In this post I will describe how to populate ListView with database.
Have a look at my previous post

To learn Basic of Android Animation go to Android Animation Basics
If you want to show Items in ListView with Header you should use ExpandableListView . To Learn how to use ExpandableListView read my post ExpandableListView In Android
In this example I have created a listView and populated it with DataBAse.
Each of the ListView item contain two views
TextView SMS Sender : to show SMS Sender Number
TextView SMSBody : to show the SMS Body/content
Here the ListView shows the all the SMSes with Sender Number and SMSBody.
Add the following permission in your manifest file to read the SMS..
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_SMS"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SMS"/>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:background="#D1FFFF"
android:orientation="vertical">
<ListView
android:id="@+id/listViewSMS"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:dividerHeight="0.1dp"
android:divider="#0000CC"
