class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity(){
        
            var listItems = arrayListOf()
            val array = arrayOf("a","b","c","d","e")
            var listView: ListView? = null
    
            private lateinit var adapter: listViewAdapter
        
            override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
                super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
                setContentView(R.layout.scrollview_layout)
        
                listItems.add("a")
                listItems.add("b")
                listItems.add("c")
                listItems.add("d")
                listItems.add("e")
        
                //if you want to add array items to a list you can try this for each loop
                for(items in array)
                    listItems.add(items)
                
                //check the result in console
                Log.e("TAG","listItems array: $listItems")
    
            adapter = ListViewAdapter()
            adapter.updateList(listItems)
            adapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
        
            }
        }


//Here is the adapter class
    class ListviewAdapter : BaseAdapter(){
    
    private var itemsList = arrayListOf()
    
    override fun getView(position: Int, container: View?, parent: ViewGroup?): View {
            var view  = container
            val inflater = context.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE) as LayoutInflater
            if (view == null)
                view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_pc_summary, parent, false)
    
    return view
    }
    
    override fun getItem(position: Int): Any  = itemsList[position]
    
    override fun getItemId(position: Int): Long = position.toLong()
    
    override fun getCount(): Int = itemsList.size
    
    fun updateList(listItems: ArrayList()){
        this.itemsList = listItems
        notifyDatSetChanged
    
    }
   
        }
       
    //Here I just explained two ways, we can do this many ways.
