/**

 * A view that shows items in a vertically scrolling list. The items

 * <p>Displays a vertically-scrollable collection of views, where each view is positioned

 * come from the {@link ListAdapter} associated with this view.

 * immediatelybelow the previous view in the list.  For a more modern, flexible, and performant

 * approach to displaying lists, use {@link android.support.v7.widget.RecyclerView}.</p>

 *

 *

 * <p>See the <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/ui/layout/listview.html">List View</a>

 * <p>To display a list, you can include a list view in your layout XML file:</p>

 * guide.</p>

 *

 * <pre>&lt;ListView

 *      android:id="@+id/list_view"

 *      android:layout_width="match_parent"

 *      android:layout_height="match_parent" /&gt;</pre>

 *

 * <p>A list view is an <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout.html#AdapterViews">

 * adapter view</a> that does not know the details, such as type and contents, of the views it

 * contains. Instead list view requests views on demand from a {@link ListAdapter} as needed,

 * such as to display new views as the user scrolls up or down.</p>

 *

 * <p>In order to display items in the list, call {@link #setAdapter(ListAdapter adapter)}

 * to associate an adapter with the list.  For a simple example, see the discussion of filling an

 * adapter view with text in the

 * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout.html#FillingTheLayout">

 * Layouts</a> guide.</p>

 *

 * <p>To display a more custom view for each item in your dataset, implement a ListAdapter.

 * For example, extend {@link BaseAdapter} and create and configure the view for each data item in

 * {@code getView(...)}:</p>

 *

 *  <pre>private class MyAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

 *

 *      // override other abstract methods here

 *

 *      @Override

 *      public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup container) {

 *          if (convertView == null) {

 *              convertView = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.list_item, container, false);

 *          }

 *

 *          ((TextView) convertView.findViewById(android.R.id.text1))

 *                  .setText(getItem(position));

 *          return convertView;

 *      }

 *  }</pre>

 *

 * <p class="note">ListView attempts to reuse view objects in order to improve performance and

 * avoid a lag in response to user scrolls.  To take advantage of this feature, check if the

 * {@code convertView} provided to {@code getView(...)} is null before creating or inflating a new

 * view object.  See

 * <a href="{@docRoot}training/improving-layouts/smooth-scrolling.html">

 * Making ListView Scrolling Smooth</a> for more ways to ensure a smooth user experience.</p>

 *

 * <p>For a more complete example of creating a custom adapter, see the

 * <a href="{@docRoot}samples/CustomChoiceList/index.html">

 *     Custom Choice List</a> sample app.</p>

 *

 * <p>To specify an action when a user clicks or taps on a single list item, see

 * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout.html#HandlingUserSelections">

 *     Handling click events</a>.</p>

 *

 * <p>To learn how to populate a list view with a CursorAdapter, see the discussion of filling an

 * adapter view with text in the

 * <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/ui/declaring-layout.html#FillingTheLayout">

 * Layouts</a> guide.

 * See <a href="{@docRoot}guide/topics/ui/layout/listview.html">

 *     Using a Loader</a>

 * to learn how to avoid blocking the main thread when using a cursor.</p>

 *

 * <p class="note">Note, many examples use {@link android.app.ListActivity ListActivity}

 * or {@link android.app.ListFragment ListFragment}

 * to display a list view. Instead, favor the more flexible approach when writing your own app:

 * use a more generic Activity subclass or Fragment subclass and add a list view to the layout

 * or view hierarchy directly.  This approach gives you more direct control of the

 * list view and adapter.</p>
