How do I put multiple items on the same line in a ListView?

Question

I have an ArrayList of items that are linked to a custom Adapter. The items are in alphabetical order. I would like my ListView to have a maximum of four items on each line of the ListView with the lines separated alphabetically.

For example:

[ Hi ] [ Hospital ] [ Hotel ] [ HotSpot ]

[ House ]

[ Impossible] [ Improbable ]

So multiple items would be on the same line of the ListView.

Is there a way to use the position variable within the custom Adapter class's getView() method to accomplish this?

Here is an example, sorry for the quality:

In the image, the backing store, such as ArrayList, would contain those names alphabetized.

Yes, in the getView( ) method one of the parameters is a position which can be used to send the relevant view back

public abstract View getView (int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent)
