How to generate a items in a listview from an array?

Question

Let's say I have a listview with the id 'stringList', and an array called 'stringListContents'. How would I populate the listview from the array with index 0 being first obviously, and the list ending at array.getLength?

If I undestand your question correcly, you could use something like this:

public class MyListActivity extends ListActivity {
    ...
    public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) {
        super.onCreate(icicle);
        ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, stringListContents);
        setListAdapter(adapter);
    }

ArrayAdapter<String> adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
                android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, stringListContents);
    stringList.setAdapter(adapter);
