    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >
    <ListView
        android:id="@+id/listView1"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" >
    </ListView>
</LinearLayout>

Step 3:- MainActivity.java
package com.arpit.deleterowlistview;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;
import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.AlertDialog;
import android.content.DialogInterface;
import android.content.DialogInterface.OnClickListener;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.AdapterView;
import android.widget.AdapterView.OnItemLongClickListener;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    ListView lv;
    ArrayAdapter<String> adapter;
    List<String> arr;
    String[] language = { "C", "Java", "C++", "C-sharp", ".Net", "SQL",
            "Android", "PhoneGap", "Ios", "windows", "PHP", "Phyton", "Perl" };
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
        arr = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(language));
        adapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.list_row, arr);
        lv.setAdapter(adapter);
       
        lv.setOnItemLongClickListener(new OnItemLongClickListener() {
            // setting onItemLongClickListener and passing the position to the function
                      @Override
            public boolean onItemLongClick(AdapterView<?> arg0, View arg1,
                    int position, long arg3) {
                removeItemFromList(position);  
               
                return true;
            }
        });
    }
// method to remove list item
    protected void removeItemFromList(int position) {
        final int deletePosition = position;
       
        AlertDialog.Builder alert = new AlertDialog.Builder(
                MainActivity.this);
   
        alert.setTitle("Delete");
        alert.setMessage("Do you want delete this item?");
        alert.setPositiveButton("YES", new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                // TOD O Auto-generated method stub
                   
                    // main code on after clicking yes
                    arr.remove(deletePosition);
                    adapter.notifyDataSetChanged();
                    adapter.notifyDataSetInvalidated();
     
            }
        });
        alert.setNegativeButton("CANCEL", new OnClickListener() {
            @Override
            public void onClick(DialogInterface dialog, int which) {
                // TODO Auto-generated method stub
                dialog.dismiss();
            }
        });
     
        alert.show();
     
    }
}
