/**
 * An activity that displays a list of items by binding to a data source such as
 * an array or Cursor, and exposes event handlers when the user selects an item.
 * <p>
 * ListActivity hosts a {@link android.widget.ListView ListView} object that can
 * be bound to different data sources, typically either an array or a Cursor
 * holding query results. Binding, screen layout, and row layout are discussed
 * in the following sections.
 * <p>
 * <strong>Screen Layout</strong>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * ListActivity has a default layout that consists of a single, full-screen list
 * in the center of the screen. However, if you desire, you can customize the
 * screen layout by setting your own view layout with setContentView() in
 * onCreate(). To do this, your own view MUST contain a ListView object with the
 * id "@android:id/list" (or {@link android.R.id#list} if it's in code)
 * <p>
 * Optionally, your custom view can contain another view object of any type to
 * display when the list view is empty. This "empty list" notifier must have an
 * id "android:empty". Note that when an empty view is present, the list view
 * will be hidden when there is no data to display.
 * <p>
 * The following code demonstrates an (ugly) custom screen layout. It has a list
 * with a green background, and an alternate red "no data" message.
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
 * &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 *         android:orientation=&quot;vertical&quot;
 *         android:layout_width=&quot;match_parent&quot;
 *         android:layout_height=&quot;match_parent&quot;
 *         android:paddingLeft=&quot;8dp&quot;
 *         android:paddingRight=&quot;8dp&quot;&gt;
 *
 *     &lt;ListView android:id=&quot;@id/android:list&quot;
 *               android:layout_width=&quot;match_parent&quot;
 *               android:layout_height=&quot;match_parent&quot;
 *               android:background=&quot;#00FF00&quot;
 *               android:layout_weight=&quot;1&quot;
 *               android:drawSelectorOnTop=&quot;false&quot;/&gt;
 *
 *     &lt;TextView id=&quot;@id/android:empty&quot;
 *               android:layout_width=&quot;match_parent&quot;
 *               android:layout_height=&quot;match_parent&quot;
 *               android:background=&quot;#FF0000&quot;
 *               android:text=&quot;No data&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * <strong>Row Layout</strong>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * You can specify the layout of individual rows in the list. You do this by
 * specifying a layout resource in the ListAdapter object hosted by the activity
 * (the ListAdapter binds the ListView to the data; more on this later).
 * <p>
 * A ListAdapter constructor takes a parameter that specifies a layout resource
 * for each row. It also has two additional parameters that let you specify
 * which data field to associate with which object in the row layout resource.
 * These two parameters are typically parallel arrays.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Android provides some standard row layout resources. These are in the
 * {@link android.R.layout} class, and have names such as simple_list_item_1,
 * simple_list_item_2, and two_line_list_item. The following layout XML is the
 * source for the resource two_line_list_item, which displays two data
 * fields,one above the other, for each list row.
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * &lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot;?&gt;
 * &lt;LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
 *     android:layout_width=&quot;match_parent&quot;
 *     android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;
 *     android:orientation=&quot;vertical&quot;&gt;
 *
 *     &lt;TextView android:id=&quot;@+id/text1&quot;
 *         android:textSize=&quot;16sp&quot;
 *         android:textStyle=&quot;bold&quot;
 *         android:layout_width=&quot;match_parent&quot;
 *         android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;/&gt;
 *
 *     &lt;TextView android:id=&quot;@+id/text2&quot;
 *         android:textSize=&quot;16sp&quot;
 *         android:layout_width=&quot;match_parent&quot;
 *         android:layout_height=&quot;wrap_content&quot;/&gt;
 * &lt;/LinearLayout&gt;
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * You must identify the data bound to each TextView object in this layout. The
 * syntax for this is discussed in the next section.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Binding to Data</strong>
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * You bind the ListActivity's ListView object to data using a class that
 * implements the {@link android.widget.ListAdapter ListAdapter} interface.
 * Android provides two standard list adapters:
 * {@link android.widget.SimpleAdapter SimpleAdapter} for static data (Maps),
 * and {@link android.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter SimpleCursorAdapter} for Cursor
 * query results.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * The following code from a custom ListActivity demonstrates querying the
 * Contacts provider for all contacts, then binding the Name and Company fields
 * to a two line row layout in the activity's ListView.
 * </p>
 *
 * <pre>
 * public class MyListAdapter extends ListActivity {
 *
 *     &#064;Override
 *     protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState){
 *         super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
 *
 *         // We'll define a custom screen layout here (the one shown above), but
 *         // typically, you could just use the standard ListActivity layout.
 *         setContentView(R.layout.custom_list_activity_view);
 *
 *         // Query for all people contacts using the {@link android.provider.Contacts.People} convenience class.
 *         // Put a managed wrapper around the retrieved cursor so we don't have to worry about
 *         // requerying or closing it as the activity changes state.
 *         mCursor = this.getContentResolver().query(People.CONTENT_URI, null, null, null, null);
 *         startManagingCursor(mCursor);
 *
 *         // Now create a new list adapter bound to the cursor.
 *         // SimpleListAdapter is designed for binding to a Cursor.
 *         ListAdapter adapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(
 *                 this, // Context.
 *                 android.R.layout.two_line_list_item,  // Specify the row template to use (here, two columns bound to the two retrieved cursor
 * rows).
 *                 mCursor,                                              // Pass in the cursor to bind to.
 *                 new String[] {People.NAME, People.COMPANY},           // Array of cursor columns to bind to.
 *                 new int[] {android.R.id.text1, android.R.id.text2});  // Parallel array of which template objects to bind to those columns.
 *
 *         // Bind to our new adapter.
 *         setListAdapter(adapter);
 *     }
 * }
 * </pre>
