This is the first tutorial in a series of three on how to make a cool looking list in an android application. My name is Anders Ericson and I have been working with user interface (UI), for example the one in the Timescape™ application that you can find in the Xperia™ X10 mini and Xperia X10™ mini pro. Since the UI is one of the first things users will notice when they try an application the first time I wanted to create a tutorial that allow any android developer to create their own custom list view, similar to the one in Timescape™, with 3D feel and dynamics.

In this first part of the tutorial we will create a basic list and in the two following parts more and more functionality and features will be added. I will also show you how you can use the basic structure of the list and change it into whatever works best for your app. Below is a link to the source code of part 1, prepared for you to set up your own project in e.g. Eclipse. Don’t forget to download the Sony Ericsson Tutorials application from Android Market where you can try the sample apps from each step of the tutorial. I look forward to see your comments and questions.
