Actually, Zach, I pasted everything you sent me and I also got your "No Items!" message. The problem is with your row.xml. Try this:
row.xml::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; android:id="@android:id/text1" android:paddingTop="2dip" android:paddingBottom="3dip" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: This is similar to Android's simple_list_item_1 layout. Then, remove the line: setContentView(R.layout.main); The content view is already being set when connecting this class to the ArrayAdapter. Resetting it to main will make it blank. Hope this helps, David On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 3:43 PM, Zachary Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I am having a similar issue. > > I tried you suggestion but my list just shows up empty. > > I think my problem might be in my XML. > > > Here is my code > > simplelist.java > ======================================================= > package zach.test.simplelist; > > import android.app.ListActivity; > import android.os.Bundle; > import android.widget.ArrayAdapter; > > public class SimpleList extends ListActivity { > /** Called when the activity is first created. */ > @Override > public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { > super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); > > String[] StringArray = { "Hello, World!", "Foo Bar", "Blah Blah > Blah" }; > ArrayAdapter<String> StringAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, > R.layout.row, StringArray); > // setListAdapter(StringAdapter); // crashes program on startup > getListView().setAdapter(StringAdapter); // program starts fine, > but list shows empty > > setContentView(R.layout.main); > } > } > > main.xml > =========================================== > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> > <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"; > android:layout_width="wrap_content" > android:layout_height="wrap_content"> > <ListView android:id="@+id/android:list" > android:layout_width="wrap_content" > android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> > <TextView android:id="@+id/android:empty" > android:layout_width="wrap_content" > android:layout_height="wrap_content" > android:text="No Items!" /> > </LinearLayout> > > row.xml > ===================================== > <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> > <TextView xmlns:android="http://schemes.android.com/apk/res/android"; > android:id="@+id/text1" > android:layout_width="wrap_content" > android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> > > > On Mon, Sep 29, 2008 at 11:12 AM, David Farler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Hi Sascha, >> I'm not an expert yet at this, but I did look into your problem.
