[android-developers] Re: ListActivity mandatory for listView ?

2009-12-07 Thread Jags
For example, I am doing a app where i need to store things to do, I
need to have a add, delete and edit functionality for the app. Should
I use 3 different activities or 3 different layouts for these
functionality ?

  I am starting with ListActivity.

  I saw apidemos and saw that it is based on ListActivity. My doubt is,
  in my first screen I need a few labels and texts under that a list.
  How to approach this ? I cant do a setContentlayut(R.id.main) if my
  activity extends ListActivity, no ?

 Yes, you can. Your ListView needs to have android:id=@android:id/list.
 For an example, see:

 http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-android/tree/master/Selection/List/

  more over I found the tutorial posted in the forums for ListActivity a
  bit outdated. Where is 1.5 / 1.6 based tutorials ? because I am new,
  it is taking too much time to correct 1.1 codes.

 In your SDK. There is a set of ApiDemos for each version of the Android
 SDK API that you have downloaded.

  lastly, if i have a todo type appfor adding deleting and deleting,
  should i use 3 different layouts or activities ?

 That is difficult to answer without a lot more detail.

Probably both: three different activities, each perhaps with its own layout.
