Android - Modify displayed text in ListView items

I have a ListView loaded with an ArrayAdapter<File> and it shows the file path as the text of each item.

I would like to modify that.

I've read about modifying the getView() method from a custom ArrayAdapter but I am not sure if this is the correct path yet.

Any aid?

Thanks.

Solution

  • You need to return to implement your own ArrayAdapter and Override the getView method to return your own view.

    Find an example here:
