Preference item-like layout

In main activity of my application I need a control which should look like ListPreference in PreferencesActivity. I mean, 2 lines: title and current value and down arrow icon on the right.

I've tried to use TwoLineListItem for this:

<TwoLineListItem android:id="@+id/twoLineListItem1"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:onClick="onButtonClick" android:focusable="true"
    android:background="@android:drawable/list_selector_background">
    <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceLarge"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@android:id/text1"
        android:text="Upload into:" />
    <TextView android:layout_below="@android:id/text1"
        android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceSmall"
        android:layout_alignLeft="@android:id/text1" android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@android:id/text2" android:text="&lt;not set&gt;"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" />
    <!-- <ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_alignParentRight="true" 
        android:id="@android:id/selectedIcon" 
        android:src="???"> </ImageView> -->

</TwoLineListItem>

It all works except of arrow icon: I can't find proper resource which system uses for it.

How this could be solved?

Or maybe I should use another control instead of TwoLineListItem?

Or maybe even try to implement my activity as PreferencesActivity (thought I need some EditText controls in my activity)?

For the reference, what I need is on the left picture: http://androinica-serve.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/evernote_comp2.png

wow, this question is so old and i can't believe no one answered it correctly lol. the layout you were looking for is in the sdk tree under:

[android-sdk-root]/platforms/[your-platform]/data/res/layout/preference.xml

you'll find this and any other sdk defined layouts in this folder. fish around in the res folder and see what's available. sorry it's a year late, but there ya go.

You might try using @android:drawable/btn_dropdown to get the system resource and setting that as the background.

Use this layout and modify according to your need...

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
                 android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                android:layout_height="fill_parent"
                android:background="#FFFFFF">

    <LinearLayout android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true">

    <TextView android:layout_width="fill_parent"
         android:text="ggggggggg"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:id="@android:id/text1"

       />
    <TextView android:layout_below="@android:id/text1"
        android:text="ssssssssssss"
         android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:id="@android:id/text2" 
        android:layout_width="wrap_content" />
     </LinearLayout>

     <ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content" 
               android:layout_alignParentRight="true" 
              android:id="@android:id/selectedIcon"
            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
            android:src="@drawable/icon"
             /> 

</RelativeLayout>
