Android Studio ListView with Different 2 Layouts: A Step-by-Step Guide

In Android application development, creating a complex user interface (UI) can be challenging, especially when dealing with multiple layouts and views. In this article, we will explore how to create a ListView in Android Studio using different two layouts, providing a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this.

Before we dive into the code, let's understand what nesting of layouts means in Android. By the term 'nested,' we mean one layout inside another layout. This allows us to create complex UIs with multiple views and layouts. In this example, we will create a registration form with multiple fields using nested linear layouts.

Step 1: Create a New Project

To begin, create a new project in Android Studio by selecting 'File' > 'New' > 'New Project.' Name your project 'NestingOfLayouts' and choose the default options for the rest of the settings.

Step 2: Open res -> layout -> activity_main.xml

Open the res -> layout -> activity_main.xml file, which is where we will create our UI. We will use a combination of linear layouts to achieve this.

Step 3: Create Nested Linear Layouts

In this step, we will set up two linear layouts - one with vertical orientation for the parent and another with horizontal orientation for the child. This will allow us to create multiple fields in our registration form.

Here's how you can do it:

```xml

android:layout_width='match_parent'

android:layout_height='match_parent'

android:orientation='vertical'>

android:id='@+id/linear_layout'

android:layout_width='match_parent'

android:layout_height='wrap_content'

android:orientation='horizontal'>

```

In this code, we have a parent linear layout with vertical orientation and a child linear layout with horizontal orientation. We can add multiple fields to the child linear layout using various views such as EditText, Button, etc.

Step 4: Add Fields to Child Linear Layout

Now that we have set up our nested linear layouts, it's time to add fields to the child linear layout. You can add fields such as username, password, email, phone number, etc. Here's an example of how you can do it:

```xml

android:layout_width='match_parent'

android:layout_height='match_parent'

android:orientation='vertical'>

android:id='@+id/linear_layout'

android:layout_width='match_parent'

android:layout_height='wrap_content'

android:orientation='horizontal'>

android:id='@+id/edit_text_username'

android:layout_width='0dp'

android:layout_height='wrap_content'

android:layout_weight='1'

android:hint='Username' />

android:id='@+id/button_login'

android:layout_width='wrap_content'

android:layout_height='wrap_content'

android:text='Login' />

```

In this example, we have added two fields - a username EditText and a login Button. You can add more fields as needed.

Step 5: Run the App

Once you have set up your UI, run the app on an emulator or a physical device to see the output.

In this article, we have learned how to create a ListView in Android Studio using different two layouts. We created a registration form with multiple fields using nested linear layouts and provided a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this. By following these steps, you can create complex UIs with multiple views and layouts in your Android applications.
