Reference for good Android UI design patterns

Question

I would like to get some links for getting started with design patterns.My requirement is , (at Initial stage) How to go about developing a particular pattern , say customized ListView which can be shared across applications .

e.g. Applications will call something like drawCustomizedListView(params...) and my code will draw the listview according to the parameters supplied. This is particularly useful when across the applications I have to draw customized views.

My intention is, I should not repeat the same code everywhere for doing similar task.

Any references for the above requirement ?

Create a package with a name such as com.yourcompany.android.ui.common and create all of your common classes in there. Build it as a .jar file and use it as an external reference in your android projects.
