Like Romain said, the number of items in the entire list is not the same as the number of child-views of the list.
You should know the number of items in the list. You (your code) put the items in the list. If you use a list-adapter (Adapter, BaseAdapter, etc) to provide the data for creating all the list-items, do a 'getCount()' on this adapter. In other words, go to the code/ class that provides the data for your list and ask that code/class how many items it provides for your list. That's the number you want. As for the number of child-views: This number more-or-less corresponds to the number of *visible* list-items in your list. E.g. if you list contains 1000 items and about 6 are visible at any given time, the call to listView.getChildCount() would return a number around 6.
