Answer 1

Check this answer .

Your layout listview_for_customlist.xml must contain a ListView like this one:

<ListView android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

Check this line:

 list= (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listview_for_custom_list);

You are using a different id, the ListView id of a ListActivity must be android.R.id.list

Answer 2

When you change your Activity to ListActivity you don't need to findViewById for the ListView that has id as list .

You can just write

getListView().setAdapter(adapter);

In your layout change the id for the ListView to android.id="@android:id/list" and use getListView inside your activity to refer to this list view.

Answer 3

Replace the id of your ListView to use the built in android list id @android:id/list

<ListView android:id="@android:id/list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

Be sure that the id is exactly the same as above.

Then you can get the ListView by doing this

ListView listView = (ListView)findViewById(android.R.id.list);
