how make main activity look? (currently setcontentview(main_layout) etc..) need create class , subclass listfragment? how?

thanks help

how make main activity look?

replace **<i want listview here>** <listview> appropriate attributes. specifically, if want listview fill space not used 2 horizontal linearlayouts, give listview android:layout_height="0dp" , android:layout_weight="1". tells android allocate leftover room listview.

currently setcontentview(main_layout) etc.

that should not need change. if activity listactivity, sure give listview android:id="@android:id/list".

do need create class , subclass listfragment?

not necessarily. welcome use listfragment instead of listview if want.
