Question

I am trying to set up a list view and when i run in the emulator i am getting an error ‘Your content must have a id attribute is android.R.id.list’.

Here is my xml for the file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:orientation="vertical">
    <!-- Main ListView
         Always give id value as list(@android:id/list)
    -->
    <ListView
        android:id="@android:id/list"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"/>

</LinearLayout>

When I check in the generated java files for R.id ‘list’ is not in there. Any ideas how to fix this?

Answer 1

<ListView
    android:id="@+id/mainListView"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_weight="1" >
</ListView>

Try this out.
