Question

1- I want to use ListFragment.

2 – My class extends from Activity not a ListActivity (because I want to have a TextView at the top of ListView). as a result this is the main layout:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical" >

    <TextView
            android:id="@+id/txt"
            android:layout_width="fill_parent"
            android:layout_height="40sp" />

    <ListView
        xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
        android:id="@+id/listView"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

</LinearLayout>

And this my code:

public class List1 extends SherlockListFragment {

    private ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();

    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        System.out.println("onCreate............");

        for(int i=0; i<30; i++)
            list.add("item " + i);
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        System.out.println("onCreateView.................");

        View view = inflater.inflate(R.layout.main_list1, container, false);

        TextView label = (TextView) view.findViewById(R.id.txt);
        label.setText("Hello");

        ListView lv = (ListView) view.findViewById(R.id.listView);
          lv.setAdapter(new MultiAdapter(view.getContext()));

        return view;
    }

    @Override 
    public void onActivityCreated(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onActivityCreated(savedInstanceState);
        System.out.println("onActivityCreated..........");


    }

    private class MultiAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {

        public MultiAdapter(Context context) {
            super(context, R.layout.list1, list);
        }

        @Override
        // Called when updating the ListView
        public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

            View row;

            if (convertView == null)  {
                LayoutInflater inflater = getActivity().getLayoutInflater();
                row = inflater.inflate(R.layout.list1, parent, false);
            } else
                row = convertView;

            TextView txt = (TextView) row.findViewById(R.id.label);
            txt.setText(list.get(position));    

            return row;
        }
    }

The application crashed when I go to this Fragment using Tab. This is the exception that I got in log:

Answer 1

Your fragment layout must have a ListView with the id: android.R.id.list, otherwise android will not know which ListView to use.

Like this:

<ListView
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

Notice the android:id="@android:id/list".
