Adding Listview in Activity

I want to add ListView as component in my Activity which uses LinearLayout. I tried simple approach as well 开发者_如何学运维as suggestion mentioned in Embedding a sized ListView in activity - android

But app crashes on Android 2.2 emulator. I can not inherit my class from ListActivity because I want to include some more components.

Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

1) Declare ListView control in xml file which you are setting as contentView and then do Mapping of that Listview in your class file.

2) If you don't want to use ListView in XMl file then use ListActivity

3) If you don't want to use ListActivity and also Don't want to use ListView from Xml file then Make a Dynamic ListView in class file and set that listView as contentView
