R.layout points to layout resources. Layout resources are used whenever
Android wants to inflate a tree of Views, such as setContentView(),
manual inflation via getLayoutInflater(), etc.
R.id points to individual widgets (Views) within an inflated layout.
R.id values have no meaning outside the context of a specific layout --
in other words, R.id.fu means nothing on its own, but
myInflatedView.findViewById(R.id.fu) might, if myInflatedView was
inflated from a layout resource that had something with
android:id="@+id/fu".
In the documentation for the ArrayAdapter constructor you're using, the
second parameter is described as:
"The resource ID for a layout file containing a TextView to use when
instantiating views."
Hence, it is expecting something in the R.layout space ("resource ID for
a layout file").
