Question

I have this bit of code:

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String> (this, R.layout.actiemenu, array));
    ListView lv = getListView();
    lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);

final String[] array = new String[] {
    "Ding", "AnderDing", "Nogeending", "laatseding"
};

the array in R.layout.actiemenu, array should be the Array created after that, at final String[] etc.

However, my Eclipse is giving me an error.
Does anyone know why it isn’t working?

Answer 1

You need to declare it before using it, so just swap the two statements:

final String[] array = new String[] {
    "Ding", "AnderDing", "Nogeending", "laatseding"
};

setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String> (this, R.layout.actiemenu, array));
    ListView lv = getListView();
    lv.setTextFilterEnabled(true);
