 Hello currently I'm making my custom ListAdapter and I add my Text
 Views the following way:
 
 LinearLayout.LayoutParams radioParams = new LinearLayout.LayoutParams
 (320,  LayoutParams.FILL_PARENT);
 
 radioParams.setMargins(1, 1, 1, 1);
 TextView stationName = new TextView( context );
 stationName.setText( radioInfo.getStationName() );
 stationName.setTextSize(14f);
 stationName.setTextColor(Color.WHITE);
 addView( stationName, radioParams);
 
 
 I already have a layout that I want to use for each element
 essentially would be nice if I could just call something like:
 
 setContentView(R.layout.station_list_element);
 
 or
 
 LinearLayout radioParams = new LinearLayout(context,
 R.layout.station_list_element );
 radioParams.textNowPlaying= Chemical Brothers
 
 
 So that for sure that won't work but how can I create a LinearLayout
 and import my settings which are on my xml? Then how could I access
 the individual fields to update the text on them?

getLayoutInflater().inflate() will inflate an XML layout, returning to
you the root View of the layout. From there, calling findViewById() on
the root View of the layout will give you access to Views within that
layout.

You can see examples of all of this, in the context of custom
ListAdapters, in my Fancy ListViews blog series over on AndroidGuys:

http://androidguys.com/?s=fancy+listviews

Most of the earlier ones in the series are for the older M5 SDK, but the
concepts still hold. Also, forgive the formatting -- AndroidGuys updated
their WordPress theme and my older posts are a bit malformed as a result.

Thanks Mark!

I'm very happy with your reply! It works!

The first Tutorial did the trick but a couple things were deprecated.

Here is my final getView Function:

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup
parent) {
ElementData radioInfo = radioList.get(position);
View inflatedElementView = View.inflate(context,
R.layout.radio_stream_element_list_bk, null);

//Set Radio Element Information
TextView nowPlaying=(TextView)inflatedElementView.findViewById
(R.id.textNowPlaying);
nowPlaying.setText(radioInfo.getStationName());

TextView genreType =(TextView)inflatedElementView.findViewById
(R.id.textNowPlaying2);
genreType.setText(radioInfo.getGenre());

return inflatedElementView;
}
