Hi, all.  I'm a longtime developer but new to Android.  I want to
learn how to instantiate visual components in code rather than XML, so
that I better understand the API, and can build UI's dynamically.

I want to do this with a ListView.  I understand that the ListView's
underlying data is provided by an implementation of ListAdapter.
However, when I research the implementations of ListAdapter, I don't
see anything that seems to be helpful.  ArrayAdapter seems to be the
closest to what I want, but all its constructors require a
textViewResourceId, defined as "the resource ID for a layout file
containing a TextView to use when instantiating views".  But I'm
building everything in code, even the top level View passed to
setContentView().

I was under the impression that anything created with xml
configuration files could also be created using the API.  How can I do
this?

Also, do I need to define id's for the objects provided by the
adapter, or is this not necessary because I can refer to them as Java
objects in my code?

Thanks for any help.

- Keith
