ListView and ListActivity

I have a program for Android do I need to modify my activity to be a ListActivity to use a ListView or can开发者_Go百科 I just leave it as a regular activity?

Thanks in advance.

You should extend your activity to make it a ListActivity.

Among the reasons is the fact that you get the onListItemClick() method which is called whenever you click a item which saves you from creating a listener.

Besides, you don't lose anything, if you want to change the layout of a ListActivity you still can with setContentView() method from Activity.

The answer to your question is NO.

You do not NEED to use ListActivity.

You can easily add a ListView to a regular Activity.
