Question

In my ListActivity I’m trying to add a Header with single text.

I tried with the Layout and add with addHeaderView – success

But it requires Inflater and have to create a layout-xml

I cast the TextView to View Object

View v=(View)myTextView;

Then pass it to addHeaderView

myListView.addHeaderView(v);

I failed.
Is that possible to cast the textview ?

It shows only runtime error

Answer 1

Just pass the textView directly, no need to cast.

TextView tv = new TextView( this );
tv.setText( "Header" );
listView.addHeaderView( tv );

You can create a textView runtime and pass it to the headerView, but you cannot use an existing textView.
