onCreate() With a Listview Adapter Note : Always put addFooterView before the setAdapter method -- my footerView was not displaying because of this. I assume this goes for any add###View method, bust come after the setAdapter() or error or won't display.
***basic onCreate
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.main);
***
//onCreate, with adapters and adding view
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
// TODO - Set up the app's user interface
// This class is a ListActivity, so it has its own ListView
// ListView's adapter should be a PlaceViewAdapter
mAdapter = new PlaceViewAdapter (getApplicationContext());
// TODO - add a footerView to the ListView
// You can use footer_view.xml to define the footer
TextView footer = (TextView) getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.footer_view, null);
ListView listView = getListView();
listView.addFooterView(footer);
listView.setAdapter(mAdapter);
