Adding image to android listview

Question

I'm trying to reference an image inside my java class. Since Im using simple_list_item_1, Im unsure how to pull this image in from my drawable folder. Any guidance would be much appreciated. Here is my code:

public class Menu extends ListActivity {

  private static String imageView45;

  String classes[] = { "menu item 1", "menu item 2" };

  @Override
  protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    ImageView imgView = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView45);
    imgView.setImageResource(R.drawable.listlogobgk);

    setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(Menu.this,
        android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, classes));
  }

  public static String getImageView45() {
    return imageView45;
  }

  public static void setImageView45(String imageView45) {
    Menu.imageView45 = imageView45;
  }

  @Override
  protected void onListItemClick(ListView l, View v, int position, long id) {
    super.onListItemClick(l, v, position, id);
    String thisthing = classes[position];

    try {
      @SuppressWarnings("rawtypes")
      Class ourClass = Class.forName("my.package.android." + thisthing);
      Intent ourIntent = new Intent(Menu.this, ourClass);
      startActivity(ourIntent);
    } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
      e.printStackTrace();
    }
  }
}

Please clear your question more. What you want inside your list view? Something regarding that? — Hamza Waqas

My goal is to add an image to the listview, then display my list below that. — MADPADGE

Okay, so for this. You need to extend your ArrayAdapter with your custom adapter. — Hamza Waqas

your problem can be solved by extending your own adapter from ArrayAdapter. After that, override your getView() method and inflate layout for this. Please follow this link Check out 5.0 Example for extended adaper

Hope, this will work easily!
