A simple ListView, extends ListActivity

It's the simplest form of ListView, extends ListActivity. The list is displayed as a single line of plain text, using the simple Android built-in layout "android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1".

A simple ListView, extends ListActivity

package com.exercise.AndroidList;

import android.app.ListActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.widget.ArrayAdapter;

public class AndroidList extends ListActivity {
 
 String[] DayOfWeek = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday",
   "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"
 };
 
    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        //setContentView(R.layout.main);
        setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<String>(this, 
          android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, DayOfWeek));
    }
}

    Hi Androic Eric,

    Thanks for the tutorial, it was informative enough.
    I followed the steps you take in creating the listview but when i opened emulator, it says "unfortunately, the app has stopped."
    Am I doing something wrong? Please help. Thanks

    Strong recommend NOT to test on Android Emulator, many weird exception will happen!

    public class AndroidList extends ListActivity {

    String[] DayOfWeek = {"Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday",

    };

    /** Called when the activity is first created. */
