You will notice that this is android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1. You
did not write this layout. Usually, if you are going to go to the
trouble of overriding getView(), you will use your own layout file for
the rows, so you have greater control. For example, if you use your
own layout file for the rows, then you are the one responsible for
setting your own view IDs.

You are welcome to replace "Hi, I am position " + position with your
actual data associated with that position. In this case, you are
telling Android not to bother inflating
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, but instead set the rows to be
what you are specifying here.
This is all covered in that excerpt that I linked to in the previous thread:
