Don't use ListView. Use RecyclerView instead. https://developer.android.com/training/material/lists-cards.html#RecyclerView

You need to create adapter where you point proper XML file for an item

1. First, create a custom layout XML for your list row item(Image and 3 TextViews).

2. Create a custom adapter class to populate your ArrayList<OBJECT> on custom list row XML.

Here are some good tutorials:

FYI, You can use RecyclerView instead of ListView. Android RecyclerView is more advanced version of ListView with improved performance and other benefits.

Hope this will help~
