Finding a ListView in Android

How do I findViewById for the following XML?

<ListView android:id="@android:id/android:list"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

I need it to set a list adapter.

Your XML must look like this:

<ListView android:id="@+id/ListView_Name"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"/>

in your code:

ListView listview = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.ListView_Name);

findViewById(android.R.id.list)

The ids prefixed with android: are all accessible under android.R.id. Similarly @android:drawableare accessible as android.R.drawable, etc...

This basic example shows you how to use an ArrayAdapter with a ListView. You should really need to ever actually mess with the ListView itself, just the elements that are put in it.
