Answer 1

You can get simple Code here, which shows an image and some text in each row of the list:

but if the number of rows is high, and if the image in each row is to be fetched from a server then you better use this:

Answer 2

Just Use A HashMap<String,String> that will contain your row details (image, two text). Refer to this link that will help you to achieve what you want.
