Re: [android-developers] Re: how to show JSON data into list view

+1 to this - it is exactly the path I took.  It had the advantage too,
that when I added in an offline cache, I could reuse the ArrayAdapter
to display data from either JSON or SQLite.

Plus it makes the code a whole lot more readable.

 separate the implementation details of data sourcing and display into
 separate concerns.   This will also shield you from changes in the source
 JSON structure as well.
 If you go down this path, you can then write your own ArrayAdapter that
 works off your business objects.   e.g.  public class MyArrayAdapter extends
 ArrayAdapterMyBusinessObject 
 In this object, you can store a private member points to the list of
 business objects.  private ListMyBusinessObject list;
 Then its just a matter of pulling out the right object when the view is
 called and then mapping that to the fields that are in your list view.

 Hope that helps.
