             adb.setNegativeButton("Cancel", null);
             adb.setPositiveButton("Ok", new AlertDialog.OnClickListener() {
                 public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {            

                     listSongs.removeViewAt(position);//you can delete your item here

                     adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

                 }});
             adb.show();

you should not remove item from ListView, you should remove element from its list, and refresh ListView — mangusta, Mar 04 '14 at 10:14
Just remove the item from list then adapter.notifydatasetChanged(). getView() is really a mess — Jackie, Mar 04 '14 at 10:22

To delete any element of list view you should delete element of array list in adapter. for that you can create a methode removeItem(position) and remove item from array of adapter and then call notifyDatasetChanged().

I hope it will help for you.

ImageAdapter mImageAdapter;
//...
int pos;
// set pos in range 0 to mImageAdapter.getCount()-1
mImageAdapter.itemList.remove(pos);
mImageAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
