ListView is a common UI component in Android development that displays a list of items. It is used to display a vertically scrolling list of items to the user. This component is particularly useful for displaying large amounts of data in a user-friendly manner.
Features
- Vertical Scrolling: The ListView allows users to scroll through the list vertically.
- Customizable: You can customize the appearance of the ListView by setting various attributes and using different layout managers.
- Dynamic Content: The ListView can dynamically load and display content as the user scrolls through the list.
Usage
To use a ListView in your Android application, you need to add it to your XML layout file and define the layout for the individual items within the list.
<ListView
android:id="@+id/listView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
You can then populate the ListView with data using an ArrayAdapter or a custom adapter.
ListView listView = findViewById(R.id.listView);
String[] items = new String[]{"Item 1", "Item 2", "Item 3"};
ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, items);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);
