I am confused, however, how I switch from a regular Activity to a ListActivity so I get the convenience methods like setListAdapter()?

Change

"MyActivity extends Activity"

to

"MyActivity extends ListActivity"

 

Should I be starting with a ListView, and then drawing the other view on top once the app starts by inflating the layout and using it?

What "other view"? 

 

If not, how do I create a ListActivity object inside my app, and where should I create that?

You don't. You extend ListActivity just like a regular activity. Android does the rest for you, assuming you've declared the class in your manifest of course.

 

If you have a sample application or tutorial that shows how to do this, I would appreciate it.

I'm sure there's one here if you look hard enough:
