Displaying unknown amount of data to screen

I have a sqlite database which contains multiple messages.

Each message has a

I want to display them to the screen in a scrollable list. Each list item can be clicked on which will then start another activity to edit the message.

I don't want direct code on how to do it, I'd prefer suggestions on how to do it so I can learn myself. If I need to give any extra info please ask.

A general note about Adapters is that they are a mean to transfer your data to appropriate View so you can populate your ListView, GridView, ... with the customized data. But this need a whole tutorial. You can also look to see how to work with different type of views which allow to be populated with Adapters.
