Hi Sascha, I'm not an expert yet at this, but I did look into your problem. Perhaps you are forgetting to use the ListActivity's own ListView? Code below should work.
package com.android.hello; import android.app.ListActivity; import android.os.Bundle; import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; public class HelloAndroid extends ListActivity { /** Called when the activity is first created. */ @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); String[] someStringArrayThatShouldWork = {"Test1", "Test2", "Test3"}; ArrayAdapter<String> aAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, someStringArrayThatShouldWork); getListView().setAdapter(aAdapter); } } Hope this helps, David On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 11:09 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] < [EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi fellows, > > first of all, please don't hit me for asking stupid question. :) I'm > quite a novice when it comes to Java (J2EE, J2ME, J2SE), but I'm a > totally n00b when it comes to android.
