BaseAdapter是listview最好的自定义适配器。

Class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter{}

它有许多函数，如getCount()， getView()等。

您可以在官方ApiDemos中查看这个示例。它展示了如何扩展BaseAdapter并将其应用到ListView。在此之后，只需查看BaseAdapter的引用，并尝试理解每个方法做什么(包括继承的方法)以及何时/如何使用它。

另外，谷歌是你的朋友:)。

一个更紧凑的自定义适配器的例子(使用列表数组作为我的数据):

class MyAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Object> {
    public ArrayAdapter(Context context, List<MyObject> objectList) {
        super(context, R.layout.my_list_item, R.id.textViewTitle, objectList.toArray());
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
        View row = super.getView(position, convertView, parent);
        TextView title = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.textViewTitle);
        ImageView icon = (ImageView) row.findViewById(R.id.imageViewAccessory);
        MyObject obj = (MyObject) getItem(position);
        icon.setImageBitmap( ... );
        title.setText(obj.name);
        return row;
    }
}

下面是如何使用它:

List<MyObject> objectList = ...
MyAdapter adapter = new MyAdapter(this.getActivity(), objectList);
listView.setAdapter(adapter);

谷歌有一个名为EfficientAdapter的示例，在我看来，它是如何实现自定义适配器的最佳简单示例。http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/view/List14.html @CommonsWare很好地解释了上面例子中使用的模式 http://commonsware.com/Android/excerpt.pdf

public class ListAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<Item> {

    private int resourceLayout;
    private Context mContext;

    public ListAdapter(Context context, int resource, List<Item> items) {
        super(context, resource, items);
        this.resourceLayout = resource;
        this.mContext = context;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

        View v = convertView;

        if (v == null) {
            LayoutInflater vi;
            vi = LayoutInflater.from(mContext);
            v = vi.inflate(resourceLayout, null);
        }

        Item p = getItem(position);

        if (p != null) {
            TextView tt1 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.id);
            TextView tt2 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.categoryId);
            TextView tt3 = (TextView) v.findViewById(R.id.description);

            if (tt1 != null) {
                tt1.setText(p.getId());
            }

            if (tt2 != null) {
                tt2.setText(p.getCategory().getId());
            }

            if (tt3 != null) {
                tt3.setText(p.getDescription());
            }
        }

        return v;
    }

}

这是我在项目中使用的一个类。你需要有一个你想要显示的项目的集合，在我的例子中是<Item>。你需要重写View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)方法。

itemlistrow定义了ListView的行。

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TableLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent">

    <TableRow android:layout_width="fill_parent"
              android:id="@+id/TableRow01"
              android:layout_height="wrap_content">

        <TextView android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
                  android:id="@+id/id"
                  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:text="id" android:textStyle="bold" 
                  android:gravity="left"
                  android:layout_weight="1" 
                  android:typeface="monospace"
                  android:height="40sp" />
    </TableRow>

    <TableRow android:layout_height="wrap_content"
              android:layout_width="fill_parent">

        <TextView android:textColor="#FFFFFF" 
                  android:id="@+id/categoryId"
                  android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                  android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:text="categoryId" 
                  android:layout_weight="1" 
                  android:height="20sp" />

        <TextView android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                  android:layout_width="fill_parent" 
                  android:layout_weight="1"
                  android:textColor="#FFFFFF"
                  android:gravity="right"
                  android:id="@+id/description"
                  android:text="description" 
                  android:height="20sp" />
    </TableRow>

</TableLayout>

在MainActivity中定义listview，

ListView yourListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.itemListView);

// get data from the table by the ListAdapter
ListAdapter customAdapter = new ListAdapter(this, R.layout.itemlistrow, List<yourItem>);

yourListView .setAdapter(customAdapter);
