[android-beginners] Creating a listview in for an android home screen widgets

[Rodney Lendore]

Hi,

I was trying to create a scrolling list view for an android home screen
widget with the following layout

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- res/layout/bday_widget.xml -->
<!-- The initial layout of the widget as it would appear on the home screen
-->
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:layout_width="200dp"
    android:layout_height="280dp"
    android:paddingLeft="8dp"
    android:paddingRight="8dp"
    android:background="@drawable/background">

         <ImageView    android:id="@+id/iet_logo"
                     android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                    android:layout_height="50px"
                    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
                    android:src="@drawable/iet_logo"
                    android:layout_alignParentTop="true" />
        <LinearLayout         xmlns:android="
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
                            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                            android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                            android:orientation="vertical"
                            android:layout_centerInParent="true">

        <TextView    android:id="@+id/ietw_title" xmlns:android="
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
                                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                                android:layout_below="@+id/iet_logo"
                                android:text="Current Local Network"/>

            <TextView    android:id="@+id/events" xmlns:android="
http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android";
                                android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                                android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                                android:layout_below="@+id/iet_logo"
                                android:layout_align
                                android:text="Current Local Network"/>
          <ListView     android:id="@id/android:list"
                       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                       android:background="#FFFFFF"
                       android:layout_weight="1"
                       android:drawSelectorOnTop="false"
                       android:layout_below="@+id/ietw_title"/>

          <TextView     android:id="@id/android:empty"
                       android:layout_width="fill_parent"
                       android:layout_height="wrap_content"
                       android:background="#FF0000"
                       android:text="No data"/>
             </LinearLayout>

</RelativeLayout>

But kept on getting the following error:
Caused by: android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #36: Class
not allowed to be inflated android.widget.ListView

I understood this to mean that ListViews were not one of  the accepted views
for a RemoteView.

Is there any other way for me to implement a scrolling list view in a
Remoteview.

Many Thanks in Advance

Rodney
