use the position of the item in your getView method.

Pseudo:

public View getView(int position, View recycledView, ViewGroup group) {
   View view;
   if(position == 1){
        view = View.inflate(context, R.layout.view1, null);
   } else {
        view = View.inflate(context, R.layout.view2, null);
   }

  // populate the view

return view;
}

Reference: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/Adapter.html#getView(int, android.view.View, android.view.ViewGroup)

You can achieve this by inflating multiple xml layout files and return them based on condition .

For example inside your getview() method of adapter

you can do like this

for condition 1 

inflate layout 1 and return view

for condition 2 

inflate layout 2 and return view.
