Answer 1

Here's a quick and dirty example of how to use an ArrayAdapter if you don't want to bother yourself with extending the mother class:

class MyClass extends Activity {
    private ArrayAdapter mAdapter = null;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        mAdapter = new ArrayAdapter(getApplicationContext(),
            android.R.layout.simple_dropdown_item_1line, android.R.id.text1);

        final ListView list = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.list);
        list.setAdapter(mAdapter);

        //Add Some Items in your list:
        for (int i = 1; i <= 10; i++) {
            mAdapter.add("Item " + i);
        }

        // And if you want selection feedback:
        list.setOnItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onItemClick(AdapterView parent, View view, int position, long id) {
                //Do whatever you want with the selected item
                Log.d(TAG, mAdapter.getItem(position) + " has been selected!");
            }
        });
    }
}
