How can i implement a file browser, without exteniding the listactivity class? I’m trying to add an option in my app to choose a file browser to pick their own file to use instead of the default. I made a button, to move to the filebrowser list, but when i use the code setListAdapter(ArrayAdapter); It says i need to extend ListActivity. When i do this i have a problem running the app altogether. Any ideas of what i am doing wrong? How can i not have to extend the listactivity, because my app is not really only a list, it only needs to use the list. Thanks!

    You don’t have to use ListActivity. There just has to be a ListView object within the layout you use, as long as you use the right methods on it.

    Set up a ListView in the XML file you inflate, then fetch it:

    ListView myListView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.my_list);

    Then, you can set its adapter:

    myListView.setAdapter(ArrayAdapter);

    The documentation has an awesome tutorial on a moderately advanced ListView implementation.
