Answer 1

A ListView item can have it's own custom layout. When you create your adapter for the ListView you can pass in the layout id to the Adapter constructor. See SimpleAdapter and ArrayAdapter.

If you want to show some more details like image and text or two textview then You will have to extend an Adapter and implement getView() to property set the image+text.

Check out Custom ListView

And if you want to categorize the ListView in sections then you should go for the Section ListView in Android also check Section Header in ListView
