ListView's position in our Android project is witnessed, and we believe that almost every App has its own presence.
ListView mainly loads data in the form of a list, under specific circumstances, it needs to achieve some special functions: refreshing data, loading data, achieving animation effects, and so on.
As our common control, what should we pay attention to?
** Set a divider for every 1Item of ListView

Method 1: It is also the easiest way to set ListView's
divider attribute
For example: android:divider="@color/black"
Method 2: Set android:divider="@null" to indicate no separators, and then add them to the Item layout yourself.


 <ListView>
    android:id="@+id/test_lv"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:divider="#d1d1d1"<!-- Set Separator Line Color -->
    android:dividerHeight="1px"<!-- Set divider height -->
    >
 </ListView>

** By default, ListView's item has a somewhat clicking effect. How can I change this effect?
Set the android:listSelector property of ListViewr, such as setting Transparent Cancel effect android:listSelector="@android:color/transparent"
You can also set the effect you want by adding the corresponding color resource or drawble resource.
** When there is a lot of data, ListView will display a default scrollbar when scrolling. To cancel this scrollbar, you can set the android:scrollbars property
For example: android:scrollbars="none"
** ListView performance optimization, ViewHolder must be used to fully utilize recycle mechanism of ListView
** Dynamic data changes in ListView, add or delete data operations, the effect is obvious.


// Realization ListView Data Add Delete 
public class MainActivity extends Activity implements View.OnClickListener {
  private ListView test_lv;
  private List<TestBean> dataList;

      dataList.add(bean);
    }
  }

  private void initViews() {
    this.test_lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.test_lv);

  @Override
  public void onClick(View v) {
    switch (v.getId()) {
      case R.id.add_btn:
        // Increase by default at 1 Locations 
        TestBean bean = new TestBean();

        dataList.remove(0);
        break;
    }
    adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();// Refresh ListView data 
  }
}
//ListView Corresponding Adapter
public class TestAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
  private Context mContext;
  private List<TestBean> listDatas;

  public TestAdapter(Context mContext, List<TestBean> listDatas) {

** Similar to chat interface, ListView has multiple item style effects


// Realization ListView Medium variety item style 
public class TypeActivity extends Activity {
  private ListView type_lv;

  }

      TestBean bean = new TestBean();
      bean.setTitle(" Title _" + i);
      bean.setContent(" This is the content _" + i);
      bean.setType(i % 2 == 0 ? 1 : 2);
      dataList.add(bean);
    }
  }

  private void initViews() {
    this.type_lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.type_lv);
    adapter = new TypeAdapter(this, dataList);
    type_lv.setAdapter(adapter);

  }
}
// Corresponding Adapter
public class TypeAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

  }

  @Override
  public int getCount() {

  }

  }

    return position;
  }

  @Override

    // Set different layouts and data presentations according to style 
    int type = getItemViewType(position);
    if (convertView == null) {

      if (type == 1) {

// Key Methods getViewTypeCount : Get how many styles 
  @Override
