Which type of Android widget Google+ and Facebook use for their feeds?

Does anyone know which widget do these applications use for their feeds? It looks like a custom ListView and HTML blending together. I wonder how can we make something similar to that?

Solution

  • This is really interesting question. They use custom list items, and the most interesting part is TextView with links working. Here is what I have found:

    TextView textView = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.my_text_view);
textView.setMovementMethod(LinkMovementMethod.getInstance());

    Those two lines of code, will make links(<a> tags) in TextView clickable. They probably also use this method: https://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#setLinkTextColor(android.content.res.ColorStateList) - to set custom link background changes when user click the link.
