A custom adapter would solve your problem. This is because you can change the views that are being added to each row in the Listview, because you can change the content via logic that you implement in the custom adapter.

When the getView() method returns a view that is not null, this means for that particular row there is a view that was already there. As such if this is the case, you may or may not want to change content in that specific view. Or you could build a brand new view with dynamic content for that particular row.

One thing to note is that getView() will be called as many times as there are items found in your adapter.
