If all those are correct, then you may be loading the wrong layout, which would make your recommendationList variable null after the findViewById() call. Also, I recommend all resources (layouts, etc.) be named in all lowercase, since on some platforms you can have a Recommendation.xml and a recommendation.xml, but Android ignores case in the R.java generation, which may cause confusion. -- Mark Murphy (a Commons Guy) http://commonsware.com _The Busy Coder's Guide to Android Development_ Version 1.9 Available! --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
