How can format Android ListView for html?

Question

With my ListView in Android Application made in Eclipse:

ArrayList<String> planetList = new ArrayList<String>();
planetList.addAll(Arrays.asList(xRemote));

listAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.simplerow,
        R.id.rowTextView, planetList);          

listAdapter.addAll(xRemote);
mainListView.setAdapter(listAdapter);

Get this output:

How can I format this output in html?

Have a look at Html.fromHtml() developer.android.com/reference/android/text/… — Ken Wolf

listAdapter.addAll(Html.fromHtml(xRemote.toString())); The method addAll(Collection<? extends String>) in the type ArrayAdapter<String> is not applicable for the arguments (Spanned) — Hamamelis

Your best bet is to create a custom View for each ListItem based on the HTML response (e.g., an ImageView positioned next to a Textenter code hereView, with link behaviors, etc), but you could technically use a WebView for each ListItem, but that'd be pretty inefficient.

To provide a custom View (or ViewGroup), you provide your own implementation of an Adapter class, and override the appropriate methods. For example, you might create a custom class that extends BaseAdapter (probably the most flexible option), and override the getView method to return the appropriate set of elements. There are many tutorials and examples for custom ListViews with Adapters all over the net and the Android docs.
