Question

I had this working at one point, so I think I’m just referencing something wrong. _regionListView seems to be returning OK. I thought the array inside the ArrayList was the problem as it contained extra null indexes but I think I’m not connecting to the ListView and TextView correctly.

Any help would be appreciated.

Main.java

String _region = inRegion;
    ParserRegion _parserRegion = new ParserRegion();
    InputStream _inputStream = getResources().openRawResource(R.raw.regions);

    // Parse the Input Stream
    _parserRegion.Parse(_inputStream, _region);

    // Get Regions
    List<PropertiesRegion> _regionList = _parserRegion.GetList();

    // Create the ArrayAdapter
    ArrayAdapterRegion _arrayAdapter = new ArrayAdapterRegion(getApplicationContext(), R.layout.search_list, _regionList);

    // Get reference to ListView holder
    ListView _regionListView = (ListView) this.findViewById(R.id.regionListView);

    // Set the ListView adapter
    _regionListView.setAdapter(_arrayAdapter);

Answer 1

Remove LinearLayout from search_list.xml and use only textview and put this in textview itself

xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

There is no need of LinearLayou there and also you can set android:layout_height=”wrap_content” .Then it will work. 🙂
