdapter.
In CustomListView show the ImageViewwith TextView for each list item.

Custom Spinner With Buttons

I am wanting to create a custom Android spinner such that there are 2 buttons at the bottom of the pop-open list. These buttons will cause another popup. I see two possible methods for creating the buttons. As I am still new to Android I don't know which is better or perhaps there is a third method?
1) In the adapter class, getCustomView() method, return a layout with two buttons in it for the last item in the list. This seems awkward to me. And it pretty much forces me to put the adapter in the view object so that I can control it.
2) Create a totally new custom view object. This seems like a lot of work since the spinner is pretty close to what I need already.
3) ?
I am looking for some expert Android developer opinions. Thanks in advance!

You can go through the following code which I made for custom spinner:
Spinner custom layout keep default layout

How to modify ListView on ICS so it looks like an about activity in google+ app?

I want to do a similar activity in my app. I know how to modify the Adapter class, but in my opinion it's difficult for this situation. Is there more simple way to do a similar activity? Image is here:

In my opinion, it is not a ListView, It is just a LinearLayout with vertical orientation inside ScrollView. Avoid using ListView if you have few static views.

If you mean the list adapter of this activity , try CWAC Merge Adapter , I use that implement a similar activity.
And if you mean the Tab Adapter , use ActionbarSherlock with ViewPager in android-support-v4 , I have done that too.
They all have demos , try them out.

how to set the checked/unchecked of CheckedTextView

I have create android listview that fill in using String array. I want to give checked/unchecked functionality it using android CheckedTextView widget. so how could I do this.? I googled using lot of key worlds but unable to find suitable tutorial.

I've found you a nice post that will help you out

basicly, you call isItemChecked() on your listview to determine if it's checked or not, and what item is.

create xml file and put CheckedTextView in it and then create your own custom ListView By extending the ListView and inflate the same layout..
if you have apiDemos then you will find a class called List14.java which can guide you how to design such a ListView
