What is difference between android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 and android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2

Question

Can anyone explain android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1 and android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2 in arrayadapter in android.

I know in android.R.layout.simple_list_ite

Answer 1

I found this to be the simplest answer to your question:

ArrayAdapter adapter = new ArrayAdapter(context, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_2, android.R.id.text1, list) {
  @Override
  public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    View view = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
    TextView text1 = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text1);
    TextView text2 = (TextView) view.findViewById(android.R.id.text2);

    text1.setText(person[position].getName());
    text2.setText(person[position].getAge());
    return view;
  }
};

If you didn't notice: the trick is to supply android.R.id.text1 as (principally unneccessary) parameter to ArrayAdapter, otherwise the call to super will cause an exception.

Also, this solution does not need an Inflater or make use of TwoLineListItem, which was deprecated in API 17.
