Is there a super simple List / ListAdapter example out there for android

Question

I have a web service that returns a super simple list of objects

MyObject[] data = webServiceCall();

MyObject has 1 field i want to display, \"Name\"

Answer 1

so i think i figured it out with a little inspiration from RobGThai's answer, i'm posting the code for anyone else to see, i guess i didn't really use a custom adapter

This is the super simple example that got me started, so once i had this, I made sure my "MyObject" had a toString() method on it to show properly in the list and i passed the MyObject[] array into the "new ArrayAdapter" constructor instead of listItems

FooList.java

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;

public class FooList extends ListActivity {
    String[] listItems = {"item 1", "item 2 ", "list", "android", "item 3", "foobar", "bar", }; 
    @Override
     public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
         setContentView(R.layout.temp);
         setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(this,  android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, listItems));
     }

}

the layout xml i used (temp.xml)
