Thanks guys, adding that ListView with id="@android:id/list" did the trick. I have another layout question that hopefully you guys can answer, I created a RelativeLayout in XML and want to use this layout inside another XML layout but am not sure how to call/use it. I know how to use a Layout created programmatically inside an XML layout file (<com.package.Layout ....>) but am unsure how to do it using one created as an XML layout. Anybody know how?
