Question

I am having an issue creating a ListView with my data. The code to produce it is:

protected void onPostExecute(DtoProjectListItem[] result) {
    mProgressDialog.dismiss();

    // DtoProjectListItem[] Adapter for ListView
    ArrayAdapter<DtoProjectListItem> projects_adapter = new ArrayAdapter<DtoProjectListItem>(
            ProjectListActivity.this,
            R.layout.activity_project_list_item, 
            R.id.tvProjectName, 
            result
    );

    ListView lvProjects = (ListView) findViewById(R.layout.activity_project_list);
    lvProjects.setAdapter(projects_adapter);

}

The error I get is:

Line 173 is:

lvProjects.setAdapter(projects_adapter);

Can somebody help me figure this out?

Thanks! 🙂

Answer 1

the problem is in this line

ListView lvProjects = (ListView) findViewById(R.layout.activity_project_list);

it should be like this

ListView lvProjects = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.your_list_id);
