Select from List

NevilleT

Lurker
I am just starting out using Android, so this is probably a very basic question.

I have created an array called priorityNames. I want to display that in a list and be able to make a selection from that list. At this stage, I cannot get the list to display.

As a starting point I used a short example from windrealm.org tutorials
Any help would be appreciated. Also if anyone can point me to a better example it would be appreciated.

public class SimpleListViewActivity extends Activity {

private ListView mainListView ;
private ArrayAdapter<String> listAdapter ;

/** Called when the activity is first created. */
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);

// Find the ListView resource.
mainListView = (ListView) findViewById( R.id.mainListView );
listAdapter = new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, R.layout.simplerow, R.array.priorityNames);
mainListView.setAdapter(listAdapter);
}
}
