Answer 1

Please create your own ItemAdapter which extends ArrayAdapter<>.

public class ItemAdapter extends ArrayAdapter {
private int resource;
private List items;

public ItemAdapter(Context context, int resource, List items) {
    super(context, resource, items);
    this.resource = resource;
    this.items = items;
}

@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
    LinearLayout itemView;
    final Item item = getItem(position);

    if (convertView == null) {
        itemView = new LinearLayout(getContext());

        LayoutInflater layoutInflater = LayoutInflater.from(getContext());
        layoutInflater.inflate(resource, itemView, true);
    }
    else {
        itemView = (LinearLayout) convertView;
    }

And load your item.xml in MainActivity onCreate()

public class MainActivity{
    private List items;
    private ItemAdapter itemAdapter;
    @Override
      protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
      itemAdapter = new ItemAdapter(this, R.layout.item, items);
