Display json data in listview

Question

I am trying to display data fetched from an api. I can display the data as a textview andin a log but I cannot get it to display as a list.

I am getting an error " Cannot resolve constructor "

Error:(72, 68) error: no suitable constructor found for ArrayAdapter(<anonymous FutureCallback<JsonArray>>,int,ArrayList<String>) constructor ArrayAdapter.ArrayAdapter(Context,int,int) is not applicable

Here is the full error code

Answer 1

You have to pass a Context as the first parameter of the Adapter constructor. You pass this , which is not a Context . According to your code, MainActivity.this might work

Answer 2

Remove this in constructor and use MainActivity.this instead. this in your case is instance of anonymous inner class not an Activity(context).
