Q:
Error Msg: ArrayAdapter requires the resource ID to be a TextView
A:
The ArrayAdapter requires the resource ID to be a TextView XML exception means you don't supply what the ArrayAdapter
expects. When you use this constructor:
new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.a_layout_file, this.file)
R.Layout.a_layout_file
must be the id of a xml layout file containing only a TextView
(the TextView
can't be wrapped by another layout, like a LinearLayout
, RelativeLayout
etc!), something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
// other attributes of the TextView
/>
If you want your list row layout to be something a little different then a simple TextView
widget use this constructor:
new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.a_layout_file,
R.id.the_id_of_a_textview_from_the_layout, this.file)
where you supply the id
of a layout that can contain various views, but also must contain a TextView
with and id
(the third parameter) that you pass to your ArrayAdapter
so it can know where to put the Strings
in the row layout.
