Ah, I think I see your point. I don't need a different view layout for each item in the list, but I would like to define what's going to be in the layout of each item. The problem is I need *two* pieces of information for each layout, not one - the item resource for the icon, and the string resource for the text. Any way to define multi- dimensional arrays?
