Well, your source code got cut off, so it is difficult to answer. Somewhere, your Activity is calling setContentView(). Ideally, particularly for this case, setContentView() is passed a resource ID pointing to a layout resource (e.g., R.layout.main). This is the layout file that Nick demonstrated and Kostya referred to. That layout for your whole activity needs to have your Button and your ListView, wrapped in a RelativeLayout or LinearLayout. Here is an example project, albeit one with a TextView instead of a Button above the ListView: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-android/tree/master/Selection/List/ Here is a variation on that sample project, using a custom ListAdapter: http://github.com/commonsguy/cw-android/tree/master/FancyLists/Recycling/ -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com | http://github.com/commonsguy http://commonsware.com/blog | http://twitter.com/commonsguy _Android Programming Tutorials_ Version 2.9 Available! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Beginners" group.
