Question

I have this code

public class MyFragment extends SherlockFragment {

    public static Fragment newInstance(Context context) {
        MyFragment f = new MyFragment();

        return f;
    }

    @Override
    public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState){
        View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.fragment_pager_list, container,false);
        View tv = v.findViewById(R.id.text);
        ((TextView)tv).setText("Layout One" );
        return v;
    }
}

I have created an adapter the contains the list of contacts and i want to put that list of contact in fragment_pager_list.
I am using this code

mAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(getActivity(),
                R.layout.fragment_pager_list, null,
                new String[] {ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME},
                new int[] { R.id.text}, 0);

        setListAdapter(mAdapter);

        // Start out with a progress indicator.
        setListShown(true);

How to show “Contacts” at top and my two contacts below it.

fragment_pager_list.xml

Answer 1

You should be extending SherlockListFragment. Then you can call setListAdapter on it (documentation).

This has worked for me in the past:

public View onCreateView(LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    View v = inflater.inflate(R.layout.some_list_layout, container, false);

    setListAdapter(/* Your adapter, should extend BaseAdapter or similar */);

    return v;
}

Edit: Also, I believe your ListView must have ID android:id="@android:id/list". If it doesn’t work with that ID, try the solution found here.
