I don't understand why the emulator is looking for android: R.id.list
here is my code in Activity that will use the listView
package com.example.databasetest;
import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.database.Cursor;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v4.widget.SimpleCursorAdapter;
import android.widget.ListView;
public class ViewData extends ListActivity {
private DBHandler dbHelper;
private SimpleCursorAdapter dataAdapter;
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.view_data);
displayListView();
}
private void displayListView() {
Cursor cursor = dbHelper.getData();
String[] columns = new String[] {
DBHandler.COL_NAME,
DBHandler.COL_ADDRESS,
DBHandler.COL_PHONE,
DBHandler.COL_EMAIL
};
int[] to = new int[] {
R.id.name,
R.id.address,
R.id.phone,
R.id.email,
};
dataAdapter = new SimpleCursorAdapter(this, R.layout.country_info,
cursor,
columns,
to,
0);
ListView listView = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView1);
// Assign adapter to ListView
listView.setAdapter(dataAdapter);
}
}
and here are the two XML files that I am going to use for the listView view_data.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:orientation="vertical" >
<TextView
android:id="@+id/tv"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
<ListView
android:id="@+id/listView1"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
and finally country_info.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"

<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
android:text="Name: "
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/textView2"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/textView1"
android:layout_below="@+id/textView1"
android:text="Address: "
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<TextView

android:text="Email: "
android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceMedium" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/name"

android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignBaseline="@+id/textView4"

android:layout_alignLeft="@+id/continent"
android:text="Test" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/phone"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="@+id/textView3"
android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/textView3"
android:text="Test" />
<TextView
android:id="@+id/email"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_above="@+id/textView2"

android:text="Test" />
</RelativeLayout>
