I think I used inappropriate terminology. I am getting an exception during runtime (as soon as it starts).
my java code is: package com.google.begin1Package; import android.app.Activity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.*; public class begin1Activity extends Activity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle icicle) { super.onCreate(icicle); String ogres[]= {"Shrek", "Fiona", "ThrowBack"}; ArrayAdapter <String>arrayAdapter1= new ArrayAdapter <String>(this, R.layout.customlayout); arrayAdapter1.addObject(ogres[0]); arrayAdapter1.addObject(ogres[1]); arrayAdapter1.addObject(ogres[2]); this.setContentView(R.layout.customlayout); ListView list11= (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list1); list11.setAdapter(arrayAdapter1); } } my xml file is (customlayout.xml): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/ android" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:orientation="vertical"> <ListView android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:background="#FFFFFF" android:layout_weight="1" android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"/> </LinearLayout> the exception is: begin1Package.Landroid/widget/LinearLayout Thanks Sylvester --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
