ListView with header similar to iPhone apps

[Mark Spritzler]

So on iPhone UITableView, it is very easy to add a header, it is already there. And it automatically, will have a back button when you nest into the table, as well as a title, and easy as setting one property to true to get the "Add New" button on the right at the top.

I want that similar UI in Android, and I have gotten my List and ListActivity all working with displaying the data in the table, but I had to just add a search text on the top, then my own two buttons below that, then the list to get something similar, but I can't get the back button.

I think that even in Android this should be simple, but I have found in many places that it is never simple and you have to jump through hoops to get it to work.

Any suggestions, recommendations. I mean maybe I should look at a totally different UI approach because Android is different.

Thanks for you help

Thanks for the link. Actually that is the video I used to get as far as I got. Shame Google didn't think the apis a little better and finished it completely.
