LinearLayout cannot be cast to android.widget.ImageView?

Question

In my listView I am trying to set my imageView so I can show unique images for every row but instead I get this error:-

03-09 17:35:12.338: W/dalvikvm(9208): threadid=1: thread exiting with uncaught exception (group=0x417d5898)

My CustomAdapter.java class, where I'm assuming the problem is, looks like this:

public class CustomAdapter extends ArrayAdapter<String> {

     Context context;

     public CustomAdapter(Context context, int textViewResourceId, List<String> objects) {
         super(context, textViewResourceId, objects);
     }

     @Override
     public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
         return getViewOptimize(position, convertView, parent);
     }

    public View getViewOptimize(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {

    ViewHolder holder;
      //Use an existing view if available otherwise create a new View for passing data to
      if (convertView == null) {
          LayoutInflater mInflater= (LayoutInflater) getContext().getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
       convertView = mInflater.inflate(R.layout.list_row, null);
       holder = new ViewHolder();
       holder.mainTitle = (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.title1);
       holder.secondTitle= (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.title2);
       holder.finTitle= (TextView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.title3);
       holder.thumbnail = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.thumbnail);
       convertView.setTag(holder);
      } else {
       holder = (ViewHolder) convertView.getTag();
      }

      holder.mainTitle.setText(Main.mData.get(position));
      holder.secondTitle.setText(Main.mData2.get(position));
      holder.finTitle.setText(Main.mData3.get(position));
      holder.thumbnail.setImageBitmap(img).get(position);
      return convertView;
     }  

     public static class ViewHolder {
      TextView mainTitle;
      TextView secondTitle;
      TextView finTitle;
      ImageView thumbnail;
     }
}

and finally here is my list_row.xml where this image View in question is located:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<RelativeLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:background="@drawable/list_selector"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    android:padding="4dip" >


    <LinearLayout android:id="@+id/thumbnail"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:padding="3dip"
        android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
        android:background="@drawable/image_bg"
        android:layout_marginRight="5dip">

        <ImageView
            android:id="@+id/list_image"
            android:layout_width="60dip"
            android:layout_height="60dip"
            android:src="@drawable/placeholderimage"/>

    </LinearLayout>


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/title1"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignTop="@+id/thumbnail"
        android:layout_alignRight="@+id/title3"
        android:paddingTop="9dp"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/thumbnail"
        android:text="title1"
        android:textColor="#040404"
        android:typeface="sans"
        android:textSize="15sp"
        android:textStyle="bold"/>

    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/title2"
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_below="@id/title1"
        android:paddingTop="9dp"
        android:textColor="#343434"
        android:textSize="10sp"
        android:layout_marginTop="1dip"
        android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/thumbnail"
        android:text="title2" />


    <TextView
        android:id="@+id/title3"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_alignTop="@id/title1"
        android:gravity="right"
        android:text="title3"
        android:layout_marginRight="5dip"
        android:textSize="10sp"
        android:textColor="#10bcc9"
        android:textStyle="bold"/>

     <ImageView android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:src="@drawable/arrow"
        android:layout_alignParentRight="true"
        android:layout_centerVertical="true"/>

</RelativeLayout>

Also when I look at my error log I get the message "Unhandled event loop exception" :

Please help! I can't figure this out.

Answer 1

Well, you're trying to assign a LinearLayout to an ImageView. Instead of:

holder.thumbnail = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.thumbnail); // oops

you probably meant:

holder.thumbnail = (ImageView) convertView.findViewById(R.id.list_image);
