+
+<p>A {@link android.widget.ListView} is a View that shows items in a vertically scrolling list. The items are
+ acquired from a {@link android.widget.ListAdapter}.</p>
+
+
+<ol>
+ <li>Start a new project/ListActivity called HelloListView.</li>
+ <li>Open the HelloListView Java file. Make the class extend ListActivity (instead of Activity).
+ <pre>public class HelloListView extends ListActivity {</pre>
+ </li>
+ <li>Insert the following for the <code>onCreate()</code> method:
+<pre>
+&#64;Override
+public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
+ super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
+
+ setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter&lt;String>(this,
+ android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, COUNTRIES));
+ getListView().setTextFilterEnabled(true);
+}
+</pre>
+ <p>Notice that we don't need to load a layout (at least, not in this case, because we're using
+ the whole screen for our list). Instead, we just call <code>setListAdapter()</code> (which automatically
+ adds a ListView to the ListActivity), and provide it with an ArrayAdapter that binds a
+ <code>simple_list_item_1</code> layout item to each entry in the <code>COUNTRIES</code>
+ array (added next). The next line of code adds a text filter to the ListView, so that when the user
+ begins typing, the list will filter the entire view to display only the items that match the entry.</p>
+ </li>
+ <li>Following the <code>onCreate()</code> method, add the String array:
+<pre>
+ static final String[] COUNTRIES = new String[] {
+ "Afghanistan", "Albania", "Algeria", "American Samoa", "Andorra",
+ "Angola", "Anguilla", "Antarctica", "Antigua and Barbuda", "Argentina",
+ "Armenia", "Aruba", "Australia", "Austria", "Azerbaijan",
