Answer 1

You can either use Sectioned ListView(You have to customize ListView) or Expandable ListView(inbuilt).

Sectioned ListView examples:

Expandable ListView examples:

• Steps to implement ExpandableListView in android - Check the Step - 2 in this example, same way groups[] and children[][], you can implement your 2 arraylists accordingly.

Answer 2

You can use a SimpleAdapter and bind the Name of the days to one TextView and the event name to another TextView. Your xml layout will then just be a LinearLayout, oriented horizontally, with two TextViews in it. Here's an example.
