Reusing android listview - android

I am trying to create a listview with add button on the side as shown in the right image http://developer.android.com/resources/articles/images/android.png
Is it possible to reuse this existing layout object. If so what is it called exactly? All I can find in the default listview is simple checkboxes and other listviews without buttons.

You can create your own listview by making an extra xml in your layout folder.
for example your make a textview and next to that textview a button, then inflate that.

Alternate for a listview with single row

I have a ImageView with a TextView and Button. I have it currently in a custom list view, but I noticed now that I don't need to show more as one element (object). So I actually don't need a Listview to show the row (list entry). How can I show the list entry without a Listview?
You can put the elements of your custom listview item into a Layout, e.g. LinearLayout and simply add it to your activity's layout where you needed it.
You can set an OnClickListener for that layout, so user can click the whole thing.
I think you should use ListActivity. Then you can set up empty view for list. Here some tutorial: ListActivity and ListView Tips.
Also you can implement that logic with Recycler view by yourself or use library.
Here is solution from stackoverflow

How to customize ListView with ToggleButtons

I am making an android application.I have ListView in it which contains four rows having textView i.e
Hide
Unhide
Add Users
Delete users
I want to add ToggleButton in ListView for first two rows but don n't want to show it for other rows. How can i customize my ListView in this way.
Any help will be appreciated
You have to write a custom BaseAdapter. There you have the method getView() that is called for each listItem, so this is the right palce to define the layout of the listItems.
Please look at this article to ensure a smooth scrolling of your list.
And you can find a good Tutorial on Vogellas site.
If you want to add toggle button for first two rows only and not for all rows then one easy thing you can do is add in the custom listview layout file both the textview and toggle button but while implementing add (null) in the toggle button's place in the adapter for the rows for which you don't want the toggle button...

delete and add list in custom listview in android

I had created dynamic layout and that set as list in custom listview using adapter. In that dynamic layout one button , when i click on that button then that layout delete from list and add new dynamically created layout at deleted position.
I used some way to solve it.but not work it:
holder.ll_business_reviews.removeViewAt(v.getId());
holder.ll_business_reviews.addView(ll_fnl,v.getId());
notifyDataSetChanged();
(ll_fnl this is a dynamically created layout.

Creating an Android GridView full of Buttons. Which Adapter?

I need to create a GridView full of Buttons, each labelled with text from a query.
Which Adapter should I use? A ResourceCursorAdapter, a SimpleCursorAdapater or something else?
(SimpleCursorAdpater seems like it would do the job, except I can't work out how to tell it to put the colum values as an attribute of the button, rather than the content.)
If the you're looking to handle the actual click event of the button (and not the actual parent grid item), I would just extend CursorAdapter and write your own custom CursorAdapter. Inflate your own layout containing the button, set the text, and set the click event.

Using notepad example, add a back button

I have an activity that calls the
new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.notes_row, c, from, to);
setListAdapter(notes);
I would like to add a button to the notes_row.xml that displays at the bottom of the screen "on top of" the actual notes_row allowing the user to still scroll through the list but hit the button if they want. Every time I try to change the layout of notes_row, I get the button on each item in the list. I am pretty new to Android and I think I need to inflate the button somehow so that it is layered in front of the list but doesn't impede the list, how do I go about doing that?
The R.layout.notes_row is the layout for each individual row. You will need to create a custom ListView.
Here is a tutorial: http://www.androidpeople.com/android-custom-listview-tutorial-example/
It sounds like you are adding the button to the notes_row layout. That will add it to each row.
Instead, you want to add it to the layout for the Activity. Are you extending from ListActivity? You could try adding the button as a footer to the ListView.
Otherwise, you can extend from a standard Activity and supply a layout file for that activity that includes a ListView and a Button. If you haven't yet, read through declaring layout and common layout objects to get a start on creating a layout.
If you will try to edit notes_row.xml file and add a button there it will come in each row, what you can do .. try editing the xml for the parent activity where you are trying to put you list view. In that xml you can easily put a button at the bottom
