//ListView and ArrayAdapter belong together.
// Create an ArrayAdapter, whose data source is a list of Strings. The
// adapter knows how to create layouts for each item in the list, using the
// simple_list_item_1.xml layout resource defined in the Android framework.
// This list item layout contains a single TextView, which the adapter will set to
// display a single word.
ArrayAdapter<String> itemsAdapter =
new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, words);
// ArrayAdapter is a 'generic' class. So we can rewrite it as ArrayAdapter<E> (or <T>)(<E> and <T> are same)
// 'E' is a placeholder which can be swapped for a specific object type.( Not for a primitive data type)
// The reason we need a context is because we are creating Views.
// 'this' is the NumbersActivity context here.
// 'simple_list_item_1.xml' file is an android predefined file.
// We can find other list xml files provided by Android framework by looking at 'R.layout' class
// Find the ListView object in the view hierarchy of the Activity.
// There should be a ListView with the view ID called list, which is declared in the
// activity_numbers.xml layout file.
ListView listView = findViewById(R.id.list);
// Make the ListView use the ArrayAdapter we created above, so that the
// ListView will display list items for each word in the list of words.
// Do this by calling the setAdapter method on the ListView object and pass in
// 1 argument, which is the ArrayAdapter with the variable name itemsAdapter.
listView.setAdapter(itemsAdapter);
// setAdapter needs ListAdapter as an input parameter.
// ListAdapter is an Interface, BaseAdapter is an Abstract class and lastly ArrayAdapter is a Concrete class.
// ListAdapter -> BaseAdapter -> ArrayAdapter.
// ArrayAdapter is also used with GridList and Spinner
