Both are same...
ListActivity has some methods using which you can easily find your ListView and set Adapters,Listeners on that using getListView() setListAdapter() et cetera methods.

While in Activity you have to write

Yea that is limitation.
You can not display two list using getListView() method of ListActivity

Reason :

ListView has method getListView which returns reference of list view who is having id list that is the reason we have to have give id @android:id/list in our xml while using ListActivity

So getListView will return only that single list view.

To define new list we must give new id and that new id will be in our name space and we have to use findViewById method in this case.



But we can use one list from android name space and one from our defined name space.


I hope this clears your doubt ...

Probably no, because ListActivity itself will represent one view, but as per your requirements you need two views.
