LayoutInflater throwing exceptions

Question

I have a custom adapter for a listView. When I try to inflate some View it throws an exception. Here's my getView() code:

public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
    View row = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.items_list_element, parent);
    CheckBox cb = (CheckBox)row.findViewById(R.id.gotItCheckBox);
    String checked = String.valueOf(cb.isChecked());
    return row;
}

The line View row = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.items_list_element, parent); throws this:

Anyone knows what's going on?

EDIT: I've made sure that mInflater isn't null.

Answer 1

Change

View row = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.items_list_element, parent);

with

View row = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.items_list_element, parent, false);

Answer 2

try below code:-

View row=null;
                if (row == null) 
                {
                    LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity) context).getLayoutInflater();
                    row = inflater.inflate(layoutResourceId, parent, false);
                }
