10Three list activities are provided which illustrate this:
11<ul>
12  <li><a href="src/com/example/android/xmladapters/ContactsListActivity.html"><strong>
13  ContactsListActivity</strong></a> uses the device's Contacts provider as its input source.
14  Contacts with a phone number are displayed, their photo being retrieved by a dedicated
15  <a href="src/com/example/android/xmladapters/ContactPhotoBinder.html"><code>ContactPhotoBinder
16  </code></a>.</li>

18  <li><a href="src/com/example/android/xmladapters/PhotosListActivity.html"><strong>
19  PhotosListActivity</strong></a> retrieves an RSS photo feed and displays the images and their
20  titles. The images are downloaded from the URL found in the feed using the
21  <a href="src/com/example/android/xmladapters/ImageDownloader.html"><code>ImageDownloader</code>
22  </a> helper class.</li>
23
24  <li><a href="src/com/example/android/xmladapters/RssReaderActivity.html"><strong>
25  RssReaderActivity</strong></a> also displays items extracted from an RSS feed. An additional
26  <a href="src/com/example/android/xmladapters/UrlIntentListener.html"><code>UrlIntentListener
