Multiple ListViews with Custom Adapters in a Single Layout

Question

I created a Custom Tab Navigator and now I need to know how can I use multiple ListViews which will receive Custom Adapters.

When I needed to use a Custom Adapter I created a ListView with id=android:list and set the class to Extends ListActivity. But now I think I can't do that...

Answer 1

To have multiple listViews on a single activity, don't need to extend ListActivity. Just add normal ListViews to the xml lauyout file and the reference them on the activity and set the adapters you want.

Example: xmlfile

<ListView android:id="@+id/list_view1" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content">
 </ListView>

<ListView android:id="@+id/list_view2" android:layout_width="fill_parent"
 android:layout_height="wrap_content">
 </ListView>

On the activity:

setContentView(R.layout.xmlfile)...

ListView lv1 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_view1);
ListView lv2 = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list_view2);

lv1.setAdaper(new CustomAdapter1());
lv2.setAdaper(new CustomAdapter2());
