Custom listView design doesn't work on device, but works in emulator

Question

Here's the code:

adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(
                this, 
                R.layout.zalistu, 
                android.R.id.text1, 
                values);

So this is the adapter, where I made my own design for the list ( R.layout.zalistu ) and this work in the emulator, but on the device it gives me an error (the application had stopped unexpectedly) If I use the simple_list_item_1 then it works correctly both on emulator and my device.

Here is R:layout.zalistu:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TextView xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:id="@android:id/text1"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:textAppearance="?android:attr/textAppearanceListItemSmall"
    android:gravity="center_vertical"
    android:paddingLeft="?android:attr/listPreferredItemPaddingLeft"
    android:paddingRight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemPaddingRight"
    android:minHeight="?android:attr/listPreferredItemHeightSmall"
    android:textStyle="bold"
    android:textColor="#FF00FF"
/>

The LogCat:

Android version on my device is 2.3.7, version on emulator is 4.0.4 (API 15)

Answer 1

All the attributes from R.attr you've used, such as listPreferredItemPaddingLeft , are only available as of Android 14 ( ICS ) where your device is gingerbread. Solution : set it manually, try a few values until one seems right. Either that or set the minSDK accordingly.

Answer 2

Use android:id="@+id/text1" instead of android:id="@android:id/text1"

and also...

adapter=new ArrayAdapter<String>(this,R.layout.zalistu,R.id.text1,values);
