Creating a ListView layout from an ArrayList

Question

What I want to do in one of my tabs in my application is have a ListView of contacts. Though, in that example, the ListView is made from an array of Strings. Is there a way that I can create one of those using the values from an ArrayList?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes. Create an ArrayAdapter and pass in the ArrayList in the [constructor][2].

Answer 2

Yes you can.

This tutorial explains everything, including how to do the xml files and java files.

Answer 3

I actually did some more Google'ing of this, and I found this:

String str [] = (String []) neoFriends.toArray (new String [neoFriends.size ()]);

Where neoFriends is the ArrayList<String>.
