Android: id list view

Question

I have a list view declared in my xml:

Answer 1

In xml layout use,

 <ListView
   android:id="@+id/list"
   android:layout_width="wrap_content"
   android:layout_height="wrap_content"

 />

In Java Code:

 ListView listview=(ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);// it takes id of listview from xml

if you need to use android id for listview then replace your code as

<ListView
 android:id="@+android:id/list"
 android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" >

It may help you..

Answer 2

Your ListView object id should be specified either as android:id="@android:id/list"

ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(android.R.id.list);

or it should have some other id like android:id="@+id/sampleList"

ListView lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.sampleList);

Check this : ListActivity

and list

Hope this would help.

Answer 3

Try this: android:id="@+id/list" Then clean project and rebuild. In java, just call findViewById like this:

   ListView lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.list);
