I'm not sure what your view is but have you creating it manually over inflating the XML:

   ArrayList myList = getData();
    for(String data : myList) {

        LinearLayout layout = new LinearLayout(this);
        layout.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,             LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
        TextView textView = new TextView(this);
        textView.setLayoutParams(new LinearLayout.LayoutParams(LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT, LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));

        textView.setText(data);

        layout.addChild(textView);         

        parentPanel.addView(layout);
    }

But yeah your clearly attempting something that has been done for you with Simple ListView & API
