I don't know if you can read French but there is a very good post on this French blog: http://android.cyrilmottier.com/?p=232 It explain how to build a custom adapter (BaseAdapter in fact) to manage 2 different types of cells on a list view. I hope the source source code will be enough for you.
The ArrayAdapter you are using is just a very simple way to display text cells on a listview. To display your 4 different types of items, you will need to create 4 layout (1 for each cell type) and then inflate them in the base adapter (as explained in the blog).
