Step b) Reference the ImageView and TextViews in the contact_item. Step c) Add content to the inflated contact_item. Step d) Add the contact_item to the internal LinearLayout.

Controller: MainActivity.java Task 1: Instantiate a layout inflater to inflate individual friend contacts (contact_item) LayoutInflater layoutInflater = (LayoutInflater) getSystemService (Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

Controller: MainActivity.java Task 2: Create a list of 20 Contact objects. Each Contact object should consist of a name, relationship, and a photo. ArrayList<Contact> contactList = new ArrayList<Contact>(); contactList.add(new Contact("Arthur Weasley", "father", R.drawable.male1)); .

Controller: MainActivity.java Task 3: Reference the internal LinearLayout in the main activity. This is where the list of contacts will be displayed.

Controller: MainActivity.java Task 4: Dynamically create a View for each Contact object in the ArrayList and add it to the scrolling internal LinearLayout. Step a) Inflate a contract_item layout.
