Each list item is a single custom View object, not a ViewGroup or layout. Essentially, all the content is drawn directly onto the Canvas in onDraw() rather than relying on child ImageView and TextView elements. Images can be drawn easily enough by calling Drawable.draw() or Canvas.drawBitmap() and text is typically drawing using a Layout.

Additionally, this means all touch events are handled directly inside onTouchEvent() to handle taps on the lower icons and/or the avatar image, so there are no click listeners.

Edit: Here's a quick 30 second example that should be enough to get you started: https://gist.github.com/devunwired/8704007
