Is this the right way to add 2 arrays into SimpleAdapter?

Question

I use SimpleAdapter to display 2 strings, one on the left and the other on the right, into a ListView,

The strings are in 2 different arrays. and 1st from array A with 1st in array B are in the 1st line, and so on..

Here is a part of the code I use:

    String[] array= getResources().getStringArray(R.array.Names_List);
    
    int lengthtmp= array.length;
    for(int i=0;i<lengthtmp;i++)
    {
        counter++;
        AddToList(array[i]);            
    }

    adapter = new SimpleAdapter(this,list,R.layout.start_row,new String[] {"number","suraname"},new int[] {R.id.Start_Numbering,R.id.Start_Name});

      
   private void AddToList(String name) {
    HashMap<String,String> temp = new HashMap<String,String>();

    
    temp.put("number", Integer.toString(SortingPictures[counter-1]));

    temp.put("suraname", name);
    list.add(temp);

}

I'm sure there is a better way to make what I want. What's the correct way?
