Hi Sascha,
I'm not an expert yet at this, but I did look into your problem. Perhaps you
are forgetting to use the ListActivity's own ListView? Code below should
work.
package com.android.hello;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
public class HelloAndroid extends ListActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
String[] someStringArrayThatShouldWork = {"Test1", "Test2", "Test3"};
ArrayAdapter<String> aAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, someStringArrayThatShouldWork);
getListView().setAdapter(aAdapter);
}
}
Hope this helps,
David
