Answer 1

To remove the desired item from the list using the remove() method of your ArrayAdapter.

A possible way to do that would be:

Object toRemove = arrayAdapter.getItem([POSITION]);
arrayAdapter.remove(toRemove);

Another way would be to modify the ArrayList and call notifyDataSetChanged() on the ArrayAdapter.

arrayList.remove([INDEX]);
arrayAdapter.notifyDataSetChanged();

To Add items you can do something like this : on a click of button take text from edittext and add it as an item on list

/** Reference to the button of the layout main.xml */
        Button btn = (Button) findViewById(R.id.btnAdd);

        /** Defining the ArrayAdapter to set items to ListView */
        adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, list);

        /** Defining a click event listener for the button "Add" */
        OnClickListener listener = new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(View v) {
                EditText edit = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.txtItem);
                list.add(edit.getText().toString());
                edit.setText("");
                adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
            }
        };

        /** Setting the event listener for the add button */
        btn.setOnClickListener(listener);

Read official android docs here 1 and 2 for handling click of menu items ...

Answer 2

What you want to do is set the itemClickListener(). This is done by something like this:

list.setOnItemClickListner(new OnItemClickListener(){
    onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id)
    {
      //Do stuff here.
    }
});

From that block, you just need to call your delete statement. Alternatively, you could have your class use the AdapterView.OnItemClickListener interface, and put the routine there, then changing the command to list.setOnItemClickListner(this);
