How do I find/create missing ListView with id - R.id.list? [android]

Question

My android app does not work, I traced the bug and found it is this error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Unable to start activity 
ComponentInfo{com.example.twittersearches_erjan/com.example.twittersearches_erjan.MainActivity}: 
java.lang.RuntimeException: Your content must have a ListView whose id attribute is 'android.R.id.list'

How do I find R.id.list and remove this bug?

Answer 1

in your xml layout :

<ListView
android:id="@android:id/list" //<-- replace your id tag with this
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>   

Answer 2

If you're extending ListActivity, try to use the follow ListView in your xml.

<ListView android:id="@android:id/list"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

Or, you can just extend norml Activity and use your own ListView with your own id.

Answer 3

add this to your listview in the layout xml to use your own layout id

android:id="@+id/list"

Answer 4

<ListView 
    android:id="@+id/list"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>
