Can a LsitFragment work with ListView?

Question

EDIT: Attached is my code for the custom adapter:

public class ListAdapterFeed  extends ArrayAdapter<String>
{
    Context mContext;

    public ListAdapterFeed(Context context, List<String> feedList){
        super(context, R.layout.fragment_news_feed, feedList);

        mContext = context;
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View contentView , ViewGroup parent)
    {
        View row = contentView;
        if (row == null){
            row = ((Activity)mContext).getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.fragment_news_feed, null);
        }
        //  update your inner views value here
        return row;
    }
}

And the Exception I get in runtime now:

java.lang.ClassCastException: android.view.ContextThemeWrapper cannot be cast to android.app.Activity

I'm trying to work with a ListFragment, and a ListView... But I get a runtime error telling me that:

 java.lang.IllegalStateException: ArrayAdapter requires the resource ID to be a TextView

I don't want to work with a TextView, because I want to add a listener and I would like to add items to the view along the way.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

 setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter(getActivity(), R.layout.fragment_news_feed, rssFeed));

As the crash log shows the ArrayAdapter expects the list item to have at least one TextView to update the values in rssFeed.

You need to create a simple custom Adapter and just Override the getView() like this

@Override
public View getView(int position, View contentView , ViewGroup parent)
{
    View row = contentView;
    if (row == null){
        row = mContext.getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.fragment_news_feed, null);
    }
    //  update your inner views value here
    return row;
}

Now you can set the custom Adapter to the ListFragment

setAdapter(new CustomAdapter(context));
