How to convert ArrayList to ListView? [duplicate]

Question

I'm programming an Android application and one feauture is a ListView generated and populated by a MySQL Database.

This is the outputted ArrayList:

DatabaseHandler db = new DatabaseHandler(this); 
List<Suspect> list = db.getAllContacts();

Do I use a cursor to input it in my ListView? Any code would be appreciated..

You can use an ArrayAdapter. See : stackoverflow.com/a/5070922/2198638 — Brtle

I recommend you to use CursorAdapter in case you don't need any data manipulations after the query.
If you want to use List so try ArrayAdapter.

If you need to modify the data after it is captured from the database and have the view updated I'd suggest you create an arrayList of , and then you can use a custom Array Adapter like shown here. If you then change the underlying data, you can use adapter.notifyDataSetChanged()
