Here's a complete sample code Lazy load of images in ListView. You can reuse it.

If you have new items in the list you just call adapter.notifyDatasetChanged() and ListView will redisplay all items including the new ones.

The getView() method in adapter inflates item.xml and displays real data in it. You need to start with some basic ListView tutorial, such as the one at Android Series: Custom ListView items and adapters.

Actually i want to set Image and a text whenever i am having a new item in ListView at Run-Time (i.e. total no. of items are not fixed) – Paresh Mayani Jul 22 '10 at 10:49
That's OK. Adapter can do it. If you have new items in the list you just call adapter.notifyDatasetChanged() and ListView will redisplay all items including the new ones. – Fedor Jul 22 '10 at 11:01

Adapter does it all. getView() method in adapter inflates item.xml and displays real data in it. You need to start with some basic ListView tutorial, this one for example http://www.softwarepassion.com/android-series-custom-listview-items-and-adapters/. – Fedor Jul 22 '10 at 11:26

A ListView item can have it's own custom layout. When you create your adapter for the ListView you can pass in the layout id to the Adapter constructor. See SimpleAdapter and ArrayAdapter.

=> You will have to extend an Adapter and implement getView() to property set the image+text.
