adding images in the dynamic listview

Question

I'm using the following code for the dynamic ListView. I need to add some images in fromt of the text in the ListView

ListView listView = (ListView) menu.findViewById(R.id.list);
initListView(this, listView, "", 5, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1);

public  void initListView(Context context, ListView listView, String prefix, int numItems, int layout) {
    // By using setAdpater method in listview we an add string array in list.
    String[] arr ={"A","B","C","D","E"};

    listView.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(context, layout, arr));
    listView.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {

        }
    });
}

Please let me know how to add images in my code.

you can't do that using ArrayAdapter. Create a CustomAdapter for it. Search for tutorial on here — Aprian

you could use this kind of adapter :

public class CustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter{

String[] arr ={"A","B","C","D","E"};
Context context;

public CustomAdapter(Context context){
    this.context = context;
}

@Override
public int getCount() {
    return arr.length;
}

@Override
public String getItem(int arg0) {
    return arr[arg0];
}

@Override
public long getItemId(int arg0) {
    return 0;
}

@Override
public View getView(int arg0, View arg1, ViewGroup arg2) {
    LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(context);
    layout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);

    TextView text = new TextView(context);
    text.setText(getItem(arg0));

    ImageView image = new ImageView(context);
    image.setImageResource(android.R.drawable.ic_menu_gallery);
    layout.addView(image);
    layout.addView(text);

    return layout;
}

}

As was already suggested, you need to use other Adapters like SimpleCursorAdapter

List with images can be quite complex if you want to load images from url also

I highly recomend you look at this code which has full implementation of ListView with Images with LazyLoading

This is a modified version of the LazyList project with quite some additions: https://github.com/nostra13/Android-Universal-Image-Loader I'm using it in some projects and its quite good!
