You definitely don't want to access the list directly from the
adapter. Instead for your design what you'd want to do is remove the
outer linear layout if you can and just have two separate XML files
with only 1 view each (text_row or icon_row). Then in your adapter
override the methods getItemViewType and getViewTypeCount. These
methods are provided for you to have two or more different types of
layouts for certain rows based.
