listView arrayAdapter errors

Question

I am encountering errors when trying to use the constructor of my arrayAdapter for a listView. When I call it like this:

ListArrayAdapter adapters = new ListArrayAdapter(this, R.layout.list_view_row_item,     foodList);

I get the error (in eclipse):

the constructor ListArrayAdapter(Context, int, ArrayList<ListItem>) is undefined.

This is the code for the arrayAdapter:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

import android.app.Activity;
import android.app.LauncherActivity.ListItem;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Handler;
import android.view.LayoutInflater;
import android.view.View;
import android.view.ViewGroup;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;
import android.widget.ProgressBar;
import android.widget.TextView;


public class ListArrayAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<ListItem> {

Context mContext;
int layoutResourceId;
ListItem data[] = null;
private ProgressBar progressBar;
private int progressStatus = 0;
private TextView textView;
private Handler handler = new Handler();
ArrayList<ListItem> foodList = new ArrayList<ListItem>();


public ListArrayAdapter(Context mContext, int layoutResourceId, ArrayList<ListItem> foodList) {

    super(mContext, layoutResourceId, foodList);

    this.layoutResourceId = layoutResourceId;
    this.mContext = mContext;
    this.foodList = foodList;
}



@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {


    if(convertView==null){
        // inflate the layout
        LayoutInflater inflater = ((Activity) mContext).getLayoutInflater();
        convertView = inflater.inflate(layoutResourceId, parent, false);
    }           



    return convertView;

}

Change here from

ListArrayAdapter adapters = new ListArrayAdapter(getBaseContext(), R.layout.list_view_row_item, foodList);

to

ListArrayAdapter adapters = new ListArrayAdapter(YourActivityName.this, R.layout.list_view_row_item, foodList);
yourListView.setAdapter(adapters);
