I am having a similar issue.
I tried you suggestion but my list just shows up empty.
I think my problem might be in my XML.
Here is my code
simplelist.java
=======================================================
package zach.test.simplelist;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
public class SimpleList extends ListActivity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
String[] StringArray = { "Hello, World!", "Foo Bar", "Blah Blah
Blah" };
ArrayAdapter<String> StringAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,
R.layout.row, StringArray);
// setListAdapter(StringAdapter); // crashes program on startup
getListView().setAdapter(StringAdapter); // program starts fine,
but list shows empty
setContentView(R.layout.main);
}
}
main.xml
===========================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content">
<ListView android:id="@+id/android:list"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<TextView android:id="@+id/android:empty"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="No Items!" />
</LinearLayout>
row.xml
=====================================
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemes.android.com/apk/res/android";
android:id="@+id/text1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
