Solution 1:

You need to create a custom layout for your row item where you can place two textviews one below the other to show your data as you want. Then override the getView() method of your adapter and inflate this custom layout and populate it with data from an array / list.

See the getView() method in the link mentioned in giacavicchioli's answer.

As user87049 has said this will solve your problem sarah:

**DataDisplay xml**
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal" >


<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView1"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:textSize="25dp"
    android:text="TextView" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView2"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
    android:textSize="25dp"
    android:text="TextView" />

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView3"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
    android:textSize="25dp"
    android:text="TextView" />
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView4"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1"
    android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
    android:textSize="25dp"
    android:text="TextView" />
<TextView
    android:id="@+id/textView5"
    android:layout_gravity="center"
    android:layout_width="0dp"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1" 
    android:layout_marginLeft="2dp"
    android:textSize="25dp"
    android:text="TextView" />

</LinearLayout>

Solution 3:

Here is what i did. Make a xml file like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:layout_weight="1">

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:orientation="vertical"
        >

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#FF0000" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#00FF00" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#0000FF" />
    </LinearLayout>

    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#FF0000" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#00FF00" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#0000FF" />
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#FF0000" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#00FF00" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#0000FF" />
    </LinearLayout>
    <LinearLayout
        android:layout_width="100dp"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
        android:orientation="vertical">

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#FF0000" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#00FF00" />

        <TextView
            android:layout_width="match_parent"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:background="#0000FF" />
    </LinearLayout>
</LinearLayout>

This is your custom listview xml file. Now in getView method setText to this all textview as you did for your xml file.
