custom listview error: java.lang.unsupportedoperationexception: addview

Question

I'm really new to android and I know you shouldnt paste whole codes but I honestly have no idea where the problem is.

Im trying to create a somewhat custom list view, with a text and an image, but keep geting this exception and have no idea how to solve it

02-13 13:23:06.477: E/AndroidRuntime(1834): java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: addView(View, LayoutParams) is not supported in AdapterView

so was hoping someone here could help me out. this is what my launcher activity looks like

public class MainActivity extends Activity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        ListView list=(ListView) this.findViewById(R.id.list_view);



        int[] stringIds=new int[2];
        stringIds[0]=R.string.text1;
        stringIds[1]=R.string.text2;

        int[] imgIds=new int[2];
        imgIds[0]=R.drawable.ic_launcher;
        imgIds[1]=R.drawable.ic_launcher;

        CustomAdapter custom=new CustomAdapter(this, stringIds, imgIds);
        list.setAdapter(custom);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    }

    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

}

My CustomAdapter:

public class CustomAdapter extends BaseAdapter {

    Context context;
    int[] stringIds;
    int[] imgIds;
    public CustomAdapter(Context context, int[]stringIds, int[] imgIds) {

        this.stringIds=stringIds;
        this.imgIds=imgIds;
        this.context=context;
        // TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
    }

    @Override
    public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent){
        View finalView=convertView;
        if(finalView==null){
             LayoutInflater inflater=((Activity)context).getLayoutInflater();
             finalView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_view_row, parent);
        } 

        TextView txt=(TextView)finalView.findViewById(R.id.list_view_row_text_view);
        ImageView img=(ImageView)finalView.findViewById(R.id.imageView1);


        img.setImageResource(imgIds[position]);

        return finalView;

    }

    @Override
    public int getCount() {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return this.stringIds.length;
    }

    @Override
    public Object getItem(int arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return arg0;
    }

    @Override
    public long getItemId(int arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        return arg0;

    }
}

Answer 1

Here:

finalView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_view_row, parent);

remove parent

finalView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_view_row, null);

or

finalView= inflater.inflate(R.layout.list_view_row, parent, false);

also use

setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

before getting

ListView
