uncomment this line

setContentView(R.layout.places);

EDITED:

replace this with your file(Places.xml)

UPDATED

 public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstance) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstance);
        //setContentView(R.layout.places);
        getallLocs();
        setListAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<Fields>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, results));
//        displayLocs();

    }
    private void displayLocs() {
        lv = (ListView)findViewById(R.id.listPlaces);
        lv.setAdapter(new StudentListAdapter(this, R.layout.placeslist, results));

        //lv.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<Fields>(this,android.R.layout.simple_list_item_1, results));

    }

You can't use findViewById() if you haven't set a content-view for the activity. So your lv will be null.

You're using a ListActivity. If you want to add your own style to it, the ListView in your layout needs the id android:list:

<ListView android:id="@android:id/list"
  ...
/>

As illustrated here.

If you use a ListActivity, you don't use findViewById() to get the ListView, you can use the getListView()-method.
