ListView

It provides multiple optional menus which are appeared on the screen and one can select it of their own choice. The content list appears as defined in the list. ListView, TextView is the control that is defined in the two different XML files. ListView is defined in the Main_Activity.xml whereas TextView is declared in menuitem_Activity.xml file and another thing is that I have created array list in the Strings.xml that are used to fetch the data through ArrayAdapter class and bind with string.SetAdapter, OnselectedItem and setOnSelectedItem method is used to invoke the ListView Item.
