Hi,

I'm completely new to the android development or mobile programming
for that matter. I do not have any gui building experience.

I did try 'HelloAndroid' example and understand the directory layout
very well.
But I'm not able to get the following to work...

I'm trying to build one application as follows,

Is there a way to show multiple coulmns like following,
Default must be a list with following layout ...

button | textview | datepicker | button
...
...


First button is a remove button, which removes that particular row.

>From the 'menu' I want to add 'Add' action which brings a pop-up with
a following layout,

edittext | datepicker
               Okbutton

When you click Okbutton, this gets added to the list as another row as
shown above.

Following is my main.xml as a first attempt to build just a view ....
------------------------
$ cat main.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/
android"
        android:id="@+id/background"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent">
        <LinearLayout
                android:orientation="horizontal"
                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="wrap_content">

                <Button android:id="@+id/button_remove_item"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:text="@string/remove" />

                <EditText android:id="@+id/edittext_add_item"
                        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_marginLeft="20dip"
                        android:layout_weight="1"/>

                <Button android:id="@+id/pickDate"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:text=""/>

                <Button android:id="@+id/button_add_item"
                        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
                        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                        android:text="@string/add" />
        </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

$ cat HelloAndroid.java
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
And there are 2 other methods to show date picker and update display
after choosing the date .

$ cat string.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string name="hello">Hello Android! I am a string resource!</
string>
    <string name="app_name">Hello, Android</string>
    <string name="add">Add</string>
    <string name="remove">Remove</string>
</resources>
--------------

I've a pickDate function which allows me to change a date but other
actions are not implemented and main thing is this still not a list
view.

Where do I start? What changes I need to achieve what I want to do?
Any help is really appreciated.

Regards,

Uttam
