Help required to create a ListView

Hello,
I am struggling for creating a list view which should show one icon and a text in each row. The examples given in developer.android.com site for ListView is very simple and has only String to list in the ListView.

I am not sure how to define the layout for my requirement and how to build the Adapter class to list the icon and text at the same time.

Please help me to understand the ListView because the Book I have "Professional Android 2 Application Development" is really a useless book. Also the above site is also not very helpful.

Thanks in advance.
Cheers

 

thanks

 

I am trying to display a text and an icon in a ListView. Below is my code. When I run, I am not getting anything displayed in simulator. Can somebody please loot at the code below and tell me what is wrong?

I tried to make this code as suggested above.
------------------------------------------------------
listview.xml:
------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ListView android:id="@android:id/list"
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView"
androidadding="3dip"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<ImageView
android:id="@+id/imageView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:gravity="right"/>
</ListView>

public class FileActivity extends ListActivity {

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
//setContentView(R.layout.listview);
FileAdapter adapter = new FileAdapter(this);
adapter.addFile(new FileView(this, null, "One", R.drawable.folder));
adapter.addFile(new FileView(this, null, "Two", R.drawable.file));
setListAdapter(adapter);
}
}
