There are several ways you could do this... You could implement it as an expandable listview that has the top-level item containing the type of car. When you click on that it expands and you have a list of the available models. When you click on one of the models you can have it display a separate activity with the information from the model.
Alternatively you can have three different activities... One listview activity for the type. Selecting one of these displays a second listview activity for the available models. Then selecting one of these displays a third activity for the selected model. The expandable list view is a little harder to implement, so as a beginner I would probably start with implementing the standard list views. You can find a sample for the regular list view here: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/views/hello-listview.html Depending on how "beginner" you are, I would probably start out with "Hello World" and the "Notepad Tutorial" Hello World: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/hello-world.html Notepad Tutorial: http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/index.html When I started Android Development I started by reading through all the Dev Guide documentation ( http://developer.android.com/guide/basics/what-is-android.html) and then working on the links I gave above. Hope that helps and good luck, Justin On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 5:51 PM, The Guy <[email protected]> wrote: > Am a beginner at android programming and am trying to create a list > view that has several options and within those options there are more > options and when selected information about the selected item appears. > > For Example, A list of cars: BMW, TOYOTA, Ferrari and so on.
